Another busy few days OUT of the East End Gallery. On Monday, we drove to the Northam Visitors Centre to collect "About Time" after its trip to the Dalwallinu Arts Festival. We also visited Simply Spectacles for my eye test and to choose some new frames that will be gentler on my nose if I ever decide to face plant on the brick paving again...Dog log, kibble and treats were purchased from our Northam Vet Centre on the Goomalling Road, Bunnings provided Michael with a few essential items, the pharmacy for a prescription and more vino completed our Big Day Out. Tuesday was fortunately designated a Slob Day. Yesterday was a visit to the Delicious Doctor Daram for a skin check and the usual removal of a suspected SCC. We also exchanged photos of divine little people (Daram's kiddies and our grandies) and booked my next Cut and Paste for March. After experiencing Snail's Pace on the freeway due to a crash, we gratefully paused at Callum and Bron's happy home for a restorative afternoon tea. We arrived back at Station House just before seven-thirty last evening...Whew...
Being Thursday, we were IN the East End Gallery once more. This morning was reasonably uneventful at Station House. The morning Rush Hour of feeding a puppy, dog and cat and cleaning up last night's detritus (all outside - YAY), followed by muddy footprints across my clean floor due to energetic play ended in a morning snooze for our canine clowns. Mister Chop did receive a Rude Shock when I stripped our bed - woken from a resplendent sleep on my pillow. Sorry Chop, them's the breaks...
We are gearing up to our next Famous Sundowner. this Saturday 23 September. Yep - in two days. The Sausage Sizzle is most definitely IN and will commence at 5pm. BYO own sausages if desired. Offerings are never refused at the East End Gallery. Coffee, tea and cake will be the order of the day prior to the Blast Off of the Sausage Sizzle.
- You all know the drill -The Gallery will open at 11am (ish). Refreshments will be offered for a gold coin donation. As the Red Vault is closed for renovations, we will be happy to provide help-yourself tea and coffee all long weekend
- The Sausage Sizzle will kick off at 5pm
- Please bring a plate and beverage to share
- East End Gallery Musos - you know who you are and we look forward to welcoming you back for another fabulous Saturday Night Session
- Dressing up (or down) is encouraged - remember it's officially Spring now!
- The fire looks like an essential requirement
- All welcome, including our doggy friends, if they can vouch for their parents being on their best behaviour...
The East End Gallery is looking absolutely beautiful and interesting and edgy and quirky. New artists and new works are tumbling in all the time. We have gift ideas galore, whether a last-minute search for Fathers' Day or that Special Somebody's anniversary or birthday or being uber-organised for the Festive Season.
Why not stay for the entire Long Weekend? Beverley has entered another enchanting wildflower season. Now is the perfect weather for a walk through the bush, an unexpected delight of our Beach in the Wheatbelt (Yenyening Lakes), a scramble up our Pimple (Quajibin/County Peak), heading sky-high in a glider, enjoying a contemplative view of our Heritage Walk or popping into Bec and Marion's Studio or Lucky Find or Kelly D's Studio and Artisan Space or the Station Gallery (do have a chat with Carolina, the current Artist-in-Residence and her enigmatic partner Steve) or Nex Dor or Mandy's Art Garden. The excellent Dead Finish museum will be open Sunday and the Visitors Centre will have volunteers on Saturday. Come and see me for Tourism Information at other times!
I can't guarantee either of the Treasures emporiums will be open but I can promise that both the pubs will tempt us all with yummy treats this weekend! Our Bakery will be open until mid afternoon on Saturday.
Accommodation? For those in caravans or RVs, we boast the Beverley Caravan Park, located conveniently in the centre of town behind the Shire Office and a free RV friendly park. Camping is also permitted at Yenyening Lakes - limited facilities are provided. For anybody without a van, we offer the Beverley B&B, the Caravan Park Cabins, the Shed (talk to me) or check online.
Today has been another busy day in the East End Gallery. We welcomed ceramicist Kelly Duncan and four of her wonderfully offbeat sculptures into our space. And we are thoroughly looking forward to as many shenanigans as possible for the whole long weekend.
So what are you all waiting for? Turn your vehicle of choice eastwards and visit Heavenly Beverley for all we have to showcase in our town. And don't forget to join us at Saturday night's Sundowner in the East End Gallery!
On Monday, we were in Northam...
