Clunes Booktown Festival, A Three Day Picture-book Story

Friday, 2.00 pm, we are packed and ready to go …


Friday, 4.30 pm: The Marquees in the town’s main street are all set up, and we organize our stall in marquee “Q.”


Saturday just before sunrise our day begins, and the Festival is only a 20-minute drive away, and we meet the other vendors in our marquee.


Below: Stacey, Helena, Hollie & Rose, and fellow poet Jacinta & her baby


And we met many more other Authors on our walks around the festival.


Sunday was not as busy as Saturday, so I had more time to wander around and I took some photos, trying to capture the festival and the town’s charming country atmosphere …


Sunday, 4.30 pm: ” The carnival was over,” and it was time for us to pack up shop and head back home.

“Under One Roof”, the Indie Author Book Fair

The above 6 photos, were taken by Claudia Collins, my neighbouring book stall author, and a fellow ‘Geelong Writer’

I had a delightful time meeting many other Authors at today’s Book Fair, although a midday summer storm somewhat curtailed attendance.

The below 6 photos, were taken by myself.

After Midday

Featured Image Above: Frankie gives me that sad brown eyed doggie stare as I walk out the front door to go to the Book Fair at 7.30 this morning.

Setting our table displays up at 8.30 am … I’m ready for the 9.00 am start




After Midday


I’m not walking barefoot anymore

My old paws are too tender and sore

After attending the local bookstore

And there is no need to keep score

While time allows me to use the front door

I Found the Key in Shanghai  

Over at Weekly Prompts the Weekend Challenge is the word: Key. You can visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here






I Found the Key in Shanghai 


 
 
Will this be the key?  

To my writer’s beehive 

I am excited 

Expectations are high 

I am nervous 

An unknown poetry guy 


I am fully prepared 

The tummy is full of humble pie 

I am almost ready 

Do I wear a black tie?  

Or jeans, and a Leonard Cohen T-shirt  

That I found in Shanghai
