MYSTERY SOCIAL BUS TRIP – March 12th 2011 |
Organised by Dulcie Artus and Jenny Brogden
Saturday 12 th dawned a beautiful Autumn day and a group of 39 (members and some friends) left Tauranga at 8am for a social day's bus outing. We headed south and the first “port of call” was Whakatane Heads park where we stopped for morning tea. We then travelled to Scilla Chocolates in Ohope where most of us bought some of the beautiful chocolates, hand made on the premises - which were immediately confiscated to a waiting chilly bin. We truly didn't eat them and brought them home. Really! 
We then skirted the Ohiwa harbour with beautiful vistas of shades of blue in water and sky, to have lunch in the 4 hectare garden of Carol and Bob Gee. The shared lunch was fantastic with such a wide mixture of dishes and the dessert table groaned with more chocolates and other delectable goodies. A walk round the extensive garden was called for, to balance out the calories.
The next stop was to Barbara and Alan Rogers' garden to see the bromeliads and the weaving, then on to Fiona Gedson's studio both venues in Waiotahi. Fiona creates the most beautiful, detailed, painstaking work using feathers and wire and has a Website if you want to see what she does http://www.fionagedson.com
The last stop was the Cheddar Valley Pottery, where we wandered round the pottery admiring the finished articles and watched a demonstration of throwing on the wheel. We had afternoon tea there under the trees in the garden and arrived back on schedule at 5.30pm – mission accomplished, a great day shared by members and friends.
