BENEDICT HOUSE NEWSLETTER



Afternoon all,

Hope you are basking in the warming sun and watching the buds open. What is the verdict on pruning roses? End of August or end of September?

We have lots of new beads and findings.
Do you all know how to use…. And crimp covers have plenty in stock so ask the staff.

The magnetic clasps are on the boat from China- a slow boat that is.

FASHION PARADE - Sunday 28th October
Frugal fashions – spring/summer parade is on 25th October. Interesting group of designers who are considering where and how their product is imprints on the environment. Bookings are essential and numbers limited – so call to secure a ticket.


NEW ‘STORIES + SONGS + SCONES’
Stories, songs and scones next Sunday – this is my most favourite day at Benedict House. Don’t know how the scones will be but listening to musicians – young and old- and hearing the extraordinary stories of ordinary people – sharing a wine – is so exciting for me. You may find this event replicated at another café in Queanbeyan in the near future- our High Teas and fresh produce markets have been replicated so I expect the music afternoons and fashion parades will be next. Shall wait to see.


HIGH TEA in The Refectory

Take time out, meet up with friends for with traditional food, served with traditional style. Four savoury foods, three sweets, glass of sparkling, tablecloths and tiered plates - $25 per person 3pm-5pm Bookings essential – 6284 2868



FRESH PRODUCE in season fruit and veg from region will held every Saturday & Sunday + bread, olive oils, Lindsay & Edmund’s Chocolate and our preserves - reducing the ‘food miles’


CHRISTMAS LUNCH BOOKINGS
Main course, sweets and coffee $25 pp Bookings - Kate 62842868



My old husband, dear dear. He is in despair. The TV is off, the radio alarm switched off so we cannot hear any cricket scores. I have not learnt the art of helping one grieve over cricket bat ashes yet – surely there is something on the internet or twitter support group.


Been to a lot of serious, thought provoking movies lately- my old brain does not want to be provoked all the time. I am looking forward to seeing the ’September Issue’ for some light entertainment.


Being one of eight siblings, my family are scattered over the world so I don’t see them all that often. My mother- who taught me many crafts – and my sister will visit in September- they will be in café and I am very excited, so come and meet them.


My studio has been moved upstairs – a good move I feel. Workshops are now held in that room. Take a look and see the lovely table we now have to sit around. It comes from the home of our new neighbours in Isabella Street –Pauline, John and their son James. We welcome them to Isabella Street and now become the caretakers of the table.


Work available – some of the stall holders at Epic Regional markets are looking for young people to help sell their produce from 7am- 11.30. Healthy, hearty, amongst clean farm produce – great for student income. Contact Kate for further info- 62842868

Casual work in the café in December may be needed – enquires Kate 62842868


Take care,
Kate
