Sneezewoods Thatching





Can we do it? 33 days to go before Addo peals the wedding bells for Grant & Gemma...



David, Margaret and I strolled down to Chrislin African Lodge's in-house restaurant and wedding venue, Sneezewoods this beautiful morning to admire the agility of the Sneezewoods thatchers. It is quite amazing how teamwork is the name of the game, seconded by speed and accuracy. One gentleman levelling a bundle of thatch and throwing to two men on the roof who pack it in, another trimming these bundles and another group compacting it. A new form of meditation from a levitated position?!

The pressure is certainly on to get Sneezewoods ready for the wedding in 33 days. Doors, lights, roof and trimmings.



I'll post another video next week as an update...
