Well done Sharon :)

[Sharon]

Thanks Brenda 😊

[Odette]

I have just got back from Canberra and the author talk by Fiona McIntosh this morning at the Canberra Library. It was a extremely interesting and inspirational talk about the research, travel and writing of the The Tea Gardens. This talk will make a difference to how I relate to this book when I read it. It should be very soon as I purchased a copy.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh lovely! I'm envious Odette - I would love to hear her talk :)

[Odette]

She is on a tour, but looks as though you may have missed her in NSW. Here is the link to her schedule:

She's in Mount Gambier early Dec - we were there toward the end of October :( And Norwood the same!! Never mind - hopefully she'll do it again with her next book :)

Bought this for myself in the city today The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafield. It was written in the 1930s and is supposed to be very funny. It's a very pretty little hardcover book (would make a nice gift for the right person).
