I had an amazing day at the Hythe Waterside Arts Festival on Saturday. People popped in and out of The Herald all morning to buy books and to chat to the authors. In the line-up this year, apart from me, were Cathy Woodman, best-selling author of a popular vet series, Suzan Houching, with her New Forest artist’s story, Gervase Gregory, another New Forest artist, Simon, with his amazing illustrations in the Ceratopia books and Martin Bradley, author and illustrator of the Sky Hunter Books.

The Festival took place between the 9th and 12th July but I think the best day to go was Saturday – “Family Fun Day”. The free open air entertainment started at 10am and included choirs, musicians, theatre, dancers, street entertainers, and a portrait painting workshop all day. There was even Hythe’s own Ukulele Group with Gervase Gregory as one of the players to entertain people in the street.
In the afternoon I took part in Hythe Library’s “Crafternoon” celebrations. It was a lovely big library, and there was room for all sorts of crafts. I’d like to say a big thank you to all the library staff for making everyone so welcome and for looking after us so well, and of course a big thank you to The Herald – I’m looking forward to the next one already!
