Muizenberg, Cape Town : The flames of warmth

Hi all, this is a photo from an outing last night, this is how we keep warm in Cape Town as nothing else seems to work outside - lol. There were a few people irratated with me as I got them to move away while I took the picture.

Out of interest, it is raining again - aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh I miss summer!!!!

Cheers from a cold and rainy Cape Town.
