Attingham Park - Day 2

Wow it rained, the wind blew and then it rained some more. The
great British weather, unpredictable, varied and damn inconsiderate. But, it
didn't deter us. Wrekin Writers and our local Shropshire authors donned rain
coats, fleeces, jumpers and big smiles for our second day at Attingham Park.
Foolhardy maybe, undeterred never.



Looking after the Wrekin Writers' stall today we had Jenny and
her bump, Fiona and Steve. We were joined later by Sue Ross who was in her
element stroking dogs and talking to children, or was it the other way round?
I'm anticipating a load of children's entries for the competition - thanks
Sue.





Despite the weather though, we still laughed, chatted, networked
and had a damn good time. Simon did say though that he should've put a piece of
steak behind his posters to attract all the passing dogs and their owners -
perhaps next year. Oh didn't I tell you guys about that....?

This weekend has been a resounding success. I would like to thank the local authors who came along and joined in the spirit of the event and members of Wrekin Writers who have supported it. However, a great big thank you must go to Dorothy Nicolle and Simon Whaley who have worked so hard to make this event the success it has been. And also to all the local authors who have come along to not only sell their books but to give their time so freely.

Thank you everyone.
