( i always get suger hipo!) And my dads best friends niese who is the same age as me came over and we played all day it was really fun!!!

Hannah says...

Hey Cathy, Well for those of you who live in Australia you may know that the Parramatta Eels lost against Northern Storm in the rugby grand final!! :( But before the game i made eel-shaped cookies and even some cookies that spelled out “GO PARRA EELS ”! And they tasted delicious! I will try and email pictures of them to Cathy’s website! I also saw comedians Josh Thomas and Claire Hooper at the 2009 International River Healthh Conference in Canberra!!! They were hilarious! Hope u all had good holidays!

Heather says...

Hi Cathy x During our half term i met up with my friends alot. My next door neighbour got a puppy so i was through seeing it some days. Me and my friends made double choc muffins from asdas. Everyone loved them but me. I dont like cakes but i love baking them. Hope you had fun in london.

Emma says...

heeyya… well i’m going to an awesome halloween party this half term, so hopefully i’ll be making some-ultra-scary cakes for my friends ot eat, as it’s become a little bit of a trademark for me, i always make them for my friends’ birthdays! i’m going to be helping my older sister make some pudsey cakes with m&m’s for a DofE project she’s doing, we’ll be selling them at school just as soon as we get back! your london trip sounds awesome, not just seeing the queen, but the play of War Horse, too! i’ve read it for school and i cried at the end :’) Shopping sounds cool too, i’ve been shoppingthis half term, but not nearly as posh as Camden and Covent Garden- i just went out with friends to get some halloween costumes!

Kate says...

Cathy, It has been a good enough mid-term besides the fact my younger sister has been very sick. I went to my best friends mid-term party and im going trick or treating with my friends and doing some charity bag-packing in the supermarket. I guess I can’t really complain. Thanks for reading! Kate,12.

Zoe S says...

Hi Cathy, For Halloween I’m cooking some spooky treats for my family. I can’t wait! Your trip to London sounds great! Zoe x

Cathy Cassidy says...

Sounds great – you’re having lots of fun, and there is plenty of cake involved! Love Kate’s post about helping with the charity bag packing, too… remember those ‘random acts of kindness’ and do something cool for someone else this half-term! xxx

Livvie says...

Stacey says...

Ooooh, I baked cupcakes and my family and I went to Fiji, even though it’s not fall breal in Australia :-)

Katherine says...

Well this holidays I have been drawing and painting a lot. I got my mum to buy a canvas and some paint and paintbrushes and I have drawn and are now painting my mural! I have divided it into 8 parts with Cathy`s name in the middle, and in the 8 boxes are my 8 fave books! I have included Driftwood, Lucky Star, Sundae Girl, Dizzy, Angel Cake, Scarlett, GingerSnaps and Indigo Blue! I will send you are pic Cathy when it is finished! Also you could write a story or book. Random ideas will offen just pop in to your head and you can expand them and maybe turn it into a story or book. It helps express your feelings and it is a good thing to do if you have some free time.

Cathy Cassidy says...

Katherine, that sounds awesome… I can’t wait to see the pic! Stacey, FIJI … wow!!!! Good luck with the exams, Ashley. Great to hear from you all… and good luck if you are starting back at school today! xxx

I want to be an author when I grow up and I reallly look up to you and admire your remarkable work. Thanks again for your beautiful work. Love Helen- your admiring fan xxxxxxxxx

Hannah says...

Hi Cathy, This term at school we performed our school production or “Aladdin”! It was super fun and i got a main part. I was a guard and had to sing a song!!!(super embarassing) But one of my friends was Jasmine! It was really fun! And now we are getting our leadership positions fro yr 6!!! SO nervous!!!! XOXOXOXO

Mishaaa says...

heeeyaaaaa i LOVE your book ‘Indigo Blue’!!

Lara says...

Hi Cathy!!! You know what I did?!! I went to this cool theme park…at night with my cousins. It looked reeeaaally scary at night. I went on Bumper Cars(I’m FINALLY old enough), I went for this ride.. my cousin,(about,5years old), was too scared to come. But it didn’t look scary..at first..until I went on it! And I’m like, OH no a slope! A steep one too! Your actully in a boat and your riding in water. So, when I went down the 1st slope, I closed my eyes tight. I opened them, and was like, HEY ! that wasn’t too bad !!! And for it again! alot of times! Once I got splashed with water too!

Hattie Lewis says...

This Half Term was sweeet for me! Me and my mum were on an incredibly important mission of baking chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing, and selling them at our village fete. It was busy and so we managed to make £40 from our delicious cakes! We were so happy, and so decided to give the money to our local RSPCA branch. PLUS there were about ten spare cakes, so I gave one each to my best friends when we went back to school. But I think the bonus of it all was curling up infront of the fire, with a spare cupcake in one hand and ‘Sundae Girl’ in the other. Bliss!

cumbria says...

half term is over here and it was pretty good but quite boring but school is really AMAZING atm and on 5th november i went to a bonfire with two boys and one other girl…it was great!

i love all your books… agel cake and dizzy are my faves! xxx

Claire says...

Scarlett made me cry…imagine my dad being so mad at me after he was so nice to me! That’d be terrible, and Dizzy is sad, too. Indigo Blue is so cool and adventurous! Then again, Scarlett is too. Anyway, what I like about your books is near the end, something surprising and dramatic happens! Life is SUPER sweet!

Ashleigh says...

Hey Cathy, Are you releasing any books before Christmas? If you are, which ones. i’ll put them on my list! Ashleigh xoxoxo

Kate says...

Heya, Cathy. Over half term I went on holiday to Scotland, close to where you live! I begged my dad to take me to your house, bit he won’t – not fair! Anyway, it was pretty sweet, even the occasional drizzle, and bought a good copy of Lucky Star to read. I was sad to leave, but I did get to see a woman hiking up the trail to an old lighthouse called Mull of Galloway – who, guess what, looked exactly the same as you… shame it wasn’t the real you! Kate xoxo

Georgie says...

Hi Cathy. I love all your books. My favourite one is Driftwood because it is so heart warming and some of the characters are like some people in my family. Georgie xxxx

Holly says...

Meaghan says...

Well I baked a cake and that ended REALLY badly, it broke right in half when I took it out of the tin and then it crumpled away!! It didn’t look at all eatable but it was and it was great!!

I LOVE your book dizzy!!

Chloe says...

Amanda says...

hello cathy, i absolutely love your books! i havent read all of them, but seriously the ones i have read are like so heart-felt and nice that you get drawn into the book from the first page. i loved Gingersnaps and Indigo Blue the best because they were so nice and the words made you relate to the character, then i liked Driftwood and Dizzy. I want to read angel cake & shine on Daizy Star!

Aliceeeee! says...

For the half term holidays, my best friends came over for a halloween sleepover. We went totally mad and stayed up for hours. I’m not sure my mum was too pleased! I love all of your books so much, and I have all of them except Angel Cake, but I’m hoping that I will get it for xmas. I’ve been borrowing it from my friend for about a month or so, re-reading it. You are a really amazing author! thank you so so so much for becoming a writer, otherwise where else would I get my weekly awesome book quota? xXx

Kate says...

Although I’m at the age to be reading Lucky Star and Scarlett and those books, I love Daizy Star. Reading can get you very far, so I advise that, if your bored. reading with some hot chocolate on a cold day is best. :) Hugs, happiness and jam dougnuts, Kate

Isobel says...

Chantelle says...

Hey Cathy!! I TOTTALY agree. I love reading when I’m bored and I love baking. I also love ‘Ginger Snaps’ its your best book by far. and I did exsactly what Ginger did.
