Two More Dots

by

Two more Pemberthy sightings to report. the first is from Helen and her daughter Anna in Bull Creek, a suburb of Perth. Helen tells me: ‘My daughter, Anna,is a big Pemberthy fan!’

Thanks Anna and thanks Helen too.

The second sighting is from Melbourne where illustrator Jacqui Grantford tells me she has several copies of Pemberthy. Of course she does – Jacqui is the very talented illustrator who brought Pemberthy to life!

So the map now looks like this, with the two new dots the teal ones.

Pemberthy has now been spotted in:

Corrigin
Melbourne (three times)
Brisbane – in a bookshop
Cairns
Logan (QLD) in a bookshop
Sydney (twice) in a bookshop
Stanwell Park (NSW)
Bendigo
Boyup Brook (Country WA)
Redland Bay, Cleveland and Victoria Point in SE Qld
Perth

Mapping Pemberthy’s travels is proving a fun exercise for me and I’m rapt with the interest being shown from Pemberthy fans. If you’ve seen Pemberthy, in your home, in a bookstore, or in a library, be sure to leave a comment and let me know. And, if you’ve just tuned in and are wondering what this is all about you can read the original post for an explanation of what I’m doing.

Have a lovely Friday. It’s the last day of school for the term here in the West, and I’m looking forward to having my babies home. Murphlets one and two came home from Perth last night, and the other four will be on holidays as of 3.15, so the house will be noisy – but it is the noise of fun, so that’s okay 🙂

Another Sighting

by

This is fun. Another Pemberthy sighting has come in by email – from Trudie at Kewarra Beach, north of Cairns. That’s the pretty blue dot in north Queensland.

Gosh, Pemberthy has been to places I’ve never been.

Thanks Trudie. If YOU have seen Pemberthy, drop me a line – even if someone else has already reported from your city or town. I want to go dotty all over!

Three Pemberthy Sightings

by

That was quick. I’d no sooner posted my map and request for people to notify me of their Pemberthy sightings (see post below) than I had reports of three sightings – one in Melbourne, one in Brisbane and one in Logan (Qld).

So here’s the new map, with those sightings recorded and new improved bigger dots for tired eyes 🙂
Thanks so much to Claire and Anna for reporting their sightings.

Have YOU seen Pemberthy – in your house, in a bookshop, library or school? Let me know by posting a comment or emailing me, and I’ll mark it on the map.
