Trade Aid shopping evening was fun and informative. We learnt how Trade Aid is all about change, and is touching thousands of lives around the world. Trade Aid helps artisans from developing countries improve their living standards, by giving them a fair pay, proving ongoing trainings, creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers, no discrimination and much more. After an interesting talk we went on with our shopping baskets and any of us ticked many items off our Xmas shopping list. A wonderful experience and a feeling of gratitude, knowing who made the products we are buying and how the profits are going for a good cause. Thanks you team Trade Aid for making it all speci
The weather couldn't have been better for the day. The sunshine and cool breeze made this event so perfect! The tour started at Lian's beautiful garden that was turned into a mini bazar, with awesome small businesses selling their products and crafts. Many of us ticked many items off our Christmas shopping list! Then to Deirdre's pool garden and wonderful plants. What an amazing rhubarb patch. Next we all headed to Paula's place. Our time there eventually turned into a historic tour about that magical property from the eighteen-hundreds. We visited the wine seller, saw the mini waterfall, banana trees and her epic veggie pod. Finally, we ended the tour with lunch and coffee at Mina's place -
Cooking together is always fun. As we WINGS ladies know that the joy of learning new recipes and exploring food from different parts of the globe can be so exciting. This time it was Vegan recipes and the menu designed by our host Mina, who kindly opened up her kitchen for 13 ladies. The menu was selected carefully, in a way where all those dished could also be made into a non-veg or a vegetarian recipe. We were very efficient in terms of time and get everything ready and nicely arranged on the table. Mind you all that delicious food made us so hungry. Wonderful company with old and new friends, delicious food and a great host with the warmest heart and that million dollar smile.. Thank you
Oh My Gosh, what a quiz night it was! And the winning group gets a pumpkin pie. Who wouldn't compete fiercely for that! So the Quiz was about American and Canadian Thanksgiving. With a number of question designed by Leslie and Gina, the American Version and the Canadian version designed by Liane and Robyn. The questions got us all thinking hard. We ended the evening with some amazing Thanksgiving food and yes we also had THE Turkey. YUM!
