New addition Hosted on Zooomr

Matias got rats for his birthday and so everyone was happily playing with the new additions to the family. This is my favourite shot, of Milja holding ‘Basil’.

Llandudno beach. A group of us came to the beach, some to swim, some to bodyboard, some to play and dig in the sand. It was hot and we were in the shade of the rocks that line the beach. Photo by Milja of India and I walking to the water to test how cold it was. It was very cold.

Ratanga Junction is the theme park here in Cape Town. We went today as it is closing tomorrow for Autumn. We waited for hours in queues, but we still had a good time. This photo is with Milja, Harrison and Matias on ‘Monkey Falls’, a log flume ride with a rather large and long drop at the end.

Llandudno beach is a popular spot for surfers. The small community is built onto the hills leading up from the beach and follows the single road up to the main pass between Hout Bay and Cape Town. The water is freezing, and it is hard to stay in for longer than 30 minutes even with a wetsuit. These surfers seemed to be surviving OK, although there weren’t many big waves today.

At Primi with Charlotte and Roxi. This is one of my favourite ever shots of Milja.

Happy New Year everyone!

Braai

Braai Hosted on Zooomr

It has been very quite and subdued this week. Minna and co. are away, and now that the Christmas hustle and bustle of the lead up to Christmas is over, nothing much has happened. Today Milja and Charlotte went into Cape Town shopping, leaving me at home reading up for Java. We had a small braai to use up leftover food when they returned.

Christmas swim

It is not every year that you can swim out in the warm sun on Christmas Eve. As I am in the photo I obviously did not take it – thank you Milja. I am helping India to swim; she has got the hang of it very fast.

We hung with the Hugalls for the second day in a row today. We took the boys to the sand dunes, and they seemed to be attached to their cameras

Skating rush

Skating rush Hosted on Zooomr

This is the ice rink at Grand West Casino. It is quite popular, especially around Christmas. It is strange to see people whizz past even though they have lived in a stinking hot country all their lives, and I can’t even stand up on skates

Township folk

Township folk Hosted on Zooomr

We went on a township tour today. I don’t take too many photos of people but this one stood out to me. Something about the calmness of the township being represented in their faces and postures.
