Saturday’s Meet The Author event Wellington (Shropshire) Library was great fun. It’s always interesting chatting to potential readers (and past book buyers), many of whom are dog owners – although, looking at my table display that’s hardly surprising!
I, along with a bunch of far more talented writers, will be taking part in the Meet the Author event at Wellington (Shropshire) Library, this Saturday, 25th October, between 10am and 2pm, as part of the Wellington Literary Festival. It’s an opportunity to explore a wonderful bookish place (a library!) and meet real life authors, who are also selling their books. (Yes, you can buy books in the library, although if we know our books are on the shelves, we won’t mind if you borrow them instead).

What a fun morning I’ve had, taking photos on behalf of The People’s Friend magazine, at the Age UK shop in Newport, Shropshire. My thanks go to store manager Sharon, and the rest of her team for making me feel so welcome (and making me a cup of tea!), as I badgered them for photos.

The June 2014 issue of Country Walking carries my 7.25-mile route around Clee St Margaret, giving you the opportunity to visit the church at Clee St Margaret, St Milburgha’s Well, and Heath Chapel – it’s a right religious wander, you could say!
