We missed last year but I am glad that Ingrid and I got to go again this year. As usual the pavilion was booked in case of rain but the weather was excellent. Of course if we did not have the pavilion then Sunday's downpours and steady rain would have come a day earlier.
Herb provided his usual half drum brickette BBQ which was more than adequate for the job. For the first time Ingrid and I did not have boerewors - and some people even noticed and commented. We had chicken sosaties instead.
