Last weekend we spent a delightful afternoon at Roots Restaurant
in the Cradle of Humankind, celebrating Wiets’ uncle’s 69th birthday. We are big fans of Roots at Forum Homini, so much so that we got married there
two years ago and I’ve blogged about it here and here. All the guests were
dressed in white and the warm autumn weather allowed us to spend time soaking
up the sun whilst sipping champagne. Beautiful venue, AMAZING food and great company
made for an unforgettable lunch. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
