Ipswich Arts Festival

Moved on from Hull to Ipswich for the Ipswich Arts Festival last night. In the afternoon I appeared as a guest on BBC Radio Suffolk and then later, on a beautifully sunny evening, my event was held on a university campus that overlooks a fantastic harbour. I’d been here 2 or 3 years ago while touring THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS so it was nice to come back with THE HOUSE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE. Also got a chance for a quick trip back and forth to Norwich, my old university, to catch up with some friends. The picture below reminds me of my 7 years working as a bookseller with Waterstone’s and the amount of times I stood behind tables like this one at events, selling books!
