Another Tessa Meet

And it was at the same place!

This is still my personal favourite Spur and today they had PONY RIDES!!! Hint to anyone needing money - pitch at Spur with a PONY - its a CASH COW!!!

Nash, Colleen, Clair, Shuia and obviously Tess were there and it was such a nice meet. The weather was STUNNING, bit hot but really lovely!

While Claires Connor is a little bit wild he makes up for it by being the most gorgeous baby ever!!!!!! And Ash is just the cutest thing!

Jazzy has found her boy and Cameron loved the attention. Zac was a little elusive - but I think he did have a nice time! Luka Lu is just the CUTEST little munchkin man and his little voice - I could listen to him all day! Oh and was nice seeing T too!!!




This pic was taken by either Ashleigh or Cameron.

Bamboos

WOW WOW WOW is all I can say about Bamboos in Irene.

Its where we had our 2nd official meet and this venue is simple stunning! The service was AMAZING! Definately the best I have had at a BN meet in years! The OFFERED to do a seperate bill, our food arrived together and quickly.

The play area is secure and has more than enough to keep the kids occupied!

Karin, Colleen, Schae, Thembi, Natasha, Shani and Heidi all made an appearance and it was a nice small meet so we all got to chat and catch up.

Heidi is looking really great and Kaylin is beautiful. Shanis little man is perfect and seems so calm - to the outside world that is. Tyla is getting so BIG and has the most beautiful set of curls!!! Kammi is Kammi and was the best dressed on the playground - heels and all and was sharing her stories with whoever would listen. I got told about her mom having a baby and how her dad rides horses (real ones dont you know). Katja has also grown since I last saw her and is such an independant happy little being. Thembis little princess is just too cute.

The only downfall of this venue was the DINOSAUR - again these money eating things have no place at these venues!

I will definately be going back here again!! Thanks for the suggestion Karin!

Tessas Visit

Tessa and her family were holidaying in JHB so we held a mini meet at the Spur in Broadacres.

It was a small meet, Tessa, Marlise, Jeanette and myself! We all had such a lovely time and it was great to see my friend again.

This Spur has to have the best play area - the mammoth size jumping castle is a winner!! Only irratation is the aeroplane, train and tattoo machines that DEMAND money before they work or dispense the goods!

The service at Spur is pretty standard so there really isnt much to comment on there - we were helped and received our food on time and together as we ordered it.

Lemon Rose

The first BN meeting of 2008 was held at Lemon Rose Tea Garden in Randburg. It was a small meet - mainly because the weather was miserable but it was loads of fun and I think so far was the longest one we have had!

Jeanette, Navasha,Tanya,Nicci, Madi, Marlise and I were all there and Louise briefly popped in.

The venue was a last minute decision - Tres Jolie - our first choice has not re-opened. While Lemon Rose is a beautiful venue their service has left a lot to be desired in past encounters, but they did surprise us and the waitress who helped us was friendly and pretty efficient. Lemon Rose is still one of the few places that is fairly reasonable and depending how long you sit and how much wine you drink you could probably get away with R100 (thats for me and 2 kids) which really isnt that bad!

Despite the mud and miserable weather the kids had a lovely time and we all got to chat while the wine flowed!

So much so that we all moved to Marlises house when it came closer to closing time. Needless to say the wine kept flowing and the kids kept playing!!

All in all it was a GREAT meet and GREAT way to start the year.
