Hey!

Writing this at what’s (for me at least) fairly tremendous speed as I’m about to shoot off out the door again, but I’ve just returned from a TERRIFIC school visit, this time to St Augustine’s, in Kilburn, London.

I was booked for two sessions, and spoke to around sixty Year 7 students in each. I also had the chance to chat to some fascinating Sixth Form students at lunchtime. I was enormously impressed throughout my time at this school. Despite it being quite a muggy and hot sort of a day everyone’s attention was impeccable, and the questions were just AWESOME! The standout one – and one of the weirdest for a while! – was “If Philip Pullman asked you for your autograph, what would you do?”

I don’t know. Probably giggle uncontrollably, like the total fanboy I am, and then sign whatever he liked of course. But (heh!) if it ever actually happens, I’ll be sure to let you know! 😉

My thanks to Ms Collins, and everyone I met at St Aug’s. I’m hoping to get the chance to come back for another visit later in the year. Looking forward to it already!
