I’ve often driven past communal braaiing spots and wondered what kind of a person goes to all the effort of transporting braai paraphernalia to a public spot.

Yesterday I found out.

We had a braai in Tokai Forest and it was simply delightful. Open space, lots of trees and dappled sunlight, logs to sit on and pine needles to deaden other people’s music blaring from their cars.

So here are a few of my favourite things about braais:

* You don’t have to wash up anything afterwards.
* Charred meat.
* Eating in the great outdoors.
* Relaxed conversation.
* Fire.

It’s a two day week. Anything more serious would be asking too much of me!
