While it does not get as cold here at night as more inland, it is COLD during the winter months in the evening outside.
You can of course drink a lot of red wine, as an eldery lady told me years ago on a cold winter evening " when you drink enough red wine, then you are warm inside"
After the first flower seasons --- August till middle October, Kobus said that he will built a roof over the "skaapkraal"
Lucky for us, the "skaapkraal" is right next to the open air part.A part of the stone walls were part of a blacksmith shop in the 1800's.
The other walls were built by Kobus"s father in 1942 .
We use the roofed part actually much more than the open air part , it has its own unique atmosphere with rocks inside.
Over the next couple of post I will take you down memory lane about the construction and building of the roof ( Kobus did it all with the help of 2 workers )
In the meantime, take a look at these lovely wedding pictures of decor and dancing in the roofed part.
