West of the Moon tour (10)

After two days escaping into the Brecon Beacons (the weather was glorious and the views from the top of  Pen-y-Fan, which is nearly 3000 ft high, sublime) - I feel almost as though I really have been on an adventure like Bilbo's or Frodo's, journeying up mountains... and so it's lovely to reach the Homely House of the Book Maven, presided over by wise, welcoming, and magical writer herself, Mary Hoffman.

It seems a suitable point to stop, sit down in a comfortable chair, and chat about trolls and fearsome Viking warriors.  But don't worry, we're safe here, they can't get in.

West of the Moon tour (9)

So here I am this morning over at the Bookwitch being interviewed by the Bookwitch herself, while her talented photographer prowls around snapping...

I appear to be talking far too much, and at a great pace too, but they are very patient with me and offer me sandwiches (probably in an effort to shut me up for a few seconds!)

I'm like this when I get excited.  And I seem to have confused them about watermills.  But I certainly had fun!
