Sunny, autumnal Sunday

I picked up one of my 'to read' books but it is still so warm for October that we all went for a walk in Norbury Park. The sun was out but it was so peaceful and we only met the occasional dog walker. We picked lots of blackberries, elderberries and sloes to return home after a picnic of juice and biscuits with purple fingers and a few scratches to turn our bounty into wine. The children want to return next weekend so lets hope the weather is as good...

Shopping

I went to the supermarket to do our weekly shop and came away with clothes and books. I can't believe how cheap they can sell these books. How can the authors make any money from them?
I knew I shouldn't have taken my daughter with me...

Library visit...

A quick visit yesterday to our small but sweet local library. It's in the same building as the registry office so sometimes we sit and watch the wedding parties having photos taken in the garden.
I came out loaded with books but, sadly, once again the majority were for my children. I have to make instant choices too! By the time my youngest has chosen her books, she just wants to leave. I dream of one day spending ages browsing along the shelves...

Hello, to all out there...

Having published my first book this year, I have been dying to get in touch with people who have (and those who haven't) read my book. So if anyone wants a chat with a new author...
This week I'm happy and sad. I'm happy because the publication of my second book (a sequel to the first) is well under way and I have just sent off some illustrations. But I'm sad because we've just said goodbye to my brother who has returned home with his young family to the other side of the world. It always reminds me of that Elton John song.
