The fine covering of snow was slowly melting in the early morning sun, throwing spray onto my windscreen as I drove up the M5 to Oldbury Library the morning. The windscreen wash ran out as I slid across the icy carpark. Luckily there was a big Sainsburys close by where gallon bottles of screen wash were for sale.

I had great sessions in Oldbury and had one of the longest sausages in the world for lunch. Many thanks to all the Library Girls!

I decided sausages might be a good discussion topic for my blog, do this evening I’m having another, in a Yorkshire pudding in Haworth, up on the wild, windy moor in Bronte country.

I’m here to open the new School Library to
Orris, both an honour and a pleasure. I drove across the moor inthe dark, all the time wanting to sing Kare Bush’s Heathcliffe song. Is hard to tellehst Howarth I’d like in the dark.
