Looking back at festival moments always makes us smile.
Great conversations, generous invitations, and the chance to share stories with readers and fellow writers.
We’ve been very lucky.

Dylan our dog took us on patrol today and uncovered… sheep showing off fresh summer haircuts and a rabbit casing out a garden. 🐑🐇 No crimes reported – unless you count sheep streaking!

And who knows… one thing led to another. Maybe it will again 👀
