I know I've neglected the blog for some time....but here is some news! I will be reading at the Manchester Book Fair in St Anne's Sqaure on Saturday 18th July at 2.00 pm.

Review of Flax Picnic - 9th May

For those who are interested in the goings-on at the (wet) Flax Picnic held last month - I have written a review of the event for Preston Writing Network - go see.

Change of plan

Sarah informs me that Saturday's Lit Fest pickernick is now at the Tithebarn, opposite the church in Grasmere. It will be signposted, so there's no excuse.

Flax Picnic 9th May

It's picnic time again. Following the success of last September's event, Flax Books http://www.litfest.org/ are having another afternoon of readings this Saturday 9th May at the Wordsworth Trust in Grasmere 1.30-4.00.

Please come if you can. There were cakes last time.

And once you've enjoyed the readings, you can jostle for position at Wordsworth's grave and sample some of Sarah Nelson's gingerbread. If the shop is closed by that time, try some raisin filled sandpaper, it's much the same. http://www.grasmeregingerbread.co.uk/
