BOOKSHOP VISIT

On Tuesday 10th March Steve and myself visited, Wenlock Bookshop, (www.wenlockbooks.co.uk) in the beautiful Shropshire village of, Much Wenlock. We were invited by Anna, the owner of the bookshop, to meet Hope, Freddie, Rachael, Lydia, Jacob and Oliver from the children’s Poetry Club.

The children then made up their own poems before creating colourful chalk pastel illustrations to go with them. We all got a bit messy with the chalks but had a fun time.
