12.01.2022 Ameliaranne Goes Digging told by Lorna Wood & pictured by Susan B. Pearse: published 1974 by Picture Lions, paperback in good condition, no names or marks.

10.01.2022 Ameliaranne was created in 1920 with Ameliaranne and the Green Umbrella, told by Constance Heward with colour pictures by Susan B. Pearse. Over the years Ameliaranne stories were written by various authors - always with the charming illustrations by Susan B. Pearse, who lived to be 102.... "She was a pale child with black hair, which she wore in curl rags from Friday night to Sunday morning." She loved her mother and was fiercely protective of her little brothers and sisters. The Squire thought she was a sensible child and everyone agreed: "Ameliaranne will know what to do." In Ameliaranne Goes Digging she and the little Stigginses are digging to Australia when they make an interesting discovery. AU$10

10.01.2022 I just sold one of my favourite books, The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge. It's going to England to a lady who has read 2 copies to bits and now wants a third one - a charming story of a cathedral city in the 1870s and the people who lived and worked there. There's Isaac, the watch-maker who becomes an unlikely friend for the Dean, his happy maid-of-all-work Polly and the orphan Job whom she takes under her wing, Isaac's sister and best of all - the self-willed 6 year-old Bella. Elizabeth Goudge's children are always memorable. I still have 3 left, one with a nice dust jacket GOU027 at $12

08.01.2022 We had a great day yesterday at Rymill's Winery Coonawarra where we attended the Long Lunch starring Stephanie Alexander. Long is right! We didn't get home till 5 pm. The food was delicious, chosen by the Chef Simon Bowen in consultation with Stephanie who spoke about her life and her passion for improving the eating habits of children with the introduction of Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Gardens in school which teaches children that growing and eating your own food is fun. We have one in Mount Gambier and when I visited I was amazed to see kids putting parsnip on their pizzas and eating it!!! The photo is of my plate after eating roast beetroot salad, boudin of seafood with spinach puree and rosat saltbush lamb with lamb and barley pie. We had a clean plate for the quince tart.
