Creative Gunning is ready at the starting gate ...

And we'll be off and racing from next Saturday, with a co-committee person and I doing setting up on Friday afternoon.

I've been digging out my crafts to take to another committee member's home this afternoon, and I can't wait to see what has already been put forward by the new members.

It is kind of fun to be at this beginning stage and to anticipate how well it might go and how it will be received by the community and tourists to our area.

Magic for Marigold

I was in the child's section of my local library the other day and at the "M" section, when who should I run into, but L. M. Montgomery. Having grown up reading Anne of Green Gables and the like, I skipped over these, and discovered she had also written another book called Magic for Marigold.

The edition I am reading is published by Angus & Robertson Publishers and was purchased by the library I suspect around 1982 (first date of borrowing) for the price of $5.95. The reason I mention this is because it is the same hardback series that was purchased for me around the same time by my Aunty Joan.

I've looked on booko.com.au for a copy and the cheapest and only one I can find is for AUD $66.12! Luckily, if you are interested in reading it, it is also listed with Project Gutenberg Australia here.

I am up to Chapter 2 and loving it and having recently read a few adult fiction books (that were more focused on the destruction of marriages and infidelity!), finding this interesting and enthralling.
