Sunday Salon - 20 March 2011, 'bin travellin'

We've spent this weekend in Melbourne, and waiting in airports and flights (even though Adelaide to Melbourne is relatively short), and loads of free time, always means a bit of extra reading.

Yesterday we visited my favourite second hand bookshop in Melbourne, Kill City, and came away with a copy of  MURDER IN PARADISE  by Ann Cleeves. A very apt title for this blog!

There was great excitement in our household at the beginning of the week. Visit  Brand New Addition and you'll see why.
