		<title>June 1st 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, good GRIEF! An ex-student has alerted me to the fact that my website hasn’t been up-dated recently. I should be completely mortified over my six-month silence but I’m not. I care for Theo, our adored grandson every morning until lunchtime. Malcolm takes over in the afternoon.
This means that after lunch I have very few [...]]]></description>

for UTS Hon. Doc. Graduation Ceremony
								Mem Fox 28:04:11
It’s a thrill to share this great day with you. It’s so wild finishing a course, holding the parchment, kissing the qualification and thinking: ‘It’s over!  Fantastic!  Now I can live again.’  I know how you feel. I can still remember [...]]]></description>

		<title>Books for babies under one year old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a query from a new mother recently about books for small babies.  I thought it might be sensible to show the world my reply, and a list of books for under-one-year olds: see below…
Dear Lucy
I have just come from caring for our grandson which I do every morning, and of course I [...]]]></description>

		<title>November 2010 update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello again from the blushing author whose website is so often unattended and unloved. I&#8217;m only slightly apologetic! My grandson Theo is SO attended to and SO loved that things like websites fade into insignificance. I&#8217;m sure the entire world, including you, dear reader, would agree that in the general scheme of things focussing on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resurrection!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Resurrection!
Helloooo! I’m ba-a-a-a-ck! Since December 2009, as a few of my benevolent readers may have observed, my ‘Hot’ News has turned ice-cold. I’ve been a disgrace to cyberspace for four whole months and really ought to be apologising, but you know what? A life lived is more fun than a life written down. If we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[End of Year High Note 
So the year is coming to an end.  Thank God.  I hope never to have another year like it.  I have spared you the details in the usual way that people do when they’re writing at Christmas, pretending that everything has been totally fabulous on every day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy memories from 2009!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was involved, as usual, as an ambassador in South Australia’s Premier’s Reading Challenge in which children are given a medal for reading 12 books during the year.  It’s a tremendous program which has increased children’s reading for pleasure, hurrah, as well as having a marked effect on their literacy.  The premier, Mike [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hard Times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hard Times
There are only three of us in our tiny family and we’re devoted to each other, as you know, if you’ve been reading this website over the years.  We’re a Goldilocks sort of family: Mother Bear, Father Bear and Baby Bear.  When two of the bears are going through a lot, the [...]]]></description>

Imagine, if you will, being an Australian author of children’s books and hearing that Leo and Diane Dillon, the royal couple of American children’s illustration, have agreed to paint the pictures in your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ten Little Fingers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How Lots of Little Fingers Started a Story…
If you have heard me speak or have read my website you will know how much I dislike writing. Finding the right words to put in the right places is highly focussed work, intense and difficult. I wouldn’t mind writing had I not learnt from long years of [...]]]></description>
