Working Hard

Lots of writing to get done today... a few things to finish and tweak and something new to start. Must get on with  some of my planned longer books - one of which is starting to move along nicely now. I've set myself a daily word target on that one (not necessarily the right words or in the right order - but definitely a target).


I had a great day as Ysgol Bryn Hedydd in Rhyl last week... years five and six came up with some brilliant ideas for a story... I hope you all have fun working on them together. 


Next week I'm out and about visiting schools and libraries around Britain...


On Monday I'm at Davyhulme Primary School, Manchester - Tuesday Colwyn Bay Library, Wednesday Middleforth CE Primary School, Penwortham... then straight down to Ely in Cambridgeshire to visit Rackham Primary School... My final visit on next week will be to St John with St Michael Priamry School, Shawforth in Rochdale. I'll see you all soon.


On with some work now...

Ysgol Bryn Hedydd

I've got a few school and library visits coming up over the next few weeks and the first of these is on Thursday when I am off to Rhyl in North Wales to visit Ysgol Bryn Hedydd - here's a BIG HELLO to everyone there. 


I'll see you all soon...

Truly, Madly, Deeply...

I am so very happy to be able to tell you that my lovely lady, Vicky Harris, has said that yes, she will marry me... so I am delighted to be able to tell you that we are now engaged and that we will be getting married in October next year. I will tell you more about that as the time gets closer... 


Over the summer we spent a lovely week in Tenby with Connor and Vicky's Mum and Dad... here we are sat at the harbour...


Since then we have been having fun planning our wedding and making arrangements for our perfect day - there are so many important things to be considered... including what songs will be played at the reception. Our favourite song, and one that is very special to us, is Truly, Madly, Deeply, by a group called Savage Garden. 




There are so many things to be happy about but for now I can tell you that we are delighted that Rachel, Laura, Deanna, Rachel and Lauren have agreed to be bridesmaids, that my brother Craig has agreed to be my best man, and that Connor has agreed to be ring bearer for the day. There is so much more to tell you about but you will just have to wait...
