Two sides of the same city

I didn’t manage a lie in, but was free to chill out round the house while Joyce and John went to church, as it was also their AGM afterwards which they could not get out of.  I contemplated going for a dip in the pool, but having dipped a toe in decided it was far too cold!  Although the weather is fine, the days are short and there is not enough time for the water to heat up.

At lunchtime, Joyce and I took a food delivery to the local township which is part of their church mission.  We were greeted by an enthusiastic little 3 year old boy, and two friendly dogs.  It gave me a chance to get up close and personal with the side of the city that many ignore.
This was in great contrast to our excursion in the afternoon.  We had an exquisite Sunday lunch buffet at the Kipling Brasserie in the large, new and exclusive 5 star Boardwalk hotel.  We walked off dinner along the beach, and I dipped a toe in the Indian Ocean.
