Don’t forget to turn the water off

Somebody with a great sense of humor and the environment took a permanent marker to a public shower at Kings Beach. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone illegal graffiti, but I bet he's (she?) a regular walker who has had to turn the tap off after people on more than one occasion. I really like … Continue reading Don’t forget to turn the water off →

Free parking

Free parking. Ideal for summer transport. Spotted at the entrance to the Beach Hotel. I don't know how many people take their bicycles to the hotel but I do find the sign very quirky.

Beachfront sign – also a grass safe house

Don't you just love (or hate) it when people do something with all the good intentions in the world and then afterwards realize that they just didn't think it through properly.

Taking a gardening break before the wind comes

It's been a beautiful day in the Bay today and with some bad weather coming I made the most of it. Spent the morning Geocaching with the Kids and did a quick bit of gardening in the afternoon, although I did feel like this wind vane at times. I snapped the pic at Ann's Villa recently.

Furry friends welcome

Port Elizabeth's beachfront is popular with everybody. Joggers, walkers, surfers, families, cyclists, skateboarders, people walking their furry four legged friends, visitors and locals alike. All of these were delighted to see the redevelopment of Something Good and all of these are welcome there. Yes, even the furry friends.
