August 2022 (Volume 17, Issue 8)

Hi Paddocks Press fan, 

In Europe, September signals the end of the summer holidays and a return to school and work. In South Africa we are luckier: the beginning of September signals better weather and the beginning of longer, warmer days. What with winter chills, flu and the Omicron variant of the Covid virus, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter.

With the sale of our Park Road premises, Paddocks has entered a new, fully online existence—and it is working really well. So, to continue cribbing lyrics from George Harrison of The Beatles, Here Comes the Sun, and the smiles will soon be returning to our faces!
