Walking the Simon’s Town Tracks

Sunday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day we had some time together on video while we cleaned the Seaview Apartment. Guests left at 12noon. At the same time, I received a request from the guest who was due to arrive tomorrow, to ask if he could arrive today. Mike & I sprang into action, taking an hour and a half to bring it up to shape. The guest arrived at 2.30pm.

Later this afternoon, Julian and I walked from Harbour Bay to Simon’s Town Station and back, but we walked the Simon’s Town railway tracks. For some months now the trains have not been running between Fish Hoek and Simon’s Town, so it’s safe walking on the tracks. We parked at Harbour Bay and headed off towards the lines.

We walked along the path which then took us up against the fence below a naval battery.

We soon got down to the rail lines again and walked all the way along to the beach.

When we got to the start of the railway wall, we hopped onto the beach.

I haven’t been on this beach for years. It’s actually called Long Beach.

In front of Simon’s Town station.

And from the car park there is this view of the yachts and navy vessels.

From there we went back up to Simon’s Town road and walked back to Harbour Bay. I had put my cell phone in my left pocket and as I pulled it out, out came a bunch of R100 notes that fell to the ground and then started to blow away in the wind. Julian jumped on one. I jumped on another. There were a few female naval cadets off duty walking on the road and one of them stomped on a third. Fortunately, all were recovered! We soon got back to the mall where we did a little shopping before heading home. Mike has just made spaghetti bolognaise and we are about to eat.

A good Sunday.

Psalm 145:15
The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food at the proper time.

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

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Gran xx 🙂
