It was only a few weeks ago! I gained so much from attending. Rennie, would be great to see you there at some point, who knows and Naomi thank you VERY MUCH indeed!Maria Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509743355972478865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259947748042848266.post-81351161754500713722014-11-26T10:33:08.063-08:002014-11-26T10:33:08.063-08:00Just a big thank you from The Poetry Trust for mak...Just a big thank you from The Poetry Trust for making the effort to come to this year's 26th APF and then for taking the time and trouble to post so comprehensively - and of course positively! - about your first experience of the Festival. What a lovely new blog to discover in these dark wet weeks following the excitement of the 7-9 November weekend. (P.S. Can't resist pointing out to Rennie above that Thomas Lux read at Aldeburgh last in 2000 - and I'm afraid most things have got more expensive in the last 14 years!) thanks again - NaomiNaomi Jaffanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259947748042848266.post-18280417429261936482014-11-26T10:19:00.455-08:002014-11-26T10:19:00.455-08:00I used to love going to Aldeburgh PF - but then i...I used to love going to Aldeburgh PF - but then it became too big and expensive! Glad you enjoyed it - and the 4 hour trip would be about right, it takes 3 from where I am... Thomas Lux was on when I went last, and he was brilliant.rennie parkernoreply@blogger.com
