Residents of Thornhill Manor celebrated Heritage Day on September 24 with a classic South African braai in the village park.
Chairs, tables and picnic baskets dotted the open, tree-filled space as around 50 residents enjoyed the outdoors, good food and each other’s company.
“This is what retirement is all about here – it’s like being on a permanent holiday,” says Jackie Scott, deputy village manager.
The village office provided braais, tables, chairs, charcoal, and braai tools, while residents brought their own meat, sides, and drinks, creating a shared celebration that captured the spirit of the day.
