What a pleasure it was to participate in yesterday afternoon’s panel discussion Not Just a Pretty Picture on the final day of Clunes Booktown Festival 2023.
Huge thanks to everyone who made it so: inestimable Festival organisers Jon Hawkes and Sue Beal, fellow panelists Simon Perry and Philip Faulks, our superb Chair, Michele Ely, Shelley Hinton, who curated the pop-up exhibition, A picture’s worth a thousand words and last, but by no means least, our attentive, encouraging and enthusiastic audience. It did our hearts good to see so many of you there.
