Cousin's Braai...

The Day of Reconciliation is a Public Holiday and is held on December 16th in South Africa each year. Traditionally, we have held a Cousin's Braai (barbecue) annually on this day. Unfortunately, our numbers were rather depleted due to illness, COVID-19 and the fact that Riaan had chickenpox, but we still had a nice afternoon with my parents and Shirley's family at her house.

Shirley had Christmas stockings made for our three kiddos!
