Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was a super hot day in Cape Town. As we began the work week on Monday morning, at the beach with a wonderful swim, we ended the work week in the same way – at the beach this morning swimming in warm Fish Hoek water.
Last night at around 10pm, we got a message from Des and Marcy. They stayed with us in December. They had just arrived back from the UK and their house was having some final renovations done. Des sent a message inviting us round for drinks and snacks, so early this evening we went! It was bumper to bumper from Kalk Bay through to St. James. There was no particular incident that caused the traffic jam – it was just a stunning Friday evening and everyone wanted to go to the beach, to Kalk Bay, to Muizenberg, to Fish Hoek, to St. James and everywhere in between. One person on Facebook posted this…
Fortunately it didn’t take us that long to get to our destination. We managed to park on the sea-side of the Main Rd – a quick U-turn in the bumper to bumper traffic did the trick. We walked the short distance to our destination. Their house is about 90 years old and is beautifully renovated. The house from the back…
The views from the front are stunning.
The pool deck.
What struck me is how close they are to the sea. At high tide the waves were crashing against the rocks right below. Both the sea and the train are so close by.
It was really fun being there. The ‘snacks and drinks’ turned out to be a few snacks and drinks, followed by a lovely light dinner. They also had a friend named Liz visiting. They are all so well travelled. Des has travelled to 77 countries at least & Liz 32. It’s amazing the places they’ve been.
We ended up getting home an hour ago, hence this late blog.
A lovely way to end the week.

Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
