Thank you very much to everyone Bookmark & Gail Wylie for a warm welcome and wonderful festival visit! A pleasure to be chatting with @AllanRadcliffe & Louise Welsh on your gorgeous floral stage! 📚🌸


First day of Bookmark & what a treat it was. Can't wait for Mollie Hughes next book & to have more of her insights on fear & isolation. Lots to think about re: family, memories, & changing Scotland from Zoe Strachan, @AllanRadcliffe & Louise Welsh. Many pages of notes 😍
