writers' week 2015

I've probably mentioned before how much I love Adelaide Writers' Week (like, oh, every year we've attended), but seriously, it's an awesome event & I highly recommend you go if you have the chance.

There is some sort of magic that happens at writers' week, where any talk you go to is interesting - some more than others, of course - & it doesn't matter if you aren't familiar with the authors, or you only see the talk because it is on the same stage as the next talk you've picked. Add to that a beautiful parkland setting (with gorgeous weather this year), free entry & good coffee - I could happily attend the whole week, although we made do with the first two days this year. Already looking forward to next year...

writers' week 2014

Another year, another Adelaide Writers' Week - held as always in beautiful parkland in the city - a celebration of books & reading & writing. Attending has become something of a tradition for us, one I hope continues. We had a lovely time listening to all the authors speaking about their work - Alexander McCall Smith was a real highlight, just as lovely as his books - but I enjoyed every session we listened to.

One of the many lovely things about Adelaide's literary festival is the fact that being free to attend means you can arrive early, or decide to hang around a little longer & catch authors or talks you might not have picked, but which often turn out to be some of the best.

I know my post is a bit photo heavy for something that's about a book event, but I kind of like letting my pictures do the talking. If you would like a more, well, writer-y perspective, head on over to Kathryn's blog.

forest textures...

I took some molding compound with me when we went for a walk in the forest the other day. Mostly wood/bark textures, along with one pine-cone & a little plant (probably a weed).

There has been a lot of rain around here recently (there were even some roads closed in the forest) & the dampness meant the compound dried much slower than usual - I lost one entirely, but the others turned out pretty well.
