* FOR the weary wayfarer, Granny Mouse’s Country House is an enchanting escape from this workaday world. And when I was offered the chance to be transported there, to be wined and dined, it was an offer I could not refuse. The occasion was the launch of a new ranges of fabrics by local designers with Wayfarer them in gentle country pastels. The venue for the launch was inspired. Curtains, table cloths and backdrops for fresh blossoms blended in with Granny Mouse Country House scene perfectly. And for the Press party, the introduction to the place was heaven sent.

This obviously annoyed certain residents in Sanlam Park who threw bottled and glasses down onto the street.
* TWINI netball ended the season on top (of a mountain that is) but this seemed like tougher opposition than New Germany! Twini took “time out” on the weekend to rest at the Berg. They thought they try their hands at bowls but found themselves looking forward to the next netball season, except for Guilia Moro who managed to annihilate the opposition each time they became too confident –( a metre away from the jack) it was a well-deserved rest for the players who have devoted many of their Saturdays to netball.
