Clifton with Mary-Ann and the family

After a wonderful visit with Russell's dad and Kobus in Sea Point, I walked to Clifton.  I adore Clifton; it epitomises Cape Town and its beauty for me.  I lazed on the beach and walked from 1st beach to 4th beach, enjoying the nubile sights, before the others arrived.  Mary-Ann and I had a very bracing dunk in.  So invigorating!

Lunch with Heather

Heather and I had a great catch up and a nice lunch at a local restaurant.  We then went for a shady walk in The Contantia Green Belt to escape the heat.

Happy 14th birthday to Matthew who always keeps me on my toes and in stitches of laughter with his sense of humour. Thanks for always being around for my technical support of all things phone and computer related and for keeping me up to date with the latest hip music!! Love you madly!!

New Year 's Eve 2017

Jo and I had a fabulous new year's eve in Table View, photographing Table Mountain in the setting sun followed by fireworks on the beach.  It was a chilly night requiring a draped table cloth and hot chocolate to keep warm!  The homemade fireworks were a "wild west" affair but that added to the excitement.  A new year's eve to remember.
