It was a perfect evening in the garden of the Cinema Bookshop. Not so many people came as last year, but that was probably because Gay-on-Wye were holding an event at more or less the same time. Some people went to both!
I think we probably had the superior nibbles, though - with an Asian theme. I've never been a fan of tofu, but the little squares with decorative bits on top, served on a little bamboo spoon, were delicious, as was the spicy aubergine - and everybody loved the little Scotch eggs!
The conversation was fascinating, too - I ended up talking about the history of marmalade with a Portuguese lady who lives in London. And I solved the mystery of the cat who visits my garden, when I had a chat with his owner, who is a close neighbour (and also a bookseller). Bob used to visit the previous ladies at the almshouses, so I'm very happy to carry on the tradition.
