After a two-year break, the Jericho Writers
Festival of Writing was back and it was bigger and better than ever
before. While it was initially overwhelming to be with 400 people in one
place, after only interacting online for so long, the weekend was a huge success.
I'll let the photos tell the story. Apologies for the non-chronological order and the lack of tags.

Love this! It was the best of weekends!
It really was! So lovely to meet you there.
Great photos. Great festival. Can’t believe I didn’t spot Emma and she was in the front row of the photo!
Ha! How on earth did you miss her? Mind you, it was Saturday night, so ...
Wow! That's fun! It seems you enjoyed a lot :)
