Can anyone help?

Wishing all a wonder-filled Christmas to you and your families.
May this Christmas be super special, safe, joyful and may you all be covered in His peace and Grace in 2016 and beyond.
Kevan and I retire as at 31 January 2016 as does Palapa Place. She will now be a private holiday home to a lovely new family.

It has been a great pleasure meeting you all, over the past , almost 12 years, seen some marry, meeting your new babies, meeting your grandchildren here, or seeing your photos and hearing your stories in other cases.
To those who have been regulars, you will be remembered from this lovely part of our lives, which now, sadly, has come to an end.

Be well everyone.

Warmest regards
Kevan and Marcella

NB:
Please read the following.

Kevan and I have decided to retire as at the end of January 2016. Palapa Place is retiring as well, therefore, 55 Newsel Road will revert to being a family holiday cottage, once again, for the new owners to enjoy, as have we for the past 13 years.
We have met some very special people over the years and their children, in some cases, their grandchildren.

Thank you to the many who have referred us and have come back to Palapa Place to stay.

Warm regards to you all and blessings to you and yours always.
Kevan and Marcella

My kind of weather, chilly, overcast grey day, watching the rain fall out at sea (we need it on land!!) fire crackling away (any excuse will do)
So I am at my desk and I have been aware of a low humming all morning, hmmmm, I finally decide to investigate the sound.
As I look up and out across my lounge, to the misty horizon, I see a tug.
It has come to rescue, and remove, the very large, under water pipe, washed up onto our shores, right at the bottom of our lane, after the heavy seas last week.
It had been fondly nick-named by the local residents (romantics that we are) as the Giant Sea Slug.
It has two rubber ducks assisting it.
The rubber ducks and the man power, are making their way to the beach, The men clamour over the rocks onto the beach and so the business of removing the sleeping Giant Sea Slug, from the beach, back over the rocks, out to sea begins.
Very entertaining morning and a job well done.
Back to work, tend to the fire.... sigh... another hard day.

Went for a late afternoon walk today, 56km/h wind blowing, cold onshore winds, sea up on it's head so to speak,
Needless to say the beach was closed today.

Sunday thought to take you through the week :)
“…A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song…” So in whatever circumstance you find yourself.....sing songs of worship and gratitude.

Far from the madding crowd is this beach, 100mts from our cottages... off for a walk on a chilly winters afternoon.

21 Sept - 26 Sept - Seascape Loft:
"We had such a wonderful time here - the Seascape Loft is beautiful and perfect, peaceful, entertaining (beaching whales! dolphins! monkeys! birds!) with the constant sound of the surf.
We kiteboarded, made friends with the local kiters, ate delicious food at Mundo & Bel Punto, had good coffee @ Cafe Java and very memorable times with new friends at Bush Tavern (the Bush Classic Pizza!)
It was a lovely start to our month-long journey through South Africa.
Thank you Kevan and Marcella for a lovely place to stay and warm hospitality.
We hope to meet again!
