I love stores like that, where the shop itself is also a story! What an amazing place to explore...

I still find it interestingly synchronistic that my mom and stepdad (retired to the UK and southern Spain, at the time) would spend three months in Hermanus each year during their "tax refugee" years (early 1980s till near 2000) and always spoke very highly of it. Somewhere in my stuff I have a few old photos from there that she took during visits. I think I probably told you this, way back when...
