🇫🇷 What a buzz to host 40 pupils from Bordeaux in @marshslibrary.bsky.social These second year pupils from Assomption Sainte Clotilde have been reading #TheDoomsdayClub in class and were full of questions on the book, the writing process and everything in between.

Day One of #TheDoomsdayTour is complete!

I got to visit the incredible kids at my old primary school and even bumped into my old teachers! Also happened upon a poem that I wrote in 2nd class which was dated 3-3-95…thirty years ago today! 🤯
