Saltaire Bookshop

Last week I drove across to Yorkshire to visit a little bookshop in Saltaire - The Saltaire Bookshop no less. I usually do most of my visits on my own but for a change, my wife and two of our daughters came along with me as it was half term here in Blackpool so they had the day off.

It was great to be welcomed into the shop where I spent the morning talking about writing and sharing stories and poems with four classes from Saltaire Primary School. I even managed to read a little bit from one of my Robo-runners books (book two in fact). Sitting at home writing stories is great but you never really know whether people are going to like them until you read them out loud... always a bit scary. Thankfully everyone seemed to enjoy the part I read so that was great.

Here's a big HELLO to everyone at Saltaire Primary School and a big THANK YOU to the David and Yvonne at the Saltaire Bookshop for inviting me in and looking after me for the morning.

After the sessions we went for some dinner and had a look round Salts Mill before driving back across to Blackpool in time for tea.
