Some of my very best memories of childhood are from our family excursions to the beach. Lazing on the sand, building sandcastles, frolicking in the shallows, surfing down the waves, eating ice cream from a cone. All these memories are a form of bliss. You can see a big, delighted smile on my face in all the photos. My favourite beaches as a child were Muizenberg, St James and Boulders.
So many of my beach memories involve Gran and Gramps (Sorrell) and Granny and Grandpa (Station). Gran and Gramps always came to the beach with us on their holidays to Cape Town, sometimes with Granny and Grandpa in tow. I have a particularly fun memory of paddling out in an inflatable boat with Gramps at Boulders Beach. Gramps always went a beautiful bronze colour in the sun. Grandpa (Station) used to take me to Muizenberg by train for long walks along Muizenberg beach which I absolutely loved.
