During the last 2 days I've been touring libraries in Lancashire for the Shout About Books festival, as the finale to a fun-packed, whirl-wind of a week.
At 7.15pm last night, a taxi from the station finally deposited me back at home, and it was like someone suddenly pulled the plug. After a glass of wine and a bit of telly, I was fit for nowt: early night. zzzzzzzzzz...I'm having my hair cut first thing this morning (the hedgehog needs regular trimming) and then, unfortunately, I have to get my newly-cropped head down for the rest of the day, working on the scans for Bears on the Stairs. I'm hoping it won't take all of Sunday too, especially as I have to prepare for another week of travels. We'll see.
By the way, this hairdressing illustration is from Bad Hare Day and I based Herbert Hare's salon on my actual hairdressers, so this morning, I am that anteater!
Sorry there's no time for more tales of my Lancashire adventures yet - if I get all my work done, I'll give you the highlights tomorrow afternoon.

I've loved following you through your busy week -- glad you made it past the cold you thought you might have picked up on Tuesday. I've just now read your post (ironically titled 'When you're not looking') as I was too busy to read it yesterday -- doing nowhere near half of what you managed to fit in! Your work is absolutely delightful...
Hi Lynne
good to hear that you've had a good book week - I've been dragging a cold around with me too (they always come when you want them least). Lots of kids at one of the schools I visited had seen you at Chorley Library last year and they were telling me all about you while we looked at "An Itch..."
