Between Swellendam and Bredasdorp
(Retrospective 2019)
Willemine J Lieuwes in Napier may be an oldie but her bird dens are new. Daily you can find Willemine in her workshop with saw, hammer and what more. Last week she made some bird dens for pigeons. Her bird dens are featured at Greta’s Bookshop along the main road in Napier (towards Bredasdorp). Oh … and the photo at the top is one of the several trays she made for accommodations in the region.
Jeremy is the shoe repair man and locksmith of the Overberg. His workshop is in Bredasdorp. ‘No Safe is Safe for Jeremy’ ( 😉 )
Craftmanship is Mastership!!!

Yesterday (Friday) afternoon at 3: First Capetonians arriving within the boundaries of the Cape Agulhas Municipality for their weekend getaway in places like Napier, Bredasdorp, Arniston, Struisbaai and Cape Agulhas. Every Friday about 10000 to 15000 cars with registration plates of the Mother City (including suburbs) escape Table Mountain for enjoyment in the Overberg; the majority to Hermanus/Gansbaai, followed by the mentioned places and Greyton.
An ‘porthole’ impression of this morning’s visit to the Shipwreck Museum in Bredasdorp. It’s undoubtfully together with the Genadendal Mission Museum one of the better local museums in the Western Cape, South Africa. It’s not co-incidental that they both have the same curator in the person of Odette Weir from Bredasdorp. Worthwhile the visit!!!
This morning between Stormsvlei and Swellendam. Picture shot from Bredasdorp; 50 km from the shower.
