Bookclub

The ladies of Aberdeen Book Club have had a busy start to the year. Last Friday ten of the members met at the Polka restaurant in Graaff-Reinet for a belated Christmas lunch, which was greatly enjoyed by all. Fortunately the ladies were given a private room, as the noise levels rose considerably during the course of the lunch! Many took the opportunity after for some shopping in Graaff-Reinet, then returned home, glad not to have to cook supper for themselves that evening.

This Tuesday was the first meeting of the year, held at the home of Sharon Landman. New books were discussed, with the members agreeing to differ over one of the most controversial books of 2012, Fifty Shades of Gray! Two sisters who are members of the group, Tanya van der Merwe and Theresa van der Merwe, both gave birth to their first child at the end of September, and there was much competition from the ladies to hold the little ones. Most are of the age where they no longer feel broody for themselves, but would love to have more grandchildren!

The next meeting will be held in February at Tanya and Albert van der Merwe's farm, a visit which is always eagerly anticipated.
