Summer is fleeting and practically just, already, a memory, but now comes the most beautiful time in the Highlands...............

Early Autumn, Autumn, Early Winter, Winter, Late Winter.

March - mornings and evenings with a hint of coolness, a promise of beautiful days to come.

April - trees turning into golden spires, for autumn in the Highlands is magnificent.

May- possibilities of snow, or just beautiful clear crisp days, gloriously cool mornings, sometimes mysterious beautiful mist.

June- cold, crisp, the most magnificent views across the valley to the majestic Maluti Mountains beyond.

July - winter, sitting on your veranda at your cottage here at Amohela and watching snow storms chase each other across the mountains, simply stunning.

August - late winter, possibility of heavy snow in the mountains, walks in bright sunlight, early morning coffee in the mountain as you watch the sun rise.
