A NEW ZEALAND DIARY – LIVING IN LYTTELTON
A great book for people who love Lyttelton. An even better book for people who don’t understand why that is.
The launch was a HUGE success. Thank you to everyone who came. You can see photos here.
If you read the book and would like to write something kind about it on Goodreads, I’d be a very happy camper.
