Tasmanian friends, if you happen to be looking for signed copies of my books, there are now plenty in Hobart! My big thanks to Ellen and all in Fullers Bookshop ; Kellie, Teagan and Anna at Dymocks Hobart and Bronwyn, Ella and Georgia in the Hobart Bookshop for their warm welcomes, and to the brilliant Deb McGowan of Penguin Books Australia for organising everything.

I also got to visit (twice!) my favourite shop in Hobart, the CWA Gift Shop, Hobart, Tasmania. When I lived in Hobart from 1996-1999, I was almost a daily visitor, stocking up on fresh flowers, relishes, jams, homegrown vegetables, plants, homemade cakes and slices, knitted garments, toys and so much more. Such a treat to see it is still going strong, and to leave with lots of goodies yet again. If you’re ever in the area, I heartily recommend a visit!
