Every story has to start somewhere, as does every blog, so here we go... Welcome, wilkommen, namaste and croeso. I am so pleased that you have stumbled across this little corner of the internet and do hope you enjoy your time here. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be keeping up to date with all things literary at the Chester Literature Festival 2016. Today is the day when it all kicks off, so think of this as a modest foreword to what is shaping up to be a wonderful fortnight of poetry, comedy, storytelling and adventure. I am very much looking forward to watching Austentatious later - who knows what delights the Austen-based, improvised hilarity will bring us this evening? Tomorrow I better brush up on my facts; Simon Garfield is leading a workshop on Writing Non-Fiction. Skipping forward, I’ve heard on the weather forecast that there will be Fire in the North Sky on Thursday, as epic Finnish tales are told through voice, rhythm and song. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Join me as I am whisked across the world by words, songs and stories over the next few weeks. I must confess to being hopeless at map-reading, but the trip promises to take me to Shetland, Finland, the Himalayas, the Poles, and even the 1910s...All this whilst I stay within my familiar, humble hometown that is Chester. Next stop, Netherfield!

Good start to your blog Meg, as a matter of interest, whom would you like to have been for a day from Jane Austin's novels ?

That's a very good question! I would have to go with Jane Bennet...she is one of my all time favourites. If you could be any character from a book for a day, which would you choose and why?
