I know! I couldn't believe my luck! I drove up to Masterton late this morning with the intention of buying Simple Pleasures and was expecting to pay upwards of $49! Absolutely thrilled!

Just being nosey here carlosjackal - whereabouts in the Wairarapa do you live! - obviously somewhere in South Wairarapa when you said that you drove "up to Masterton".We are hoping to retire to Featherston to be closer to our DD wholives there.:-))

Greytown is beautiful 245sam, gorgeous shops very village type town, you will love it if you moved there although it has become popular and think house prices have gone up a bit there, and as carlols said 'great' climate normally.not too good today here either but not as bad as they predicted and think the whole country has rain!

Off track a bit there.what I meant to say was I will have to see if my SIL will grab me one at that price, nearly bought it today at the red shed for $49, I have the lemon coconut cake in the oven from one of the books not sure if its the 1st or 2nd, I dont have a 30cm tin so make it in a 25cm and get 9 cup cakes as well.

A big thank you to carlosjackal. Because of an impromptu decision and change re our Labour Weekend plans we were with our recuperating-from-surgery-daug- hter in Featherston and while we had special Mother-Daughter time my DH and our SIL went to Masterton, and as a result of your 'heads up' carlosjackal, re Annabel's book being 'on special' at Hedley's Bookshop I now have the book which my DH was able to get on Saturday for $39.99.:-))

Excellent! That's great! I wonder why it was $39.99! - they sold me mine for $35 - still a real bargain though!
