Just below the tennis courts at the Forever Resort at Loskop Dam, on a piece of land jutting into the watery expanse, there’s a big old thorn tree standing next to the water. The tree’s extended root system, exposed by the action of countless waves, is the perfect perch from which to enjoy the most spectacular sunsets over the dam and the hills that surround it. Though cloud cover on the distant horizon obscured the setting sun on Good Friday, we got enough of a taste to be sure that this was the spot we’d want to spend every evening this Easter…
Saturday evening had an altogether different feel to it though. Very welcome rain had been falling almost the entire day, and dark, broody storm clouds and a constant drizzle were our companions that evening.
And then came Sunday’s sunset! On our tree-root front-row seats we were bathed in the glorious golden glow of a perfect bushveld sunset.
As a Christian family celebrating the cornerstone of our faith, we felt profoundly blessed for being together in that spot at that point in time. Life doesn’t get any better than this.

Ooo dis pragtig. Sonsondergang en water is perfek. Bly jul kon die Paasfees so saam geniet . Loskopdam bring natuurlik baie herinneringe. Het baie van Potties af Secunda toe gery en terug. Laat aand as ek terug gery het het ek die venster oopgedraai en rustig die heerlikheid ingeneem.

Sjoe Ineke, dis nogal n hengse afstand heen-en-weer op een dag, en seker nie die beste van paaie altyd nie? Was dit vir werk?

Ja die pad tussen Middelburg na Bethal was altyd in n toetand van mooi ry of anders! Jong as mens jonk is en verlief doen mens snaakse dinge. Vrydae na skool Secunda toe en Sondagaand laat terug Potties toe. (Was darem veilig om alleen te ry in 1980)
