A real South African Braai in the Snow and all ...

On Thursday Guy had been down in Bournemouth and had gone to a South African shop and got all kinds of SA goodies for the braai, then on Friday after he dropped us off he went to pick up a whole lot of Boerewors from somewhere else.

From the time we woke up it had started sleeting on and off, so instead of walking up the co-op, I got a ride in Wendy's new sports car, her Opel Tigra or as they say in the UK vauxhall.

Paula and Kathleen were the first to arrive at 2:00pm and Em again was so pleased to have a play mate, they had not seen each other for 2 years but it was like they were only apart a day.

The whole evening was absolutely brilliant, Guy made the best braai ever (besides my husband), Lynn and her brother came round and it was so great to see Lynn, we saw her last in July last year when she popped over to Ireland for Em's 4th birthday party. It was great catching up. We ate and drank far too much especially as we had to be up early to leave for Holyhead to get our ferry back to Dublin.
