Shifty & Sam steal hearts at the Cambridge Literature Festival!

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!
