Grade 1 Walk and Coffee

Nature Walk

As Class Mother of Grade 1 I have to organise events allowing the mothers in the class to meet up and interact. If you know me by now, I like to complicate my life. Instead of doing the usual lunches or coffee mornings like most other Reps, I try to do organise something different each time - more to keep me from boring myself than anything else.

Last Friday, I decided to do a Walk and Coffee Morning. Spring mornings are great for a spot of brisk walking, as it is warm and yet not too hot. A few mothers kindly baked or bought a few sweet and savoury items for coffee and to make us feel less guilty about consuming them, we started out with a nature walk in Montale (Pavarotti's village where the school is).

Buns!

We had a good walk. The sun stayed away on the first part of our walk and we were able to socialise in small groups. Then we had coffee in LP's garden next to her pool with its tempting clear blue water (no, we didn't dive in). PB made us a yummy apple crumble, CA brought us a strudel straight from the mountains and MB baked us a really rich and moist chocolate cake. And the new mom BL made us some steamed meat buns - which reminds me that I should go learn how to make mantous from her when I could find a minute. I'm only a housewife but boy, is my agenda packed.

Apple crumble

Such a lovely day. I must say (again) that I've a really nice bunch of moms in my girl's class.
