Klipsan Beach Cottages: February-April 2012
Dec 24, 2012 by Tangly Cottage
Looking back on the year at KBC
Because I also administrate the KBC Facebook page (because the owners are dear friends, and because I think it is the best place to stay on the Peninsula, and because it is still my favourite job), I have a wealth of garden photos for 2012, enough to make an entry for each season.

I love knowing that you two were responsible for one of the most beautiful gardens I know, way back when (before I knew you). We started going to KC in about 2015. Every time we visited we toured your/the Caldwell’s garden at different times of the day. It inspired way back then. Really wonderful work.
