We had such a fabulous time on Wednesday evening when James McDermott visited us for a Nature Writing Workshop 💚

We don’t have many photos unfortunately - the group was so busy sharing amazing ideas and scribbling away that we didn’t dare interrupt their creative flow 😅 but we’d like to say a big thank you to those who attended, and thank you to James for taking the time to come along and lead the session!

If you’d like to try James’ work, we have his poetry collections in the library ready to borrow
