Songs and stories of Love and Lust

We are incredibly lucky to have contemporary folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kristina Olsen coming to the Jonathan Art centre to sing and play her amazing folk/rock music on Valentines Day February 14th.

She is known for her sometimes humorous, heartfelt and sometimes ribald songs. If you haven’t heard any of her songs here’s a link to a selection on You Tube https://youtu.be/GsBM43pQLHo

We will be selling a valentine special at the bar - champagne, chocolates and a rose for the girls.

We saw Kristina play in England a few years ago and were blown away by her performance. We know you will love her.

Tickets are just $30 each, strictly limited and available online at www.trybooking.com/KETW

The magical mystery comedy tour comes for lunch.

One of the best 'shows' of the Adelaide Fringe has to be the magical mystery comedy tour. You basically get on a bus in the city along with a collection of Scottish comics and get taken to a selection of mystery locations around the hills.

At each venue one of the comedians entertains you while you enjoy a glass or two of wine. Or as they did when the got to us, enjoy a lunch, a glass or two of wine, a coffee and a even a cake or two for the journey.

Our 50 guests were all lovely, very appreciate and a pleasure to host. The comedian we saw was hilarious. All in all a good time was had by all.

Would be great to see them again next year if they are passing.

Anything that looks and tastes as good as this does just shouldn't be good for you - but it is!

Our Gallery Cafe compote with vanilla yogurt and home made muesli is just one of the starters on our new breakfast menu. To see how else we can help you eat healty-ish go to jac.net.au/cafe.

I just wanted to say thank-you for such an enjoyable day. I also wanted to apologise for staying so late - we didn't realise the time! I hope we didn't overstay our welcome for too long...

I will definitely be trying to attend another class - the setting, the food, the instruction and the company were all perfect! Stacey and I both have quite demanding jobs and it was good to take a day out for ourselves.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Happy birthday Jenny. Jenny's friend Debbie treated her to an art day last week. Apart from enjoying lunch on the deck they also created two beautiful paintings inspired by their recent French holiday. Oo la la!

Sold to the lady with the hat!
We also held our Charity art auction last Sunday. All of Jane Robertson's beautiful ceramics were sold as well as paintings by Nicky Courtman, Cathy Hull and Liz Hirstle. Together with donations and auctioning the delicious scones cooked by our neighbour Marg McLean, we raised the grand sum of $778.80 for the Palliative Care Unit in Mount Barker. Thank you so much to those came and bought or donated.
