This term will stick in my mind for two reasons: loads of school events and multiple heatwaves!! A scorcher on both fronts.
The school visit trail took me to East Lancs, Manchester, Warrington, Wigan, Blackpool, Preston, Widnes, Bolton, Leyland, Fleetwood and Clitheroe. It was a magical mystery tour featuring writing workshops, appearances at Lit Fests, loads of story performances and so much more. Some schools were like revisiting old friends, whilst others were first-time stops, which are always special.
Massive thanks to everyone who booked me to visit (and didn’t take offence at my pale legs – shorts were essential most of this term!) Big shout and thanks to those who have passed on my details and shared what I do – word of mouth promotion means the world.
Loads of gigs, but limited photos this term. Always think it shows how much fun we had that pics were limited! I’ve got a few public gigs over the summer then I’ll be back out from September. If you’re reading this and want to experience the story magic in your school, get in touch and let’s make it happen.
