9. September 2008 Whenever you are on this planet, December is the month of great eating and no more so than in Paternoster. Laden cooler boxes arrive in the village on the back of 4X4's, brimming over with tasty treats for the family to enjoy in this fresh air and what with all the beach activities, the contents do not last for long.

The time for long red wine evenings and burning fireplaces finally arrived. Now is the time on the West Coast to prepare for winter evenings. Not much to do here, but good friends are now coming together again to have long talks and build quality friendships. Our restaurants are changing their menus and getting blankets ready for that very cosy nights around the fire.

9. September 2008 Almal het seker al gehoor van Tietiesbaai.

Van alle uithoeke van ons land, stroom die mense hierheen en vra, "waar is die tiet dan?" Sommiges is teleurgesteld omdat dit dan nie ‘n regte een is nie. Ander is heel in hulle noppies, want dit is seker
