Back to my old stomping ground of Chapel Street. Thought I'd drop into the Jam Factory for lunch. Found the mall deserted and desolate. In the midst of a renovation. But my favourite book store was also gone, replaced by some chain retail store. Why come to a cultural hotspot that has no culture?

Evening, Toots! Not a very productive day for me today - a couple of emails sent, but some days are like that. I’ve been trying to track down the artist of today’s #BroochOfTheDay to no avail, so they will have to remain anonymous, which is a shame, because I do adore this #brooch! It was a gift from my lovely brother and his wife, at the end of my 2019 visit to #Adelaide, and was bought from the #JamFactory. It’s a lovely homage in #glass to the iconic Haigh’s Chocolate Speckles - my favourite!
