Burnt House Rebuilt

Wednesday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we had a lovely morning walk, which included a gander up the start of your peak! This is from the path on the way up…

And then looking the other way, the new house is making grand progress…

We didn’t climb the mountain, but took the path left towards Contour Rd.  The view from up there is stunning on a cloudy Fish Hoek morning…

Maybe one day soon, we’ll climb Elsie’s Peak again. We haven’t done that for a while.

Meanwhile, yesterday, on our way back from our Glencairn walk, I took a photo of the house that was burnt in the dreadful April fire.

Now they are getting close to completion…

It makes me so happy to see. There is something very encouraging seeing a new building rising from the ashes. On 7th October, it will be 6 months since the fire. The burnt section is still very barren, but there are signs of life sprouting up amidst the charred mountainside.

Julian arrived today and tomorrow, guess who is also coming? More exciting visitors!

Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Gran xx 🙂
