New Year’s Eve braai with the family – Featured Blog

As we were away over Christmas we didn’t have a Christmas lunch with the family.  We decided to rather do it on New Year’s Eve and both Ouma and the In-Laws came over for a braai tonight.  Chicken sosaties, cheese sausage, kabernossies (a smoked russian type of sausage), skildpaadjies (minced liver in net fat) and braai broodjies (toasted sandwiches with cheese, onion and tomato made over the coals).  As I type this my MIL’s trifle is being dished up so before I sign off and go and have dessert I just want to wish all of you a Happy New Year.  May all your wishes come true in 2016.  Check ya’ll next year. 

We had to go and do a little shopping at Baywest Mall this morning and as always stopped to watch the skaters on the ice rink.  I tried to think how long it’s been since the one at the old Tramways building closed down.  20 odd years?  The folk of PE had to wait a long time to glide over the ice again and looking at how good some of the skaters are I imagine a few of them are regulars. I even noticed the other day that there is ice hockey now as well.  Great to see the locals support the facility.
