Holiday snaps

First, thanks for all the comments on my embossed notepad! The winner, picked by a random number generator, is Megan. I'll post the notepad off asap, Megan.

I spent the weekend in Stilbaai, which has a large online presence for such a small town! Judging by the number of people we saw carrying their pcs into the local repair shop on Monday morning, being an IT guy there must be pretty good.

Strange flowers pop out of the ground all over the place.

An olive grove just outside town, and a patched street. In Cape Town the street repairs are made in rigid blocks, but in Stilbaai they seem to simply pour dollops of tar on any holes. Much prettier. And bumpier.

A huge tree integrated into the landscaping of a new educational centre, and the lamp post where we cross the road to the beach. When I was a teenager going to Stilbaai every year for the summer holidays, this seemed like such a dismal view. Now I love it.

My dream house. Each room a separate dwelling, and all looking as if it's made of marzipan.
