Weather logistics are still very much at play: The Cape of Storms scarily whipping and slashing its path, swelling the sea to monstrous, threatening heights, never ending rain and hail [check blog: notes from the cape ] with added chill factor of snow on mountains not yet visible. Check http://www.skinnylaminx.com/ found different kind of 'snow' more like slightly melted marshmallows frothing and lashing about.

Personally, we had some damage and leakage control to attend to. The transparent fibreglass roof sheeting of car-port nearly had a 'rip roaring party' of it's own and around here along the main roads some up-rooted trees, lots of branches and blown over signboards. What's really curious is the constant, reliable supply of our ever so controversial electricity...


With 'cooped' up indoor activities, I decided to bring the beach to me and play, with a purpose of course. I promised to do this some time ago and eventually figured out a more artistic approach.


Muizenberg has it's own logo/brand. The stylised design depicts the beach huts in their glorious primary colours; also to be found on flags along Main Road in Muizenberg.






Found this calender picture from some time ago.
Together with the logo you will find a logo store. Interestingly, this one is in the Rustenberg Pharmacy on Beach Road. Novelty gifts, stationary, t- shirts and souvenirs all from a beach hut and interesting fotos of a bygone era. When you've run out of gift ideas and need something from this area, go check out the logo store. For more details look at the link of the whale heritage site under shop and dine.







"Building" with the beach sand is really extremely therapeutic and its such wonderfully fine , smooth, running texture. [ like refined salt]




Ahh, there is a glimmer, shimmer of light, nothing beats going to the real, big 'sand- pit' and who knows, next we'll bring snow or move the mountain home, well okay, I'll wait for the 'sun button' then...
