 Landing!

Arrival in Melkbosstrand 

After leaving our beloved home in McGregor 10 months ago, and sojourning amongst the flowers on a friend's wholesale plant nursery, we now find ourselves in the beautiful seaside village, Melkbosstrand, a 40-minute drive from Cape Town. 

We are surrounded by the magnificence of sunrises, and sunsets, with morning walks on the beach, friendly people, and at this time of the year, an exuberance of spring flowers.

Recently I was enticed by the name 'Bessing's Coffee shop & Creative' and wandered in... I picked up a flyer called Open Studios and ordered refreshments. In walked Welma, the warm, friendly, exuberant owner... and within minutes it was decided that I would participate in her Poetry Corner at the upcoming 

Open Studios 2023.

With thoughts of beginning our KalloSophia work again, gently, I decided it would be an opportunity to give a small showcase of some of our work, albeit as a late entrant. So to my surprise I am offering a very short Story and Poetry activity between 14.00 and 15.00 at Blessing's on Sunday afternoon, 10 September in Melkbostrand! Throughout Saturday and Sunday there will be poetry offerings in the coffee shop and many other artistic offerings throughout the village over the weekend.

Do consider joining in the Open Studios 2023 weekend.
