A wonderful week meeting friends in Melbourne and Geelong

Dear Friends,

I've had the most wonderful week meeting lots of friends in Melbourne and even had time for a tiny bit of sightseeing in Geelong and on the ferry from Queenscliff to Sorrento with Jacqueline Harvey and Zoe from Random House.

I visited a long list of schools including:  Essendon Primary, Brunswick North Primary, St Monica's Moonee Ponds, MLC Junior School Kew, Korowa Anglican Girls School, Geelong Grammar Toorak, Camberwell Girls' Grammar, Maranatha Christian School, Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar, St Francis of Assisi Mill Park, Geelong Grammar Prep and Geelong College as well as Preston Library, Book Grove at Ocean Grove and an event at Sandringham Library with the Ulysses Bookstore.  We worked with lovely people from Book Bonding at Niddrie, The Little Bookroom, Fairfield Books, My Bookshop by Corrie Perkins, Lamont Books and Dymocks Camberwell too.

I know that my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey has written all about the tour, day by day on her blog but I thought I would show you some pictures instead.

Happy Easter for the end of the week and have a wonderful holiday if your school is taking a break.

Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xxx
