| The lovely John Keeling |
I'll also have just 10 of my books, which I managed to beg, borrow and steal from the publishers to be signed, I did my first signing at Ilkley Literary Festival last week but I haven't had a chance to blog about that yet, it's all coming along with news from across the pond at GABF as well.
Anyway, here is what I'm putting up against the might of the narky Manc! I really hope given the breadth of choice I had available to me that I do justice to Angus's lovely food.

I think most of those will work really well, those desserts both sound amazing. Will be interesting to see how the liberty stands up to the duck.
Sounds lovely, and all soudns perfect - kudos for devils on horseback, too - not something you see often!
