Trudie Swanepoel het grootgeword op Despatch, later die w\u00eareld gaan verken en teruggekeer. Maar of sy haarself plaaslik of in die buiteland bevind, haar kreatiwiteit ken geen perke nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudie se veelkleurige werksgeskiedenis weerspie\u00ebl haar kundigheid, kunstigheid en nimmereindigende skeppingsdrif. Van jeugwerker, ontvangsdame by \u2019n radiostasie en verkoopsdame, tot onderwyseres, bakster, naaldwerkster en besigheidsvrou, is dit duidelik dat Trudie se hande vir niks verkeerd staan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir haar is kreatiewe vryheid \u2019n voorvereiste in alles wat sy aanpak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs ek eers opstaan en die lus is daar vir wat ek ookal daardie dag wil doen, kan ek berge versit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haar kreatiewe denke, liefde vir skep en nuwe projekte van stapel stuur kom uit haar kleintyd uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het altyd konserte in die huis gehou met die hele straat se kinders. My ma vertel hoe ons my oupa mal gemaak het oor Kersfees as ons daar gekuier het, want daar moes tot engelvlerke met glitter gemaak word. Die hele plek het later geglinster!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tot vandag toe het Trudie se w\u00eareld nie sy glans verloor nie. Sy is baie lief vir onthaal en doen dit in haar unieke styl. Alles word haarfyn beplan: van die kleinste detail wat deel uitmaak van die gedekte tafel tot die kosse wat opgetower word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bakgogga byt<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit was in Engeland dat die bakgogga Trudie ordentlik gebyt het. Dit het alles begin toe sy \u2018n koekversieringsklas bygewoon het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaarna het ek begin om oor naweke klasse aan te bied en het vir mense begin bak. Toe ek en my man terugtrek Suid-Afrika toe is my besigheid, The Sugar Fairy, in Despatch gebore. Ek het vir \u2018n lang ruk gebak en klas gegee.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Om na byna nege jaar in die buiteland terug te keer na haar geboortedorp, was aanvanklik nie maklik nie. \u201cMaar ons is hartlik verwelkom deur Despatch se Dagbreekgemeente, waar ons lewenslange vriende gemaak het. Dit is by die Vrouebediening waar ek ook \u2018n kreatiewe uitlaatklep gevind het vir al my honderde idees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespatch is \u2018n wonderlike dorpie om in te bly. Dit is \u2018n plek vol plattelandse hartlikheid: mense praat orals met mekaar, in die woonbuurte en in die winkels. Selfs al ken hul mekaar nie altyd nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Langs Trudie se kombuis en spens is haar kunsvlytkamer. Dit is hier waar haar skeppende gees vlerke kry en projekte begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVan alles wat ek al gedoen het, geniet ek die klasse wat ek aanbied die meeste. Veral mosa\u00efek, klei en koekversiering. Min dinge laat my so lekker voel as om iemand anders te help om op hulle voete te kom en nuwe vaardighede te leer wat hulle in die toekoms kan gebruik. In my hart is ek tog \u2018n onderwyseres.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudie mis wel die winkels in Londen met hul wye verskeidenheid en toe begin sy verlede jaar sommer met haar eie kostuumjuwele-besigheid, All about the Pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudie en haar man Fanie se toekomsdrome sluit wel weer \u2018n tuiste in die buiteland in. Maar vir nou is hulle gelukkig op Despatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
