Visiting Mary-Anne in Kleinmond

Kleinmond is special to me as, apart from being beautiful, it is where I met Ally on New Year's eve 1992.  The highlight of our two days here was two sublime swims in the Palmiet River and one very invigorating, chilly swim in the ocean.  It was also wonderful to get to know Mary-Anne's beautiful dog, Mitch.

Manly on a lovely sunny winter's day

After seeing Mary Ann and Aaron for lunch in Manly, I went for a stroll and took some photos with my i-phone.  It was a beautiful day.  I really do live in paradise.

So lovely to see Mary Ann and Aaron, visiting from Cape Town. We had a delicious lunch at The Boathouse at Shelly Beach.

I captured this in the tidal pool shallows.  So wondrous!
