As I sat curled up with my book in Storyshack yesterday I was missing some imagineers making but it gave me a good reason to read 'The Lion of Sole Bay' by Julia Jones. This is her fourth book and, although it has the characters from the previous adventures you don't need to have read the 'Strong winds' Trilogy to read this one.  It's all about THE RED LION so if you're familiar with that pub this will reveal much exciting history about the area and all sorts of mystery and adventure. Not only is it set around here (Martlesham Creek and the Deben) but also it takes place at this time of year too. What more could you want of a half term/into November read.  You DO NOT need to know anything about sailing to like this book either-you just need to like a GOOD STORY with modern day characters you may well recognise. 


It was a bit of an odd day yesterday so it was rather lovely to be lost in a books for a while. I was conscious that I had lots of requests about opening in the holidays but that was before the wind blew and cut this whole area off for a wee while. It was a bit difficult to communciate what was going on so I'm wondering if any of you out there have thoughts/ideas on venue/s for winter storyshacking. It's great for the summer but winter is a great time to lose yourself in book making and reading somewhere warm. Unfortunately the Storyshack barn is absolutely wonderful but possible couldn't be described as warm when the winter sets in! We need to have nimble fingers when we're booking making and doing some tricky, intricate stuff BUT I'm very keen to run some workshops - particularly before Christmas because you could make some books as gifts for other people too :-) If your imagineer thinking cap is raring to go then let me know via the contact form or my e mail address. I'd love to hear from you.
