sep, 6th - toasty....


day 565:

all this wet, windy and whirling weather has made me think of long scarves, a new winter coat and cleaning up my gum boots for splashing with Limi. 
although, i would be just as happy right now, curled up in front of a fire, covered in a cable knit blanket and reading her Winnie-the-Pooh . preferably, in front of this fireplace...... 


it's in one of my favourite bar's/ restaurant's in Kalk Bay, South Africa (see days 437 & 437 continued). called Polana, it is wedged snugly against the pier in Kalk Bay's working harbour. 




the bar has the most spectacular window right on the waters's edge. in winter the waves crash up against the glass with some ferocity and during summer you can sit and spot the local otters frolicking in the waves. 



we go to curl up on the skinny la minx {see day 515} pillows and sip huge glasses of deep red, South African wine. 
and later as we're leaving, i love to stop and watch the local fishermen hauling in their silvery, slippery catch.

tues, 30th - winter wonderland....


day 290:

woke up to a winter wonderland today.......

like my waxing lyrical about autumn (see day 239), no matter how many times i experience snow, i still feel like a giddy child when i open the shutters and see the world turned into a quiet and simplified landscape....

we didn't take Limi to the park....not that much fun when she's still mainly crawling...but i can't wait to do this with her (pic from last year).....


for some whimsically beautiful pics of this year's snow in Amsterdam, look here.
