@beverley365 Yes Beverley, thatched roofs are very popular here. It goes back to the 1650's when the Dutch arrived and started building these typical Cape Dutch style homes.

@casablanca Thanks Casablanca, it was taken in November and looks more like me ;-)

[Dorothy]

I enjoy seeing your part of the world so I’ve done a bit of exploring of the Vergenoegd wine estate history. You are so close to the sea.

I love the white building surrounded by the green meadow.
