Pavilion in the Park

I hope everyone had a glorious weekend! I have now passed the 50,000 mark on The No-Kids Club, which I'm sure deserves a few glasses of wine. I'm hoping to finish the first draft in the next few weeks, and then the dreaded editing begins. *cue music of doom*

The past week has been a busy one! I'm very pleased to say I signed with super-agent Madeleine Milburn. She's got a great stable of authors -- many of whom I know -- and I'm thrilled to be a part of them. I hope to give more details of exactly why I've decided to go with an agent in the near future!

In a complete non sequitur, every year, the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens commissions an architect to design a summer pavilion. Checking it out has become an annual occurrence! While I wasn't keen on last year's, I quite like this summer's structure.






Gratuitous baby shot!

Have a great week, everyone. See you next Monday.

  25. Hi Talli - is that baby TR standing? Amazing - he looks just so delightful and cuddly ...

    I was in the Park the other day .. and if I get a chance when I'm next up in town, I'll drop by the Summer Pavilion .. I wrote about Oscar Niemeyer designing one of the Pavilions in 2004 aged 96!

    So I must get through .. if not this year, definitely next ...

    Cheers - it looks 'interesting'!!! and so much is going on in your life .. Baby TR brings lots of good luck and fun times .. Hilary

  26. Adorable Baby TR!! We love those "gratuitous" shots. :) And CONGRATS on signing with your agent! That is so awesome. I'm very happy for you!!! LOL on the dreaded editing (yeah, that's the less fun but very important part). Congrats on your word count.

    That's a creative pavilion, too!

  27. I didn't know that about Kennsington Gardens. All that white frothy castle like thing is pretty.

    Hey, congrats on signing with Madeleine!

    Love baby TR's smile. Wow, he sure has grown.

    Argh, editing... that's what I'm supposed to be doing at the moment, but butt-in-chair is hard after a long day at work. Wish I was still drafting, when everything's free and easy and I can write in my notebook anytime/anywhere!
