Home Makers Haven

That was the theme for the Housewives Association Coffee Morning held on the 26^th of August 2005. Ruveena, Margi and I decided to go and have a look to see if we could pick up a few pointers from them.

There were quite a large number of stalls. Loads of time was given for shopping. This had a good and bad aspect to it. On the one hand, those who wanted to shop, did so to their hearts content, and I’m sure it warmed the cockles of the hearts of the stall holders as well! On the other hand however, those who had a leisurely browse through and finished, found themselves feeling quite bored.

Sensations, was a dance troupe with a difference. It was the first time I had seen them perform…. They were absolutely sensational alright.

Kevin and his partner performed three dance spots. Kevin was great but his partner lacks that sparkle so essential for a performer I felt.

There was a jewellery fashion show with top models showing off jewellery from a popular gold store.

There were a couple of skits by certain regions or sections of the HWA. Those I’m afraid I found rather boring and childish.

Keerthi Pasqual and his soothing voice wooed the audience for a good while. And then they had a few prizes on the raffles and entrance and that was the end of the show.

The coffee morning was held at the Continental Hotel and the hotel served the most delicious coffee, though the mistake of getting the people to go to the garnet room to collect it was horrid. There was a rush and stampede with everyone rushing to get at their food and drink which was served at lunch time! That is definitely NOT something that aught to be done at our coffee morning.
