"The girls went splashing in the water and played in the sand, but the water was much too cold to actually swim in it. And the wind was blowing briskly, but the sun was beaming down brightly. As we walked along the beach I noticed a snail in the sand in the surf zone. I showed it to the girls. That set Valerie on a quest to collect every one on the beach. She had a wonderful time finding these snails and then releasing them so she could find some more." Edward on holiday in Yzerfontein from Hampton, Virginia, United States

"It's a lovely place by the sea and it has open space, which I love. I try to do the same with my music, create a space in my melodies." Nianell (who owns a home in Yzerfontein)
