On Saturday 28th March Ian and I set off to the retail park on teeside. We estimated that we might sell as many books as we did in Gateshead. It was a rainy day and I wondered if the weather affected the shoppers.
The staff in Borders were absolutely lovey. Helen was the events manager and she looked after us briliantly. Other staff too were so friendly. Had a very ineresting discussion on Christianity v Paganism with one!
The selling went brilliantly. Loads of children and a great location at the top of the stairs in the children's department. Met some great people. A dramatic lady who talked for ages! A lady who bought a copy for her mother! And some great children including Lola, Olivia and Amber who wrote me stories and emailed them to me.
We sold 28 books and they took 16 for stock. We left on a real high and are arranging to go back again.
I love doing it with Ian. He's a real encouragement to me and very good at teaching me how to approach people and start talking.
