cheers!

We Galliott Studios ladies are pleased to announce that we're the proud owners of a brand shiny new liquor licence! We did a small dance when it arrived!

Here's a photo of a happy Jenn with Maisie, who is enjoying Galliott Studios first glass of wine along with some delicious cheese!



We now have a range of red and white wines and local Newfoundland beer. Why not come over and have a celebratory drink with us?

Cheers!

The Great Matt Hornell Poster Portrait Competition!

As many of you know, Matthew Hornell is playing a show here at Galliott Studios on Sunday. We thought we'd like to advertise with posters so we decided to get creative with a head to head poster battle! Here's a couple of photos of our new posters



Our posters include two pretty different portraits of Matt himself! The top poster was made by our master baker and general foodie extraordinaire Andrew. Turns out he's pretty nifty with a pen too. Jennifer also had a bash at it, with the bottom poster. Liv's got a sore wrist so no posters from her. Cop out!

So, whichever poster you prefer, the information's the same. Matt and his friend Pat will be playing a show here, at Galliott Studios. The fun will start at 8.30pm, but you're welcome to come along at 8.00 as per Andrew's poster! Tickets cost $10. Space is filling up fast, so if you're hoping to come along let us know! 1 709 453 2142

A Smack of Jellyfish!

Did you know that the collective noun for a group of jellyfish is a smack? We didn't, but we're glad we do now! It's our favourite fact of the day!

And here's our very own smack



They're a lot like the ones in the bay, just more fun!

The struggle

The Galliott Studios girls are in awe of our friends Andrew and Will. They got up early this morning and attempted the struggle on their bikes.

For those of you who aren't in the know, the struggle is a HUGE hill. It's enough of a hill that Liv thinks it deserves capitals. The Struggle. That's better. Anyway, today is a very hot and very windy day. Not the best for cycling. The boys were beaten by the wind, but we're sure they'll be at the top very soon.


We reckon that more tea might help them build up to the next attempt!

If you manage the struggle, come in for a celebratory cuppa. We'd love to hear about it!

We heart coffee!

Ever been to a coffee shop and had a fancy design drawn in the top of your cappuccino? Well, Jenn can do that! She's been trying to teach Liv. Here's her best attempt yet. She definitely didn't cheat and use a spoon!



Why not come down and try one? Liv might not be great with hearts but she can make you a delicious coffee with a cloud on top. Or an iceberg. She thinks they're better than hearts anyway!

Oh, and we heart tea too.

Happy Yorkshire Day!

Today is Yorkshire Day! Liv is from Yorkshire and is feeling very proud of the motherland. She's making roast beef and Yorkshire puddings for supper for the whole Galliott Studios gang tonight.

Before that, we'll all be heading to the discovery centre to hear the artist talk by our new friend, Jacqueline Bradley. Here's a link to her website http://www.jacquelinebradley.com.au/ You should definitely go too, she's a very interesting lady with some wonderful arty ideas! 7pm at the discovery centre.

Why not try making some Yorkshire puddings tonight? They're super tasty, even in today's 30 degree heat! Here's a link to a recipe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/yorkshire_pudding Liv reckons her's are the best in the world. And she's willing to enter into a Yorkshire off to prove it!




Once again, Happy Yorkshire Day everyone!!
