I first appeared at the Fowey Festival at least 20 years ago. My role was to interview Ann Widdecombe about one of her novels. I fell in love with the place and went back to Fowey a couple of times afterwards.
Last year I spoke at the Festival and on my way back broke my hip! Up to that point it had been a fantastic weekend, which included a night at the wonderful Fowey Hall Hotel.
In a couple of weeks I’ll be back and I’ll be speaking/appearing at three different events. If you’re in the west country on 17/18 May I do hope you might come along to one or more of the events. Here are the details…
