Spring is in the air and while the Gaslight garden (pictured) is definitely a work in progress it's lovely to see the cheerful splashes of colour around the town. We will be posting information soon about Burra's Open Garden weekend (31 October/1 November) when many of Burra's beautiful gardens will be open to the public.
October is Small Business Month and Bob and Jill were happy to accept an invitation to its launch at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide. Speakers at the breakfast launch included the Minister for Small Business, Paul Holloway and inspirational gold medal para Olympian Katrina Webb. A great event, but the 7am start was a little challenging!
Our new display of children's books contains many old favourites, including Biggles, the Abbey girls, Amelia Jane and Robin Hood. It features authors such as Mary Grant Bruce, Enid Blyton, Mark Twain, Captain W. E. Johns and Elsie Oxenham. Come in and take a trip down memory lane!
This is a photo taken while Helen was still in her 50's - just 9 hours before midnight strikes and she officially becomes "old"!! Happy birthday Helen from all your friends at Gaslight (and Oggy). Have a wonderful 60th birthday tomorrow.
As the last Saturday in September approaches there are serious football discussions taking place at Gaslight. Bob (pictured) is making no secret about who he is supporting and was happy to share his superior footy knowledge with Cyril and Len.
