Althorp Literary Festival

The postman has just delivered my ticket for the 9th Althorp Literary Festival, which is being held 15-17 June. I'm only going on the Saturday - I teach on Fridays and Sunday is Father's Day, so we shall be out somewhere blokey, I expect.

Althorp is only a few miles down the road, and is, of course, the Spencer family home. When I first visited it, Lady Raine was in the teashop. I remember thinking how much like a proper home it felt, despite the tourists traipsing through. It will be interesting to see how it compares now.

Anyone else going? I'll see you in the bookshop!
