I discovered this bath outside a small guest cottage in the back of Durbanville. This is Africa, so it’s of course normal for us to bath outside – not!

I’ve seen many ingenious uses for a bath – one being as a huge plant pot and another being as a braai fit to cook the meat for an army of hungry people. I wonder, there must be someone out there who’s turned a bath into a poor-man’s swimming pool. Assuming that you live in a warm country, imagine having one of those large Victorian baths outside your home. Instead of relaxing on a deck chair in the sun, you could relax in a cool bath. Is it just me or does it sound like an awesome idea?
