Thanks Borders Book Festival

Just saw Janey Godley at the Borders Book Festival and I nearly passed out from laughing so much. Audience in the palm of your hand- genuinely laugh out very loud!

This evening I have been in the company of Janey Godley and Val McDermid It was the funniest thing I’ve watched for a long time. Absolutely brilliant.

A fantastic evening of discussion at the Borders Book Festival. Such a lovely venue & lively atmosphere. Literally crying laughing at times...some thought provoking take away moments too #melrose #books #scottishborders Borders Book Festival Janey Godley Val McDermid GO Tweed Valley National Trust for Scotland

Four seasons in one day but everyone's happy and we're having a great time with all our authors, guests and audiences. #bordersbookfestival
