A great day for meeting old friends . . . some of them a big surprise. Yes, a great day to share with friends and fellow authors alike. |
Barnstaple Spiritualist Church open day July 4th 2015. A great day with meeting interesting people. The author did some 'for fun only' card reading using the Celtic cross layout and ordinary playing cards. Strangely enough it seemed to work out quite well. Should we really be surprised?
One or two people went away with a new book to read !
Alison Murray's extraordinary knitted lady reads a great story to her knitted child.

Appledore Book Festival 2012 .... unofficial visitor.
Appledore Book Festival 2012 and my book visits the quayside on a bright and sunny Saturday, hoping to see the crowds. The place was so empty I had space to park in the street. After a pleasant cooked breakfast I wandered the streets looking to publicise my book . . . in the end I went and visited Rupert, who gave me some new stuff for his blog. . . something to do with eating and drinking. . . he has skills in both !
The photo shows the well known anchor landmark by the slipway.
Some wonderful young people rowed by in pilot gig boat and then some noisy blokes on smelly jet ski boat things showed another use for the river.
