It is now three weeks and 24 hours before Scarborough Flare kicks off (www.scarboroughflare.co.uk) and a little bird tells me that tickets are going fast. My ‘Taking Tea with Edith Sitwell’ is almost sold out! Good old Edith, she can still pull in the crowds.

Don’t miss out. There are also some great writing workshops to encourage our natural storytelling imperatives and nurture our creativity.
