We met up at Greens for some time out and great cocktails, food and conversation.  Was great for everyone to catch-up.  Thank you very much to Fiona for making the evening extra special with the arrangement of flowers you had displayed on the table and this was for each girl at the table with a personalised message.  We were really made to feel extra special.

The Art of Bonsai - April 2015

What:   Learning about Bonsai Plants

When:  11 April 2015

Where:  Fiona's House

Cost:    R120

Patrons Present:   Nadine, Lucy, Ana-Rita, Carol, Fiona, Amie, Clarissa, Linda, Chrystina and Hannah, Linda (Friend of Michelle), Michelle

Organised by:  Fiona

Chris started the event with a lesson on Bonsai, how it was started, how to care for your bonsai, what to feed it and how to maintain it.

Thereafter each participant got to choose a tree.  The idea was to look at your tree and draw what you wanted it to look like.  Once this process was completed, each participant then went ahead and trimmed their trees and wired the branches to start forming the direction it is meant to grow into.

Chris assisted where he could, but due to so many participants, could not get to everyone.  But as usual, people helped each other and gave ideas.

Once the trees were trimmed and shaped, the potting followed.

In all, it seems the event was a success. Hopefully all the trees will survive.  Chris said he will help should anyone need advice and assistance.

After going backwards and forwards with plans here and there, an afternoon of cocktails at Maestros was decided upon, with sea and mountain views, frolicking children, playful dogs, kite surfers and even a Jack Parow look-a-like (not pretty), downing tequilas like a rockstar.  Lucy - the hard core mom that she is, joined us after spending time with her newly born princess in hospital.  It was a stress-free, easy going afternoon, with general banter along with the very important cocktails and snacks.  Always good to be with my girls!!!

Some of the girls had their faces painted.  There were also some that had a cat nap (or bergie lol nap) on the park bench.  Afterwards Lucy, Rita and Janine went for ice-cream at the market across the road.
