We're fast approaching the winter solstice. When we get down onto the beach it's still dark. A few excited South African golfers are clustered around the clubhouse entrance but it will be a good hour before the greenkeepers let them onto the sacred turf. They ask where they can get a coffee and wander off towards the ever reliable ( and early opening ) Starbucks. One of their number is left in the cold to guard their clubs. The towns capacity to absorb new coffee shops seems limitless. This week a Cafe Nero has opened on the site of the expensively trendy ( and rapidly defunct ) clothing store and the old Clydesdale Bank building is undergoing a major renovation that will see it emerge as a ' Coffee Emporium '. Bizarrely, all the coffee shops are full to bursting ( super early mornings excepted ) no matter what time of day you visit.

A beautiful sunrise, well worth rising early. Clouds make for such a dramatic dawn.
