London and Manchester Pictures

October 30, 2011

On my recent trip through southern Africa and the United Arab Emirates I was lucky enough to be able to stop in London and Manchester on my way home to visit some great bloggers. Iris of Iris on Books met me in London and we stopped by and visited the ladies at Peirene Press, one of my favorite publishers, for lunch.

From there we went to Manchester and stayed with Ana of Things Mean a Lot for a few days. She showed us around the city, took us to great old bookstores and historic libraries. It was a really fantastic time. Jodie of Book Gazing also popped down to visit.

We met up with Simon of Savidge Reads as well but sadly forgot to take a picture!

Again, a huge thank you to everyone I saw and especially Ana for hosting. So fantastic to meet bloggers in person – especially these fantastic people!
