Memories of Wigtown
10/10/2008 send to a friend
This time last week I was on the tracks and heading for the home of Heather, Pete and Zoe Bestel. These friends of mine – and firm friends of Enterprise Nation – put me up for the night and put on a great show at the Wigtown Book Festival. Here are the images. Memories of their idyllic home (and home office) will be slow to fade.
‘Spare Room Start Up’ travels to the Wigtown Book Festival
Thanks again to the Bestels for providing the warmest of hospitality. Check out images of their house and ‘The Hut’ at Reading Lasses where we spent an hour talking books and home business. Lovely!

Comment: Emma, I Hope that your arm was dropping off with signing all those books. It looks absolutely gorgeous where you were. I dream of a rural idyll but for now, it is suburbia!

You're very welcome to come and stay and enjoy the peace and quiet anytime you like.
In fact, you and Emma could come up together and have a good old girlie weekend. Bring your wellies!
