I've read two really great good books lately.

The first one is by Maureen Lee. I've not read this British author before but greatly enjoyed this book, which is the first of a trilogy. I've ordered the next book.

We had a wonderful time on the Gold Coast in Queensland. We did a lot of shopping, swimming and eating and enjoyed the break. Some photos from our holidays.

The second one was our hotel. We had a three bedroom apartment and it was really very nice, spacious and clean.
