It's been a truly incredible year for writing - or should I say reading? I have friends who have published:
What an incredibly rich and talented group of people I am lucky to call friends. A treasure trove of wordsmiths!
September means Word on the Street. However this year we added in our own book sale the day before. We had culled approximately 170 children's books over the summer. So on this beautiful and bright Saturday morning we set out our wares, opting to move up to the corner near the high street. Sophie did the first shift 9-10:30 and then hustled off to a swimming party when Seb took over for his 90 mins. He then helped to carry the remaining 100+ books back to our house where Mr M spread them on the front wall/tables and proceeded to watch over them from the porch with a cold drink in his hand all afternoon! Proceeds were about $85 split evenly between the kids - to be spent on books - plus 2 bags to take over to the children's book bank.
And then on the Sunday - a searingly hot day - Sophie and I trekked (via the ice cream shop)
over to Queen's Quay and looked at, touched, read, discussed, flipped through books, books, books!

| We met up with a pal from my book club and went to find where our friend Sarah would be reading |

| Glorious day as you can see! |
