Emma Purshouse

Thanks to everyone that came along, listened, asked questions, and bought books. What a lovely audience.

I love the Art Gallery too. I'm up there often and they have great stuff to see. It was just one of those days all round I think 😂

Went up Wolves today to get my dad some jeans. Couldn't find any, so I thought I'd go to the Art Gallery, but two rooms were closed and to go in two of the other rooms you had to pay, so that was all a bit of a fail 😂. But on the plus side I had some cake at K-Teas Cakes. Yum.

Poster advertising a poetry performance featuring Emma Purshouse and Steve Pottinger. K-Teas Cakes, 4 St Georges Parade, Wolverhampton WV2 1BA. Saturday 8th November from 3.00pm til 4.00pm.

Looking forward to this one already. K-Teas Cakes do fantastic cakes...yum!
