The week that was… – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: Nup, that wasn't this week. Wish it was. Yet again the bay has a pretty mundane run of surf. There was the odd "highlight" - when the wind actually stopped blowing for two whole mornings of the entire week - and there were some fun lil lumps to be had. Almost felt like the Twilight Zone or something to be out there in windless glassy conditions, a bit like something was missing. Ah yes, the wind! … [Read more...] about The week that was… – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Hardy little yellow flowers: I am always amazed when I see flowers right on the coast like these at Schoenies. I know they are hardy but how they survive growing in sand and bad soil and getting battered by the salty sea winds all the time and still flower like this is above me.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Yip, summer's officially here. Coupla nice days, coupla stonking wind days. And no surf. Eish.

Saturday morning parkrun – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Saturday morning parkrun: We've started doing the weekly Hobie Beach parkrun as a family, both to get us all active and more fitter as well as for the Discovery Vitality points. Chaos Boy is running a lot faster than what I've ever been able to do while the Damselfly is walking it at this stage as she's not in 100% shape after her last ops yet.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Robbie Irlam Yeeeuuuw! The waves cranked on Sunday. Out west was firing on all cylinders, and when the wind finally abated somewhat (just went down a notch to howling as opposed to full-out gale) there were some solid solid lines pulling into the bay.Some solid solid thigh muscles were still required to deal with the chop, but if you didn't mind the odd bounce-a-thon you were good.

Shopping Centre Train – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Shopping Centre Train: I wonder how many shopping centres have a kiddies train that do rounds though the centre like the one at Moffet-on-Main. Moffet-on-Main is quite a popular spot for families with small children what with the Funky Frogs kiddies play area and a coffee shop for the moms (and dads) right next door. Whoever added the train had a stroke of genius when they did that as it means that there are always kiddies … [Read more...] about Shopping Centre Train – Featured Blog
