writers' week 2013


I was very happy to be able to attend some of Adelaide Writers' Week again this year. Held outdoors in some of Adelaide's beautiful park-lands, it's free! to attend & lots of fun. Although I have to say this year's weather wasn't quite as wonderful as last year.


Anyway, we managed to attend talks on two different days & listened to some authors we already loved, as well as discovering some new (to us) ones. Kathryn & I also waited in two really long lines to get books signed.

Isobelle Carmody & Kerry Greenwood have been favourites of mine for a long time & they were very worth listening to (Kerry's talk was hilarious). I also really enjoyed hearing Justine Larbalestier & Vikki Wakefield (on a panel with Isobelle), Karen Lord (although I missed part of her talk due to one of the aforementioned lines), Scott Westerfeld & Toni Jordan. It was also nice to see Sean Willams again (talking with Scott Westerfeld), as his talk with Garth Nix was one of my favourites last year.


& Kathryn's posts 1 | 2 (I also must thank her for having found the links for all the authors already, so I could just copy them :)  )

no-bake choc fruit bites


You might remember my mention of working towards launching our shop blog - which is now live. There will be recipes, craft, articles about things like aromatherapy & much more. I am one of four contributors & my first post is about these awesome no-bake fruit bites.

They are delicious, healthy, easy to make & did I mention delicious? You can find the recipe here.
