FAMILY DAY Bring ‘n Braai - 26/11 We enjoy Family Day twice a year ( 2nd Saturday in April and the last Saturday in November an Easter and Christmas craft market ). This November was fortuitously a sunny day in between rainy days. Our garden was looking wonderfully green. Meeting new faces and catching up with family news created a buzz of conversations. Many family members shared their spread, and there were some tasty spicy foods as well as Paul’s bucket of KFC that he dished out to everyone as a starter. There were some new faces this year as well as the regulars. On this occasion residents were expected to braai their own meat on skottel braais or charcoal braais. And so a new traditional begins. Cooking one’s own food. Everyone found out that they could actually cook and that standing around a braai in the good old South African tradition is a fun activity. Crafters sold some of their wares. Everyone went home smiling.

Florida’s Electricity Outage On the 12th of April Florida and surrounds, experienced a power outage for a few hours. This being a regular occurrence in the area we thought that it would only last for a few hours. TO our shock and dismay we learned through Councillor Caleb Finn that there was a problem with our local transmitter and that it would take days to repair. We endured intermittent power outages until 17th of April. We are grateful to Councillor Finn for providing us with a schedule for the Load Rotation that occurred and constantly pushing for us to be back in the light.
