Out with the trowels!
Published on Tuesday 4 March 2014
According to the Met Office, it is now officially spring. Here in Nottingham, people seem to be walking with a lighter tread and there have been unambiguous sightings of sunshine. At our local Nature Reserve in Attenborough, skylarks are singing and certainly blossom is turning our city of lace into…a city of lace. For the gardeners among you, it is time to scrape last year’s mud off your trowels and start thinking about planting seeds. And even though, as Chaucer has it, people don’t start longing to go on pilgrimages until April, some of us are already raring to go to literary festivals. We’ll be looking in on States of Independence in Leicester on March 15th and in April visiting the Wenlock Poetry Festival, a great favourite. This year we’ll also be sharing a stand (G855) at the London Book Fair, and we look forward to seeing any of you there.
