FESTIVE SEASON 2021 IS AROUND THE CORNER
Category General Information
Only a few weekends are left until Christmas. Most people would have already made plans to either go away on holiday or to stay at home but with the recent announcement of a new COVID-19 variant, now identified in South Africa, this might force a rethink. This information has created an international stir with much trepidation. The advice provided by the South African medical community is still to observe the recognised protocols; remain vigilant, continue wearing a mask, sanitise, practice social distancing and get vaccinated. In due course more information will be provided on this variant so keep up to date and stay informed when it comes to further developments.
Going Away
Living in a secure lifestyle Estate like Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate means that when going away there will be peace of mind in terms of security of property and possessions. Estates have additional plans in place during the festive season that include increased vigilance and patrols as well as the deployment of additional security personnel to ensure the safety of residents and personal property.
Pets
Also important to remember before travelling is to ensure that a pet will be taken care of by a reliable neighbour, pet sitter or alternatively a pet should be placed in a reputable kennel/cattery. A pet left alone and unattended for long hours is bad news for neighbours who might have to endure hours of barking in the case of dogs and is also cruel. The constant barking of an unhappy dog will probably mean the imposition of penalties and fines issued to the owner by the Home Owners Association or Body Corporate.
Staying At Home - Is Not That Bad
Often the best time to be at home is over the festive season when it is possible to not only rest but also attend to the things around the house for which there never seems to be enough time. What could be nicer than enjoying the garden, swimming pool, having an extended afternoon 'braai' or doing something as simple as reading a book.Staying at home during this festive season may just be the smart choice.
