Days 58-60: Home Away from Home

I spent the next four nights with Sue's family in Palmerston North, and I had a wonderful time. They are all readers (I met Sue through a mailing list devoted to the discussion of children's literature), so all around me were bookcases full of reassuringly familiar books. After the shock in Wellington, it was just what I needed. I regrouped, rested, and read. I had the chance to read Clare Mallory's Merry trilogy and her "New House at Winwood." I also read a delightful series of picture books about a Scotch terrier, Hairy McClary from Donaldson's Dairy, which made a nice change of pace.

Hairy McClary
My children loved Lynley Dodd's books when they were young. We all still do.
