~Author Sophie Neville with her curious creature~
I am excited about taking a gang of friends to the Curious Arts Festival in the New Forest on the south coast of England - a fabulous event for anyone who loves books, music and the great outdoors, along with a few exotic cocktails and eccentricities thrown in.
We are hoping to be able to listen to authors Joanna Trollope and Rick Stroud talk about their new books before spending the afternoon foraging in the grounds of Pylwell Park where the event is taking place. I'm please so say I can take the dog.
They also have the playwright Christopher Hampson, Historian Peter Frankopan who has bought out an aclaimed book on 'The Silk Roads', Dave Eggars from San Francisco, bestselling author Matt Haig, Murray Lachlan Young, journalist Lynn Barber, Vendala Vida, Eimear McBride, andrew O'Hagan, poet Max Wallis, Daniel Cole, Richard Beard, Jess Kidd, Hari Kunzru, Bella Pollen, Robert McCrum, Tom Hocknell, the Emergency Poet and many others will be speaking about their books.

Some people make a long weekend and camp for two nights. We are taking gumboots and a selection of hats so that we can enjoy a day that promises to end with comic entertainment and the legendary John Illsley of Dire Straits fame playing in a circus tent.
