Thank you National Book Tokens and Read for Good for helping make this happen. Next stop, Gloucester.

If you visit the shop in Tetbury today and are surprised that I am not my normal lithe and limber self, this is because I fell down stairs this morning and am in some pain.
I feel like #OldSteptoe
The cupboard is empty
To our sorrow
Let's hope it will
Be full to morrow
Pray Remember the Poor Deptors
Dr Maddy Pelling (Writing on the Wall: Graffiti, Rebellion and the Making of 18C Britain) will be with us in Nailsworth on Weds 17th April

It was special but not a sustainable model that can be rolled out widely! I was a pupil premium teacher at that time. One of my most favourite jobs ever.
