The Festival brochures are out - and Brian Cox is already sold out!
I've got my eye on a couple of the less charismatic events - but do I go for Romans or Anglo-Saxons at 4pm on Friday 27th? Both seem promising - as does Phil Rickman with two other crime/thriller writers, one of whom sets their books in deepest Norfolk. I'll be trotting up to the Festival office tomorrow to see what's still available.
Meanwhile, others around town are preparing for the Festival in their own ways. Shelley will be cooking evening meals. "Just for four," she said, but she's doing a lot of the cooking in advance, which means her freezer is now full to overflowing. I met her coming up the road with a couple of big containers wrapped up in silver foil. A friend of her's has freezer space, but they weren't going to be meeting up today - so she asked Tom the butcher if she could use some of his freezer space. He was quite happy to accommodate her, so she was taking the meals round when I saw her. "You wouldn't get that at Waitrose," she said.

If this arouses any interest, the menu will be posted outside the venue (a house on Bridge Street) daily. Three courses, but bring your own alcoholic beverage! If you fancy what is on offer that day, ring the bell and book yourself in!
