Some friends have had an exciting start to 2012!
Meenakshi, Co-editor of Alien Shores and Fear Factor Terror Incognito, spotted a tiger on 23 December during a family holiday at Bandhavgarh in the National Park, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA.

Alan Scarratt in the UK tells me that his son, Ryan, is in the Norwegian Arctic with Mark Wood who is preparing for his North Pole/South Pole solo attempt and sent a couple of youtube videos. the videos are by Ryan Scarratt and Mark Wood. Mark is the one currently on his way solo to the South and North Poles.
Mark’s company is called “Snowball Expeditions” . Alan says: “Their website is great and has videos of Ryan playing volleyball with a bunch of kids and their teachers in Tibet. There is also a picture of him walking towards Everest on the homepage. The two of them together with a couple of others periodically guide would-be adventurers to Everest base camp.”
I’ve seen the slide-show on the Snowball Expeditions home page and the photos are spectacular!

Michelle Cahill has enjoyed a Writers’ Retreat in Scotland as a Hawthornden Castle Fellow.
While our fabulous Ambassador for Australian literature, Anita Heiss celebrated New Year in New York.
I’m enjoying a much quieter time – for a few days at least – but a few exciting events are coming up, including tickets to Love Never Dies at the Sydney Capitol Theatre with my lovely daughter, an Australia Day lunch at Darling Harbour with good friend Susanne Gervay and a visit by my niece from New Zealand. A trip to the Central Coast to catch up with friends and to spend some time by the sea will cap off a great start to the New Year.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy, prosperous and prolific New Year!
Much Peace & Love,
Sharon
