Happy First Birthday Newcastle Library

I have been up in Newcastle all weekend. The fantastic library is one year old already!!! I do lots of stuff up in the North East so it was great to be asked to go up and be a part of the birthday celebrations!! I did some writing workshops with young people and talked a lot about feet and cabbage heads for some reason!! Hello to the pink drinking, deep thinking, word tinking, writing blinkers - Leasha, Lozza, George and Danny. Hello also to Judy and Crazy Kay, who used to sell wooden handbags, for sorting out a great weekend for me. There had a massive birthday card on show that included a little verse i wrote - Find yourself a birthday cake, smother it in ice, write Happy Birthday Library, and cut yourself a slice. Yeah man, well good!!
