It has been such a blast this mini tour of Lancashire libraries and community spaces with Ada and her story, The Seven Ravens. We have been hosted by the SpotOn, Lancashire’s rural and library touring network. This morning saw our fifth performance to an audience of 33 parents, carers and children in Skelmersdale Library followed by a smashing welcome in the afternoon at Parbold Library.

I also had an exceptional breakfast bap at Thirsty & Co at Dangerous Corner in Appleby Bridge. This brings me to the spectacular scenery I have been driving through – I had forgotten how stunning the Lancashire countryside is! We have two more shows tomorrow at Mill Hill Library and The Dog Inn at Belthorn and then I will be facing my little van northwards again.
