Our move last week was pretty uneventful, but finding comfort in our new home has been a little confusing. There are so many rooms and often we can be found wandering around, looking for that 'thing' that was just there a minute ago, but in which room?
Here are a couple of pics of the front part of the house at sundowner time. The house photo is from the front garden with the kitchen on the right and the sitting room, dining room to the left, and you can see where our sundowner table nestles in the corner of the veranda.

It's sunny and we are beginning to settle in, and SA is easing its way into the summer/Xmas holidays where everything shuts down, and it's wonderfully quiet around town. We're going to a music club tonight, which we hope may help replace Sunday evenings at the Station House, where I gather the Rowan brothers convene today Sorry to be missing that one!
We're just back from a hike in an area down the Peninsula called Silvermine. We reached the top of a peak with gorgeous views of the valley below and a long stretch of beach on the Atlantic Ocean side called Noordhoek beach, almost always deserted because the water is cold and the tides are dangerous. It looked picture perfect from above. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera to show you!
We got down from the mountain at 2pm and were hardly able to find a bite to eat - all the restaurants and deli's were packed. The economy really swells when folks are on holiday.
Like the rest of South Africa, the Stanford Centre is also preparing to slow down, at least between Christmas and New Year. The students begin arriving on January 2nd. Two weeks today!
Less than a week til Christmas - hoping for peace and good times for all.
