TIMEOUT - Previous Outings |
|
FRANSCHHOEK
2000 - Inaugural
Outing
Three Streams Trout Farm
Grapevine Restaurant
Thursday 3rd August 2000 |
|
Once upon a
time....Just
kidding, but this is where it all
started.
My sincere thanks to all the "first timer"
members and guests who came along on this
inaugural outing.
A real pity about the light drizzle
at The Three Streams Trout Farm,
but you all coped fantastically. |

The Chocolate Shop will never
be the same again, after all the "sweet
toothed" Time-Out ladies descended on it. |

Mathew
Gordon proved that cooking can be made
easy. His final smoked trout dish was to die
for.
Lunch at the Grapevine Restaurant
proved to be a good time to get to know each
other. Everyone enjoyed the shopping afterwards
(of course). Whilst talking of shopping, when
the coach stopped at Pippin on the
way out of Franschhoek, I have never seen so
many anxious ladies wanting to buy trout and
other home-made goodies. This is definitely
going to be an important part of future outings. |

Our transport
supplier today was Springbok
Atlas.
Following the outing I received many
phone calls and emails about the day;
even a fax with a poem. These are all
very special to me and are already in my
scrapbook for future reminiscing.
Some of the comments:
"Great to get out and relax, doing
things that women like to do"
"It was real soul food". "The day was a
ball, please can we do it again soon".
"Time Out, Time Out again & again, we
implore".
"A woman needs time-out because her
sole needs special nurturing in a
stressful lifestyle, and TIME-OUT would
be an excellent way of achieving this"

Thank you all for a great
response to this, our inaugural outing.
I was a bit apprehensive about sharing
the things I enjoy,
but now I know what all women
enjoy:
We all enjoy getting out, meeting
people, making new friends
and of course,
shopping!
