Tracey Corderoy, Shifty, Sam and myself have had a wondrous weekend at the Cambridge Literature Festival!
We were wined and dined and lucky enough to stay at the beautiful Corpus Cristi College - one of the many famous colleges steeped in history and elegance - and they also do a mean full english breakfast!
The magnificent Corpus Cristi college - our home for the weekend |
Shifty & Sam couldn't decide what to wear for the event... |
…but they opted for black and white stripes! |
As ever they were rather tempted to be naughty dogs… |
…but they stayed on the right side of the law! |
Me, the lads and Tracey post-breakfast |
…which was taken in a Hogwarts-esque dining hall! |
Then it was on with the event! Tracey read the story to our fantastic audience ... |
...then we made bouncy spiders, |
…drew some Slippery Sams... |
...of which there were some FANTASTIC end results - thank you Barnaby for this cracker! |
…and played a great game of 'Oh no! Where did it go?! |
We even met Sarah McIntyre and Philip Reeve - creators of 'Oliver and the Seawigs!' |
We all had a fantastic time - the Cambridge Festival was a huge success and thank you to all the organisers, especially Sabine Edwards for making us all feel so warmly welcomed.
And now after a short rest, it's on with Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam……the sequel!
