Happy memories of interviewing Simon Parker at Ilkley Literature Festival on Saturday! Thanks to The Grove Bookshop for the images. Simon certainly won the audience over when he told them the Yorkshire Dales was his favourite national park. @ilkleylitfest @GroveBookshop #ilkley

I have accidentally engineered a circumstance where every time I do an event at @GroveBookshop, @DevaneEmily makes me a book-themed cheesecake and it’s quite the most wonderful thing. Last night I got this glorious one, along with a packed house and a brilliant audience. 🍪🩵

[The Grove Bookshop @GroveBookshop]

@ilkleylitfest That's just made our day! Of course, we'd be honoured 💘

[The Grove Bookshop @GroveBookshop]

Wishing all our customers a very Happy Christmas and a bookish 2025.
