Went through snow and ice to be there on time – at the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green – to read to some children from Alexandra Primary School. I don’t know about them – but I hugely enjoyed myself.

I read a few poems from Roald Dahl and got quite carried away with over-acting. We had a good chat too! National Storytelling Week was the reason. Three cheers for the Big Green Bookshop – the best community bookshop there is. (And you can read their blog post about it here.)

Later met with the Rabbi at Muswell Hill Synogogue and visited with the Shabat nursery class – which is clearly a huge success with local families and looked great fun.; visited doctors concerned about how to influence patient care at the new Hornsey Hospital if you are one of the practices not moving in (which is the vast majority); met with a journalist and then did an interview with Art Attack – a new radio station / program based at Camden’s Roundhouse.
