Weekend Away - August 2014

When:  15 - 17 August 2014

Where:  Struisbaai

Cost:    Grocery bill

Patrons Present:  Janine, Nadine, Lucy, Ana-Rita, Carol, Linda, Fiona and Amie.

Organised by:  Carol

For August KKC we decided to have a lovely girl's-only weekend away with the idea to chill and relax.  Linda organised that we stay at her brother's holiday home in Struisbaai.  Friday night was out of this world with soup, wine, cocktails and desserts for supper.  Fiona introduced us to a new game called 5 Crowns. 

On Saturday after rusks and coffee for breakfast, we explored Struisbaai's shopping mall (hee hee) and then we went to the Lighthouse at Cape Agulhas which is the southernmost point of Africa.  We also walked to the marker which indicates the official dividing line between the Atlantic and Indian oceans. 

After lunch in Cape Agulhas, Linda drove us home so that some of us could have an afternoon nap while Janine, Linda and Amie went to look at the ship wreck and take some photos.  Linda made us a Lamb Slowpot with vegetables for supper and we had mini milk tarts dessert.  Later while snacking on cheese, biscuits and cocktails, some of us played 5 Crowns again as well as Yunomi where we learnt that Nadine's favourite shoes are her slippers (Not).

Sunday morning brunch we had croissants and rolls with cheese, jam, cold meats etc. and relaxed and read outside on the stoep.  At midday we packed and cleaned up and took a leisurely drive back to Cape Town.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to Andre for the use of his holiday home and to Fiona, Amie and Linda for chauffeuring us safely to and from Struisbaai.  Definitely a weekend which we will all remember...

Fun ways to simplify your life by James Smal & Claire van Zyl

We learnt many new tips on how to approach de-cluttering as well as time saving tips e.g. where to put your keys in order that you never waste time looking for them.  We now have a useful tool to prioritise our To Do List and ensure we focus on eating the Frogs before reviewing our C and D lists.

We Shared some delicious snacks and wine and then some more wine.  The afternoon was most informative and enjoyed by all.  Thanks to James Smal from SORTED (james@sorted.za.net) and Claire van Zyl from Visionary Life Services (Claire@visionarylife.co.za) for presenting the workshop.
