BOOK BUSKING - MARCH 10TH

Whist Margareta might look a little lonely in this photo I can assure you she had plenty of people talking with her about the book, getting signatures and just simply chatting. There is a long seat just in front of where Margareta is sitting and there were groups of people there off an on throughout the morning. Our thanks to Margareta for being the first author to 'give it crack'.
