“Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. "I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."

A train going nowhere
Last week Terry and I took a drive to Santos Beach, Mossel Bay to have a look at the Santos Express which is a genuine train that has been converted into a lodge with all the compartments facing the sea.

Gulls & Grub at the Gypsy
We set off last week to explore the Mossel Bay Harbour and hopefully get some lovely nautical images.
