a new book and a plea



I was very fortunate to receive this absolutely gorgeous book for Christmas from Miss M and her partner Just M



it s a different type of book than i usually read, 
it's a it of a Mystery, 
which i am usually not  very good at reading as 
i tend to get frustrated and skip to the last page to find out what happened
but i am determined to be good and just keep reading and let the story unfold
at the moment it has really got me intrigued


it's a lovely old fashioned looking book
i just love this inside cover, maybe because it looks like patchwork fabric



and it even comes with it's own  bookmark
which is just fabulous

sadly however i discovered that some how a page has been torn from the book


as Miss M and just M no longer have the receipt 
i am fairly certain that the book shop will not 
replace the book 
especially since i have starred reading it 
. . . . . 

so my plea is this if any of you
my lovely friends out in blogland 
have this book or know of someone who has it

could you possibly photocopy or scan pages 283 and 284
for me, as i just know that these pages will hold valuable clues to the story

i would really appreciate any help you could give me

Hope your hands are working on a project that you love

Ciao

Oh how dreadful and frustrating. I'll email Michelle, I know she has that book.
If that doesn't work I have it. I have all her books but I haven't read this one yet.

that happened to me a few years ago...I was happily reading and discovered there were missing pages..I raced down to the local bookshop and bought another copy (because I am impatient) - the book had been a gift and the receipt was long gone...I took it into the city some weeks later and the bookshop refunded the money as the book was faulty and they could return it to their supplier for a refund....hope you get to find out what is on those pages!
I have the book on my e-reader...so that is no help at all....did you get the pages...

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
