Hi Beth - hope you are in a cool shady place for xmas and that you have somewhere wonderful to swim nearby. Stephen and I are all packed and ready for Woodford. It's been mad and it's going to get madder! We will arrive in time to spend xmas afternoon in the car park waiting for the season camping gates to open. We go to quite extraordinary measures to try and get a campsite that is protected from the western sun - even just a little bit! And then on Boxing day 6 teenagers join us. And then another 3 the next day. Actually, I think I must be certifiable! This extreme festival experience is very intense but hey, how else would you do the best hippy theme park in the country, if not the world?!? You take care - love the elf! Maybe one day your elfen self will join me at a festival dance workshop! Lotsa luv, chrissi xox
Thanks Chrissi! Hope Woodford is a blast (in all the good ways), with both light and shade and all the rest and that those teenagers appreciate having such a fabulous and cool Aunty/mum/friend. Look forward to joining you in some elf-dancing at Bellingen in October. xxxxx Beth
Hi Beth - Thinking of you today hope you had some special moments for Christmas. Had a lovely day at Lynda's it was a delight to see Chelsea open presents.....then thinking all the presents were her to open. I now have two weeks off to paint my little heart out thanks to Barry & Jes for a wonderful Christmas present. May 2010 bring you many interesting & rewarding adventures. Love Marg xx
Thanks for the wishes, Margaret, and glad to hear that Chelsea enjoyed her first Christmas. Warm wishes for health and happiness to you too in 2010. xx Beth
My most recent book, ‘Vagabondage’ (UWAP) is a memoir about selling up my beautiful house and garden in Creswick, Victoria, and living in a campervan for a year. Previous books include ‘How to Conceive of a Girl’ (fiction) and ‘Things in a Glass Box’ (poetry). I’ve also written articles and opinion pieces for newspapers such as the Age and for ABC Radio. I have a PhD from the University of Ballarat and have been awarded several Literature Board grants and some fellowships and prizes. Find out more and read some of my writing at www.bethspencer.com.
