So we’re making the Nullarbor collages to tip in our copies of Journey Across The Nullarbor. This booklet is a long time coming, and is derived from my train journal with Old Dad when we traversed the great Australian desert on the India-Pacific line . I just loved the desert colours and night sky.

The cottage where our dreams and drawings come to life, and it is shown here as summer wanes. I hope you’ve all had a lovely summer season without too much anguish from the unprecedented heat. My cottage and I send our love to you all!

The King of Hearts Bee is only 1 1/2 inches high and the assemblage is of The Royal Realm of the Gnome King… so expertly assembled by Master Indika Gnanaratna from ancient texts.

I wonder if would consider edible literature? Not that my writing could ever be classed as literature, and this is as delectable as publishing could ever be. This Chocolate ganache cake is in the shape of three publicationsI for my sixtieth birthday. Something sweet to share with you folks…. Look how cleverly made it is. My thanks to and for your kindness.

After a nice breakfast of dippy eggs and toast soldiers, Waisiki reminded me about the plates we were eating from. Not many people know this but in the last dim , distant days of the twentieth century I designed a set of chinaware for the venerable Australian Fine China Company. The company no longer exists in quite the same format as in the old days, but I have lovely memories working with my mum and dad, and the Aussie Gent, David Stanton on this breakfast set.
