An Awfully Big Blog Adventure: Folly Farm


This would normally be my Folly Farm post.

Friday got off to a great start with a quiz from Jo Franklin, lots of relaxed chat and so many boxes of chocolates we could barely see one another over them. Saturday started in traditional fashion with early morning stretches led by Camilla Chester, followed by the world’s biggest cooked breakfast, and the ever-popular Tracy Darnton writing bootcamp. 

 Then my husband phoned with the news that our beloved big cat had suddenly collapsed and died. I have to thank the Folly Farmers who hugged me, cried with me and immediately got me sorted out with train and taxi home. 

So I missed the firepit and marshmallows, the readings, the workshops on thriller writing, TV scripts, the creative meditation.

I’m a bit behind on my writing targets this week, as you can imagine. 

 But seriously, if you’re a member of the Scattered Authors and haven’t been to Folly Farm, it is a wonderful weekend, full of good food and convivial company. And if you’re not a member, the Scattered Authors is open to all traditionally published children’s authors in the UK and it’s a great source of advice, support and friendship. You can find all the details here: https://scatteredauthors.org/

I’ll leave you with a picture of Tallis in his favourite spot in the garden.
