#105 A clue for the new book

As mentioned in an earlier blogs, Anne sometimes goes on excursions out of the studio if she need to research anything. It’s always exciting to go on these little road trips, whether they be near or far, as it gives us all a chance to get out of the studio for a while.

Producing a book means a great deal of time spent at the studio, so it is a nice change to actually get out.

Some of the team accompanied Anne out to the Mount Annan Botanic Gardens. Anne has sourced some elements for the new book from them in the past, and visited the New South Wales seed bank, which is located there.

But yesterday, Anne was invited to tour the gardens themselves. (more clues re the content of the new book) Mt Annan is a native garden on approximately 400 hectares (100 acres) and is about one hours drive from the centre of Sydney.

Two of the research team took Anne on a guided tour. The gardens are really lovely, quite natural in appearance a lot of the land looks like undulating countryside, not garden-like at all.

The team had a wonderful morning out there and finished it off with a picnic in their wattle grove. (no cup cakes)

Here is Anne studying a possible addition to the book. The name of the flower next blog!

Don't forget to look at using Anne's iTheme on Google and also it was nice to see so many nice comments from Anne's Facebook Fans regarding Anne's Flagship store in Downtown Disney. It was actually a Disney invitation that made this location possible.

For those who have not been there to Disneyland, (make a promise to go to Disneyland, it's really a fun place) we are directly opposite the Disney store.
