Back home at last, plus Facebook and a good day

Well, phew!  I'm back from my trip up north, where I visited schools and bookshops and a lot cities beginning with N.  Highlights include Moor Park School in Preston (plus all the great people I met at Borders, Preston, later that day), Fernwood School in Nottingham, and Norwich School on the cathedral grounds.  An excellent trip.

Welcome, too, to new commenters Sarah, Jack, Jane, Jen and Alice.  Excellent to hear from you all, thank you!  And comments, by the way, are the best way to speak...
