A Day Visit to Vermont — Photographs

posted to: Photos of South Africa, Western Cape

Last week­end my fam­ily headed off to Vermont in the Cape Overberg (just before Hermanus) to say a fond farewell to my grand­father. He had lived in Vermont for more than 25 years and we thought it fit­ting to scat­ter his ashes in the town he called home. Although his house is quite lit­er­ally fall­ing apart Spangereid (as he called it) has an amaz­ing loc­a­tion and it just a short walk to the tidal pool.

They obvi­ously are not expect­ing you to go all the way to America for the week­end, but whilst their brains are whizz­ing around try­ing to place the town on a map, I res­cue them and explain that it lies close to Hermanus. The relief is palpable.

Acquaintances of ours have a wee cot­tage set in the heart of Vermont's 'old' quarter. After stay­ing in the town twice now, and famil­i­ar­ising myself with its streets, I have divided Vermont into the 'old' and 'new', or 'east' and 'west' quar­ters for my own reas­ons. The east or old side is rel­at­ively con­ser­vat­ive with smal­ler homes and pretty gar­dens, whilst the west suf­fers from a ser­i­ous case of 'my house is big­ger than yours' syn­drome (although there are obvi­ous excep­tions).
