The story so far
Since I last posted EDWI has held two meetings.
The first was on fashion. Michelle Williams of pinkgreen personal shopping and fashion consultancy talking about her work and how she started, and giving advice on how to wear current and upcoming accessories, and dressing for your body type. Sadly I had to miss this one, due to my holidays, so there'll only be a more detailed report if I can persuade someone to write one.
The September meeting was on wine-tasting, and was presented by Julie Lawrence of
Partners in Wine She introduced us to four different wines and how to taste them and understand more about them. My personal favourite was the Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc from new Zealand.
After the holidays
I'm sorry it went a bit quiet over the summer holidays. I'm back now and ready to bring the blog up to date. Unfortunately, for reasons best known to Blogger, this site has been identified as a potential spam-blog (!) so this post will only appear after they've satisifed themselves it is a legitimate site. For anyone who sent a message here while I was away, hopefully you found any answers you needed through the EDWI google group.
