Fire in Simon’s Town

Tuesday

Dear Elsie

Today was a day there were a lot of helicopters about because there was a big mountain fire above Simon’s Town. Fire services were out in force as there was a strong south-easter blowing. There were numbers of helicopters going back and forth. Sanparks.

And a military chopper. From our house, we can see the smoke but not smell it as it’s blowing towards Noordhoek.

From Simon’s Town it’s a different story. There are a lot of photos taken and posted on the neighbourhood Whatsapp group, but they have been forwarded so I don’t know who took them, although this one was clearly from the Deep South Report!

I also took some screen shots from video footage.

This was the 4pm update…

It’s going to be a long night for the fire crew.

I worked almost 7 hours and now we are about to have dinner. Julian is about to land.

Isaiah 50:9
It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Gran xx
