My last post (woe was me) was an unmitigated flop. I knew I did include some details of more important facets of my life, but honestly, a thousand pardons for boring you all to tears...
Plus, Jodie Edom Nolf (Photographer to the Stars) and proprietor of the Vincent Street Emporium has provided me with some excellent images of our Saturday Night Soiree, along with my latest photos taken during these early days of March. And I have sputtered into action once more today, with wonderful encouragement from Beverley artists Mandy Evans and Kelly Duncan, assisting me with that awful and confusing entity named Social Media, as well as receiving information regarding the proposed establishment of a Sculpture Park, directly across the road from Station House. We were a tad surprised to be informed about this endeavour indirectly.
Anyway, onwards and upwards with the fabulous content of this post. We thoroughly enjoyed a rather unusual first Sundowner of 2025. Regular "Mick and the Sundowners" guitarist Lawrence Jones was strangely absent from the action, preferring to sit out the back in Michael's Studio with the man himself. Michael and Lawrence have been close friends since high school, but only were re-united after absence thanks to that other stalwart of East End Gallery Sundowners, Mister Guy Slingerland.
We didn't have many guests as such, but our musicians didn't miss a beat. They rocked on until fairly late in the evening. I am sad to say I had abandoned the Good Ship East End Gallery shortly after nine o'clock, but was fully aware of Michael coming to bed around two o'clock in the morning. He apparently rang Mister Geoff Newby-Butt for a chat just before that particular witching hour. Michael had absolutely no memory of this call until today!
We were thrilled to see Di and Steve Mainwaring, along with Border Collie Brynn, at lunch on Sunday. Di, an incredibly versatile and talented artisan present me with a trio of the "Rustling Farm Animals" - Cora Cow, Sheila Sheep and Peggy Pig. More gems to join the East End Gallery!
We are gradually enjoying a cooling trend now that autumn has arrived. Not that we are experiencing that today or tomorrow, with scorching temperatures still around...sigh
Right, that's enough whinging. Within another month or so, we will be lamenting the arrival of rain or wind or cold and we will cope with enthusiasm and gusto. So sit back, relax and enjoy the latest images from the East End Gallery and the March Sundowner.
PS don't forget to attend a "Welding for Art" Day with Michael. Bookings essential, morning tea provided. Fifty dollars per hour for 1:1 or forty dollars each per hour for 2:1. We can negotiate for low income participants.
Or just turn your vehicle in an easterly directly and come see us in Heavenly Beverley for a day, a weekend or an extended stay!
