I caught a glimse of the author who wrote Harold Macmillan, who had a nice line of fans when I came back to the marquee. Took a few pictures...
My second event of the day was Robin Waterfield, who wrote Dividing the Spoils. This was the first sit-in event in the Blue Boar lecture theatre. It was very interesting although I will admit I got very confused when it came to the names, even if Robin put the slide behind with everyones names. People's names back in the days all sounded the same, the only name I full understand was Alexander the great! ha. But if I was intellectual enough to understand classics it would have been fascinating. The questions asked after were very deep. No-one has written anything like it before and people were commenting on how amazing it was after. We had a little chat when he was signing books. Sadly I am coming down ill, have had a cold for the last week or so but it's progressed and I was coughing away. He didn't seem pleased to have me as his bookseller coughing away, he joked about having lots more talks to do and to not pass it on to him.
Running out of time before todays exciting events, so I will finish this later this evening or tomorrow (I may be going out later this evening till late so may not be able to blog tonight, but don't worry I make notes during the day, I wont forget a thing :D) Today is my last day of the Lit Fest! Sad times. So I will make sure I enjoy today immensely.
To all readers- hope you have a lovely sunny day
Over and Out
