High Tea - A wonderful morning!

Hello to all my friends,

High Tea at the Victoria Room was wonderful. The food was delicious and I made lots of new friends. There were girls from all over Sydney - Penshurst, Bankstown, Double Bay, Wahroonga, Neutral Bay, Manly and many more places. Thank you so much for coming. I hope you enjoyed the talk that Jacqueline Harvey gave about me and my books and I think my Alice-Miranda doll was very popular. Thankyou to Jill from the Victoria Room for having us there and we hope to see you all again early next year.

This week Jacqueline and I are working on my next adventure, Alice-Miranda at Sea, having just sent Alice-Miranda Takes the Lead to Kimberley our amazing editor for the final checking.

Have a lovely weekend - I think I might take Bony out for a ride tomorrow morning.

Love,
Alice-Miranda xx

High Tea at the Victoria Room

Hello,

I am so excited. Next Sunday I am looking forward to meeting lots of my friends at a very special High Tea event at the beautiful Victoria Room in Darlinghurst. It starts at 10.30am and there will be cup cakes and sandwiches and iced apple tea. I would love for you to join me and my best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey. I have posted the invitation on my site so please just follow the details and make your booking with The Victoria Room.

Jacqueline will be reading from my latest adventure Alice-Miranda On Holiday and I think she may even give a sneak peak at my new book Alice-Miranda Takes the Lead. I can't wait to see you.

With very best wishes,
Alice-Miranda
