I was asked to talk about my writing journey as a guest speaker at a writing retreat.

Jay-Jay joined the early years home learning days with free activities to support his book.

As a ‘Patron of Reading’ I am keen to support children in their love of books.

After several months of planning and preparation the author booking came along, Kennington Primary Academy. Mr Newland, the teacher organising the event, had been busy with lots of teacher things too, such as OFSTED, Moderation and planning. I am sure the event had been tricky to sort out but finally the day was here.

It was lovely to visit the calm and relaxed atmosphere of libraries in both Redhill and Horley over the summer holidays and to share the story of ‘Jay-Jay the Supersonic Bus’.

The old Tudor House in the High Street of East Grinstead is a haven for book lovers.
