I read The Hobbit back in the early 1980’s. Ever since I wanted a round door.

What an extraordinary door! It looks just like the one in the movie. Your view isn’t too shabby either. Are you overlooking the sea?
I visited Capetown in 2004. Did you see me drive by? We stayed in Fish Hoek in a beautiful modern house over looking the False Bay. We had just missed a sighting of a mother whale and her calf a few days before. We also stopped by the beach at Cape of Good Hope and dipped our toes into the Atlantic & Indian Oceans, avoiding any mishaps from the wild ostriches and baboons. Beautiful, unspoiled countryside.
