On Monday I will be taking the train back to Devon for one last stop on the Babs2Brisbane book tour. I am heading to the Appledore Book Festival. down on the north Devon coast. This is Britain’s ‘friendliest book festival’ and I am looking forward to once again seeing the lovely light which is found here, and which attracts so many artists to the area. (more…)
As the rain clouds cleared and the sun broke through, I stepped out to begin my day at Hay. The event was ‘How green is my money?’ a talk and discussion between myself, Alistair Sawday and Elaine Brook. In connection with the Gaia Partnership, this is a regular session at the Hay Festival and so attracts a good audience. As we sat in the Green Room waiting to go along, I thought I would be a bit disappointed if there were not at least 20 people. Andy Friars joined us and told us that 371 were booked in at the last tally, so we had moved to a bigger stage!
Chagford and Great Torrington behind me, I headed to Hartland, on the North Devon coast, for the fourth talk of the tour. I left behind me some inspiring people and beautiful places, but my pedals kept turning, propelling me northwards towards more.
