Taken with Tazzyman

It was a wonderful Bookfest day.  People turned up - the weather was kind (even sunny in the afternoon) and there was heart-warming and enthusiastic feedback from authors and punters.

My favourite was David Tazzyman (illustrator for Andy Stanton/Mr Gum books) who ran a couple of illustration workshops.  He'd apparently been anxious about doing them as it had been so long... but he needn't have worried..  Funny, endearing and totally engaging he went above and beyond what we expected and embraced that all the adults joined in the drawing challenges...

Here he is choosing his favourite drawing for a prize!

Fabulous job Blakeney - Festival organiser 2023!

I'll sort out and post more pictures later this week but for now it's over and out - and an early night!
