Queening it at Agfest 2009

I’m feeling all ‘Elizabeth Regina’ this morning as I prepare to travel north to officially cut the ribbon to open Afest 2009. I’ve done my speech, found some clean clobber to wear and am about to jump in my V8 red throbber.

Agfest, a premier agricultural field day, starts today and runs until Saturday and is the best farming shindig.

What’s inspiring about it is, its run by Tasmania’s brilliant Rural Youth organisation. If you are not a member… join up.

After I’ve opened the event, and while my family and friends enjoy Agfest, I’ll be in the hotel room, scratching my way through the final edit of The Cattleman’s Daughter.

I’ll be back to feeling all ‘Cinderella-ish’ while everyone else is having a ball! I hope the mini-bar is stocked!
