Tunbridge Wells hens (and a few Sevenoaks) enjoyed festive food at the 'aspirational' boutique hotel, The Brew House last night. Seventeen of us (the table was endlessly long) were were bathed in pink lighting as we sipped Champange. The staff tried to deliver the food we had pre-ordered five days ago but for some unfathamoble reason lists and desires didn't quite match. However, the food when it did arrive was good. Two wore the same dress (Phase 8 25% off dresses) and I was grateful I'd left mine in the wardrobe. We caught up, came up with some great ideas as to how the world would work better and discussed festive plans - travel winning over traditional pursuits. Next meeting 13 January we Rediscover our Sparkle!
I’ve noticed that women tend to want more from life as they get older – not less! They are no longer content with their lot and want to try new things. More and more women in their forties/fifties and beyond are setting up their own businesses;
some feel liberated when the kids get older and want to rejuvenate their social lives; others decide it’s ‘me time’ and decide to do something extraordinary.
One thing I’m sure of, when a group of like-minded women get together for a special event or even just a glass of wine there’s a lot of fun to be had, a special camaraderie filling the air, and an understanding and mutual support that’s hard to find anywhere else.
That’s why I started hens dancing.
