Beachside Bugle Brought to you monthly by Cathy and her team at your local cafe
Chrissie’s book reaches the shelves For those of you who have been with the Café since our early days, you’ll remember the wonderful Chrissie Paice who worked here mid-week a few years ago. Her infectious laughter and wit made her a great favourite with our regulars and an engaging person to share a kitchen with. But her real work was always her writing, firstly poetry and then books. In 2009 the poem she wrote about the death of another Café colleague, Kath Effield, won her Australia’s most prestigious poetry prize. And then found success with The Great Rock Whale. In a real labour of love, for the past three years she has been working full-time on a novel that had its genesis twenty years ago.
Details: You are invited to the launch of Chrissie’s book by William Verity on Friday 13 June, Kiama Library, 7 for 7.30pm.
According to her publisher, Allen & Unwin, “The Word Ghost is a funny, moving story about what it means to find love, lose love and discover who you are when you live in a village with no street lights and a decidedly dark side.”
RSVP for catering purposes by 11 June to 4233 1133
As they say in the classics, now available at all good bookshops!
Winter trading hours It was getting a bit too dark down at the Harbour at 6pm, so the Kiama Farmers’ Market has brought things forward an hour, and is now operating from 2-5pm over winter. If you haven’t made it down there yet, make sure you do soon. There is such a good community atmosphere and an ever increasing variety of fruit and vegetables and quality prepared food on hand. The Café has a stall down there as often as we can fit it in, depending on our catering commitments. Our cakes and take-home meals have attracted a strong following. Details: Every Wednesday, Kiama Harbour, 2-5pm www.facebook.com/kiamafarmersmarket
