Gordon had the days between Christmas and New Year off work, so he&#8217;s been pottering around. My niece, Lauren, drove up to stay for a few days, and we had a wonderful time together, mostly at home, planing and sewing costumes for the Jane Austen Festival in April. She went home yesterday, G goes back to work tomorrow, and I&#8217;ll have to get back into the swing of writing, too.<\/p>\n<p>The new year is going to be a full one, and January is already shaping up to have plenty of events. The <a title=\"Storm Clouds Armidale Launch\" href=\"http:\/\/bronwynparry.com\/event\/storm-clouds-armidale-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\">Armidale launch <\/a>of Storm Clouds is on January 10th, at Reader&#8217;s Companion bookshop.
