Roman Lodge Fun Dog Show, in support of Dogsfriends, was great fun.
The hill top location and wind were slightly challenging but everyone coped and Jasper and Milo were able to contribute to the good cause.
A great day.
The Festival of Dogs, in Shepton Mallet was my first outing with Jasper and Milo.
I was amazed at the number of dogs present; representing every shape, size, colour and breed imaginable. There were lots of humans, too!
The event was a great family day and a wonderful introduction to the world of dog events.
Jasper and Milo were very pleased to make their first contribution to charity and support the work of Forever Hounds Trust and Happy Landings.
Lynn will be having a live radio interview on 25th April 2017
My first attendance at an international book fair was the London International Book Fair, as an author! It was an amazing experience and I loved every minute of it. Not only was Jasper and Milo’s New Home on display but I was able to meet with a wide range of people from around the world.
As an author, I joined other authors, some very successful and well known, and others just starting out, like myself. We chatted about book promotions, fairs and sales as well as styles of writing and hopes for the future. In the Author’s Hub, I attended talks and panel discussions on a range of topics including social medial and the development of electronic books in the Asia market!
Ruby Wax paid a visit to the event to reinforce positive mental wellbeing. I had met Ruby previously, within the context of my substantive career in health service development, and she brought her high energy to the fair.
The floor area of Olympia is immense and each zone contained many stands covering all aspects of books, writing and reading. Quite overwhelming! Over the three days, I walked miles and battled with aching feet but it was all worth it. I learned so much that my head buzzed and I left feeling very energised and excited about the future.
Jasper and Milo’s New Home has/is attending the following International Book Fairs this year. I was not able to attend these in person but may be able to travel next year. I have been contacted by several people who would have liked to meet with me so who knows. This feels like just the beginning……………..
