CHAPTERS END SO NEW ONES CAN BEGIN
46 years of my family life in the beautiful town of draws to a close.
My mom, ex model and ex property developer, pioneer and brave hearted warrior, moved my brother and I down to the coastal town of Hermanus in 1980.
As a single mom she envisage a life for us where we could have the freedom to jump on our bikes, get ourselves to school, extra murals and to friends, giving her the comfort in our safety to focus on building our lives.
46 years later the little village, no longer a sleepy retirement hollow, where the only teen action was eating ice cream on the old harbour wall, is now a flourishing micro city. Driving your jeep down the plaat is no longer legal, crayfish licenses are a drag and limited, and the quiet secrets the village held have become mainstream IG content. (Said post)
It is with great gratitude, to the experience that made my extraordinary childhood prosper, that I say goodbye to our family home and all the joy of life in that specific geography that came with it.
And most importantly a very public declaration of love and unbelievable luck of having my mother choose that life for us 🙏🫶🥂😎
And now is the business of writing the beginning of new chapters.
Namaste
