I can’t believe how the year has simply flown by and that we have already reached our final edition of the year. The festive season is upon us and soon we will be welcoming loads of visitors to our area; all reminding us of just how alluring our ‘home’ is. Having just returned from India, I am made acutely aware each day of just how blessed we are to live and work where we do, when there are so many in need, all over the world. Over the course of this last year, we have hosted some wonderful events at Brettenwood, welcoming family and friends into our Estate – it’s always so wonderful to see our residents’ incredible sense of community on such occasions. Thank you for being a part of some great memories. We look forward to making even more of them as the new year unfolds. We celebrated the 1- year anniversary of our move to our new offices, with a spectacular luncheon this last October. A big thank you to Cindy Rynhoud from Love Laugh for her amazing floral contribution and to Jackie Cameron for supplying the recipes. I must say they are simply the perfect dishes for holiday entertaining with friends and family this festive season. And so easy too! You will find them on page 11, so give them a try, you won’t regret it. At our luncheon, we drank a toast to my dad who would be so proud of his team and the legacy he has left behind. After all, without his vision and passion for this Estate, none of us would be here today. It’s been 18 months since he passed and what a year and a half it has been! I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our new Chairman of the Homeowners’ Association, Sally Ensor-Smith. Sally has been a director of BHOA for many years and with her passionate drive and vision, the future of the Homeowners’ couldn’t be in better and safer hands. We are exceptionally proud to have her join us in this capacity and look forward to sharing a rewarding relationship. It has also been a year filled with love and matrimony. We congratulate our Home & Country staff member, Veloshnee who recently got married, as did Morgan and Kristy from Habiscape. We wish them all the best for a happy future filled with love and laughter. In closing, as we say goodbye to 2016, we are filled with an immense sense of excitement. We will be launching a variety of new developments within the Estate in 2017 and we can’t wait to introduce you to them. But first, we are seeing this year out in style, with the launch of ‘Timberland at Brettenwood’ - take a look at page 32. Set on possibly one of the best sites on Brettenwood with views of both the sea and the forest, these sectional title units are sure to fly, so make sure you secure yours today! On behalf of my sisters and everyone at The Hulett Development Company, we wish all our homeowners’ and readers a wonderful festive season and all the best for the New Year.
