Today and next week

Hello everyone! We're still in the Blue Mountains and yesterday Hanno, Tricia and I drove out to the little heritage town of Millthorpe. It is a beautiful town, untouched by modern development with many old homes and shops. We had lunch there and came back via Bathurst. A lovely drive.

Today I'll be on 2GB Sydney radio with Chris Smith, talking about the book. After that, we'll drive over to Glebe to sign books at Gleebooks on Glebe Point Road. We'll be there from 3pm so if you're in the neighbourhood stop by and say hello. We'd love to meet you.

Kerry and Sunny are at our place at the moment. Sunny's mum and sister and her children are visiting from Korea so they're there too.  Yesterday they went to the mall at Maroochydore and saw my book on sale at Collins book shop. Kerry took a photo of it! I loved that he did that. My whole family is proud of this book and while I have been thinking of it as my book, I now know it's our family book.

I've had a lot of people ask where we'll be so here is the itinerary, including the radio, TV, magazines and newspapers:
