Okay okay I've been slack, I know, I know... BSF 2011 took place on 24 September and here I am, about 3 weeks late in posting a blog entry and photos. Many apologies! To all who came, we hope you enjoyed the festival. And if you didn't manage to make it, do join us next year. There's a dog show, fashion show, lots of food stalls, music, night-time open air film screening at Shortwave Cinema in the square... all manner of fun and exciting activities. So mark your calendars for next year - the annual BSF takes place in September :)

JOURNEYS IN THE BOOKSHOP - READING BY PARTICIPANTS FROM OUR ELDERS WRITING GROUP
Over last year and this year, Maggie Smith facilitated a writing workshop (for mature participants aged 50 and above) aptly named Writing From Your Life. Short stories and poems were selected from the work they produced and published in an anthology called Journeys In The Bookshop. We were honoured to have the group reunite for a reading. Thank you Maggie and to all who came to share.
