Dear Readers,
As we settle into the rhythm of 2025, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for everything unfolding in our valley. One of the biggest joys of the new year has been the arrival of Greyton’s very own Unimog firetruck—a mighty machine standing proudly thanks to the generous support of our community. The list of donors is long, and each name is a reminder of how deeply we care about keeping our valley safe. What a powerful testament to what we can achieve together. We’re also thrilled to share that The Greyton Post now has a ‘newsroom’ in the Oak and Vigne Courtyard! Meetings are by appointment, but if the door is open, do pop in—we’d love a chat or to hear your latest news bite. Look out, too, for our upcoming Greyton Post community newsboard in the village where events and local updates will be on display - contact us for details should you like to advertise. We’ll keep you posted on the exact location
shortly. As we grow, so do our costs. If you enjoy the paper and would like to support us, please consider scanning the QR code on the front page to make a voluntary donation. R50 per copy helps us cover rising print costs and exciting developments like our new premises and outreach efforts. You could also consider an annual donation of R300, which helps ensure you receive your copy while supporting the continued growth of the paper. Every little bit helps us keep The Greyton Post alive, inclusive, and free to those who may not otherwise afford it. Thank you for your continued support—readers, writers, advertisers, and every one of you who brings this valley to life.

WORD SEARCH RENOVATIONS
I’ve kept my winter boots hidden, under the cupboard where dust sits and shovels all summer long,
while the sun goes on and on, bloom baked upon bloom lingering upon skin - no soggy socks in sight - as of yet - For the golden drip drops I cling to & sunshine splatters are on my mind, but the rainy season cannot be swept away like dried leaves & soon my boots will have to make an appearance.
