SCORCHER

We dont have a pool. We tried a portable pool but that ended up being Willow's daily playpen and I was starting to feel a little "trailerparkish". Usually we descend on Megan en masse but the heat made us think this time we needed to go large - Silvermine dam. Seemed were werent the only ones with the same idea (clearly they dont know about Megan's pool!) It really was beautiful, the dam was warm and there were kids and dogs everywhere. So often on the drive home in the evenings I just set my inner gps to Sea Cottage Drive and never take the time to actually look at the beautiful scenery that I pass, whether its going over Chappies or Ou Kaapse Weg. We really live in the most spectacular place. Just taking a little detour to the dam was the perfect way to end a scorcher of a day and gives you a minute to actually take a minute to stop, breathe and appreciate.
