PORCELAIN FROM HONG KONG

My cousin Tertia celebrated her 77th birthday in Jeffreys Bay recently.

I was a guest at the main table and was pleasantly surprised when the dinnerware her late mother, my aunt Hetta Marais, bought in British Hong Kong in the early 70's was set out on that specific table.

My uncle Frikkie, a Steynsburg farmer, bought it for his wife and had her initials emblazoned in gold on the plates.

EMILE AT GREY

I was privileged to be invited to join Emile for a formal ACADEMIC ACHIEVERS dinner at Grey where he was the guest speaker.

Mrs Carina Strydom, organiser, approached Emile
 in November last year already.

The BOOK!

Vintage wedding

Lance and Mireille had their vintage tea party at the PE Club and hired two sets of encyclopedias from V Verandah to grace the table settings.
