West Coast Blues

I am the first one to admit that I have a passionate on and off affair with the West Coast. My dad was from Lamberts Bay, my mom from Van Rhynsdorp, but it was the Sandveld accent and a very flat r that got stuck in my DNA. I have so many memories from my…

Going Smaller in the City
