Life is ever-changing. Just when you think that you have it all under control, the carpet under your feet moves a little bit.  Not much, it’s not taken out completely, it just gets ruffled a bit.  Like when a dog comes running, or a child, stops abruptly and “whoops!” the carpet has a fold.  Just…

Today was a memorable day, and I went back on a path that I rarely go on, but sometimes remembering the past hits just right.  You know how it is.  It just touches the vulnerable spots.  We all have those days when we hear a song or see a particular place, or eat something that…

It has been a long time since I last wrote a blog.  I can think of many reasons, but I guess the most important of them all is that we are constantly trying to get as many Meelbroeke out there as possible!  And to do that, we do little else!  But here is  a catchup…

 🎶 ……oooooo die Wit Broek sit nie mooi nie, die Wit Broek sit te styyyyyf…..🎶 neurie die vrou langs my in die winkel vandag. Broeke-liedjies is daar baie.

Een van die eerste dinge wat ons leer wanneer ons klein is, is om te tel.  Een glas koeldrank, twee koekies.  Hoeveel vingers?   Een… twee… drie… vier… vyf!  Hoeveel slapies tot ons by Ouma gaan kuier?  En so aan.  Dit is dieselfde, jaar ná jaar, vir die eerste jare van ons lewe. En dan, baie…

Dis middernagdonker, die lekker stil tyd van die dag en die ideale tyd om bietjie tyd te maak vir ‘n skrywe op die werf.  Die webwerf.  Tog, baie soos ‘n plaaswerf, is die Meelbroeke werf ‘n besige plek! Die groot nuus hierdie jaar is dat ons troue gehou het!  Jip, ons eie Thomas, Sosiale Media…

All of a sudden, its almost December.  Where did the year go?  What happened to the dreaded 2020?  It is quickly coming to an end.   We have been through so much.  Some of us have endured more than the fair share that we feel should be given to us.   We have dealt with a serious,…

Meelbroeke fans, we are bursting with excitement!  We have been keeping this secret since February, all the time waiting for the lockdown and the virus to take its time to pass.  And did we wait!!  All of a sudden, through trial and tribulations, we are in October.  And it is the perfect time to launch…
