.NANNA STRAWBERRY REMEMBERS SHETLAND PIP...and his young riders
Nanna Strawberry hoped to see you at SEDBERGH LATE NIGHT OPENING Wednesday
5th December, but was regrettably prevented from doing so due to unforseen circumstances
during the day, which caused her great disappointment about missing this festive occasion and
a very pleasant evening thanks to the kind hospitality of Sue and Matt.
Some people were disappointed not to be able to buy a signed copy of book 11 launched today,
Nanna Strawberry Remembers Shetland Pip...and his young riders
Please contact her at nannastrawberrystories@gmail.com if you would like to order a copy for
delivery asap.
Thanks to Peter Hartley, Stramongate Press, for printing and delivering in time for Santa's visit.
About the story.....
The Wilson family visit a horticultural show, where Daddy buys each of them a ticket for the
'WIN A PONY FOR A SHILLING' raffle.
The children spend the evening eagerly awaiting delivery of their prize pony ! Until they were told
that someone else had won it. By chance, next day in local Echo, Daddy read that a shetland
pony was for sale, quite near home too. The story describes what happened next

Southport Book shop
It was very interesting to see proprietor, Kate, within the crowded walls of her
fascinating book shop, describing the sale at last of a long stored book.
Kate displays a selection of Nanna Strawberry stories on her children's book shelves
and author Audrey Wilson hopes it will not take over 30 years to sell them. Please pop
along and buy one at the first chance you get. Lovely little books in a lovely book shop
which is a treat to visit.
Well done Kate !

Visit to St Barnabas Primary School, Warrington
Nanna Strawberry spent a very happy afternoon with Year 5 and Miss Callaghan at
St Barnabas Primary School, Warrington, yesterday. Just the visit to one class on this
occasion, so time to read several stories and to re-enact the Queen's accession to the
throne on the death of her dear father, King George VI. There were some amusing
stories from boys and girls about their experiences when crab fishing in various parts of
the country. The afternnon concluded with a superb performance by Class 5 of
'The Nightmare Man'. Sincere thanks to Miss Callaghan, her assistant, and all pupils.

Visit to Park View Primary School
Nanna Strawberry has experienced a lovely day amongst the lovely pupils at Deans Trust
Park View Primary School, albeit a challenging day too amongst these responsive children.
During morning assembly, the children had the opportunity to choose how they would call their
visitor. Nanna Audrey, Mrs Wilson or NannaStrawberry and much to her delight, it was their
unanimous decision to call her Nanna Strawberry. Always her favourite choice on these occasions.
Especially when the name was sustained all day, even when passing in school corridors.
Sincere thanks to Mrs Daly who liaised with Nanna Strawberry and all school staff who gave
friendly support during visits to their individual classes. Special thanks to the courteous Head Girl
and Head Boy who with unfailing promptness ensured that Nanna Strawberry was in the correct
class at the correct time and assisted with the transportation of book luggage.
Book orders are purely optional, but Nanna Strawberry looks forward to receiving orders with
payments for any of her books, which she will be very happy to sign in the name of the pupil and
return to school for distribution. £1 from each order will be donated by the author to school funds.
£3.99 ea or 3 for £10.
Book list in letter with order form, distributed to pupils by school staff for attention of parents.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS AT SEDBERGH BOOK FESTIVAL
My thanks to Heather, Project Manager, Sedbergh Book Festival, for starting my 83rd
birthday by assisting me to transport my Nanna Strawberry display items to Sedbergh
Public Library where I was going to launch Book 10
Nanna Strawberry Remembers Key Fishing...and heroic Grandad
sequel to book 9 Nanna Strawberry Remembers Crabbing... which ended with an
unexpected outcome to a family crabbing fun day at New Brighton boating lake.
My display looked very festive with birthday strawberry shaped balloon floating above everything,
and all the other gifted strawberry themed novelty items amongst the choice of ten books
completed to date from the total of twelve which are planned.Only two to go!
As Publisher, I thank Stramongate Press for their professional production of Book 10.
It was a welcome surprise to see great granddaughters Sophie and Olivia arrive early with
their parents. They thoroughly enjoyed looking through the library's book box. Sedbergh
Facebook page shows them with Nanna Strawberry. On this occasion, baby Lyla was having
a sleepy lie in. Visitors Erin and Esme arrived next with their Daddy and left bearing a copy of
Book 6, about The Young Queen in 1952. Two year old Jessica, in company with her parents,
enjoyed a book reading involving guess work about the titles of several well known Fairy Tales,
and Jessica successfully guessed each correctly! She hopes to own the full set of Nanna
Strawberry Stories one day. Jessica left with four for now, including the Crabbing and Key Fishing
stories, to go with Book 1,The Magical Naming of Nanna Strawberry, bought some time ago.
Jessica plans to buy book 4, Nanna Strawberry Shares Christmas With an Angel.... at DUO
on Sedbergh's special late night opening 5th December.
So Nanna Strawberry had a lovely time in Sedbergh Public Library, before meeting up with her
family to enjoy an 83rd birthday meal with them. Many had travelled from St Helens, Glazebury
and Great Sankey, other live nearby. Our thanks to Sue, Matt and Amy at DUO for their
relaxing venue and great food. The fascinating talk byYorkshire Shepherdess, Amanda Owen,
at People's Hall 7.30pm was a splendid conclusion for Nanna Strawberry author Audrey
Wilson on completing her 83rd circuit of the sun. It was 4th during her first visit to Sedbergh.
