| Beehive Corner, Adelaide CBD |
The Beehive Corner building has been a prominent building since it was built in 1896. It is on the corner of King William Street and Rundle Mall and has been an icon of the CBD and has been a meeting place for shoppers in Adelaide. When I was little my mother and I used to meet my grandparents on the Beehive Corner before going for lunch and shopping in the city. In the 1950's when I was a child, the building was a chocolate and sweets shop and was very popular and I remember my grandfather taking me there and he let me choose a few special treats. I am not sure how it got the name but possibly because there is an architectural beehive construction on the top corner of the building. The building is quite a landmark with its Gothic Revival architecture. Apparently the building has undergone a number of renovations but to me it still looks similar to my memories of a great day out in Adelaide.

| Jaguars on display |
Our Jaguar car club had the annual car display but unfortunately it was a wet day so attendance was down but there were still a good number of Jags to enjoy. |

We had another day out to a vintage car rally in a small town near Adelaide and saw some lovely old cars. The rally had the vintage cars driving around the original track in th country town. As you might have noticed my OH loves old cars so we take a few photos.
And here is some of my art that I painted this month. I paint birthday cards for the residents of the village for their birthdays. I enjoy painting the smaller pictures and I don't feel under any pressure to get them done as we all have a list of the birthdays so if I have time I often paint them in advance and I have received some lovely comments from those that appreciate the artwork. Some people don't seem to realise they are hand painted but one lady said she spilt a glass of water on her card and realised it was painted as it almost disappeared!
That was my busy October!
It will be interesting what November brings - Xmas shopping, advertising and probably busy with Xmas events before Xmas Day.
