Wigtown Mardi Gras

I got an email today from my mate, the Frootbat, who tells me:

The Wigtown International Book Fair & Festival of Book Towns is on from the 21st to the 23rd of May, with a 'Continental Market' being held each day. The Book Fair proper is on the Saturday and Sunday (www.wigtown-booktown.co.uk/IOB).

Bet your pulse is quickening already at the thought of that heady Wigtown bookfreak ambience....

If you detect a note of irony there, it's because we've been to this grand Scottish Booktown before and the visit did not live up to expectations. Hay-on-Wye it isn't, but that's not saying much either. Still, if the opportunity arises, I might give it another go.....
