You decide half-way through another very hot day that snot be damned, you're taking the family to the beach for a picnic supper to herald in the summer....
By late afternoon there's a stiff wind blowing but you know, from experience, that the other side of the mountain will be hot and still, so you pack a picnic and get going...
45 minutes of stifling hot and sweaty traffic later (and yes, it's only 15h30 but this is Cape Town remember, on a Friday so everyone's leaving work...), you finally arrive, and get parking, at the beach!
Only to discover... it's totally overcast, cloudy, grey with a fresh and chilly breeze a'blowing...
But hell, you've gone to so much effort that you decide to stay to take the baby for a quick run.
And then.... the sun starts to chase those blues away, and slowly the mountain comes back into focus and all the hairs on your arms stand up as the late afternoon rays peek through the clouds...
And soon it's like the winter never was...
And your heart exults at the thought of the summer beach fun times ahead...
Cape Town you beauty!
