The spouse of the Ambassador of Belgium to South Africa extended an invitation to a tea and coffee morning on the 15th May at their residence in Pretoria.
The Ambassador and his wife, Mr and Mrs Dierik had spent almost 5 years in Japan and grew to love the country and its people. They wanted to invite people with strong ties to Japan because of their great love of the country. Through the Japanese Embassy they were given recommendations of who to invite. The Japanese Embassy recommended Shihan Norman amongst others.
We spent a lovely morning meeting people from the Ikebana Society, members of the Japanese Consulate and The Ambassador and his lovely wife.
She is a very talented artist and displayed some beautiful paintings of Sumo Wrestlers which she herself had painted whilst in Japan.
