A week or so before Christmas we had a warm current wash into False Bay, bringing blue bottles and bouy barnacles and other creatures not usually present here. They disappeared in a few days but the water hasfremained unusually warm ever since then. Swimming has been amazingly good on our little beach with sea temperatures reaching 22degrees at one point. We having been making the most of it, swimming almost every day for the past month. No guarantee of it being quite like this next season of course! But whatever the weather this is one wonderful place to be.
