TIMEOUT - Previous Outings |

DELVERA VILLAGE
Stellenbosch-Paarl area
28th January '10 |
You need a day to
enjoy the full DelVera experience, and it’s
a place offering a little something for
everyone in the Stellenbosch winelands. |

The first trip of a New Year is always eagerly
anticipated. Delvera was the perfect
place to spend some time together. On arrival
some of the ladies went to Mamma Joan @ The
Little Woolshop for coffee/scones.
Good to have time to sit and relax with a good
friend - Cheryl and Colleen 'catch up'.
After coffee, the ladies went shopping at the
intriguing Hands On shop. "Here we go
again" - "Carol why do you always make us
spend so much on these trips"? |

The colors on this are so ME - I just
love it! - Theresa says. Marie
just HAD to have another bracelet - (she
said Heather MADE her buy it). DelVera
is an ideal place to spend time in the
country. The property is leased by
many small businesses. There is a wine
tasting business - The Vineyard
Connection; Chrisna's Olives
where you can watch olives being prepared;
Delilah a fashion boutique with
lovely outfits; Johan Swart Ceramics
where you can stand and watch the master at
work; There is even a nursery which
specializes in indigenous plants. (The
Klapmuts Conservation Nursery) |

Magdaleen and Joan relax in the wonderful shade
at Delvera. "Hey look up there Ann" says
Hilda! The gardens are very lush and this
was appreciated when the day time temperature
was in the early 30's! As you stepped out
of the dense shade, you could immediately feel
the intense heat! |
|
The picnic baskets were hand delivered to us at
12h30- a basket to share among four ladies!
They were so full of food that everyone took
items home!
Quiches, Chicken and
rocket salad; potato salad to feed an army;
snoek pate; cold meats, cheeses; Crackers;
Freshly baked Ciabatta; Fresh fruit salad; and
Divine chocolate brownies.
"Wow we ate so much and we still
have doggy bags to take home with us as well"
says Heather. Time Out is a good way to catch up
and chat - and what better time to do this than
over lunch. |

Di, Margot, Gill and Trixie were keen to be
photographed - "Hey girls life is good".
Trish is always ready to smile. The Time
Out days make for happy times with friends,
sharing a good laugh and wonderful
companionship. |

cheerful friend is like a sunny day spreading
brightness all around |
