Thanks to Saskia for this photo of Muizenberg sent to remind me of where we used to live in Cape Town......[as if I could have forgotten!] our house was just behind the tall block of flats. Sunrise Beach is the one of the previous beach hut photo and was our afternoon playground. So Toby, you started off in a good place your first six years! Safe journey tomorrow as you fly off to find those Sydney beaches.
Most of you will have known at least one of the four big bouviers we've had and when we lived here we had Chaka named after a big black fearsome Zulu chief.This was his exercise spot and although we knew that he would always come back he would run away along this beach chasing seagulls to the left until he became a speck in the far off distance. There was no way he would come when we called even if he could hear us and then just as we were beginning to panic or get unbelievably angry, he would run back and sit bolt upright at our feet and stick to us like glue from then on like a well behaved dog. This would sometimes take forty minutes or so. One day he was doing his thing and was way ahead of me as I walked along collecting shells doing my thing. For some entirely bizarre and surreal reason there were two nuns in black walking slowly with their backs to me quite a way ahead. I happened to look up and see Chaka idle up to one of them lift his enormous leg and wee all down her habit. Being the goodly person that I am I turned round, walked away and totally disowned him! A good example of turning a blind eye!
You can see that I have finally learned how to do hyperlinks today...clever!
Look at you busting out the hyperlinks! Well done :)
