What a jolly morning I’ve had, judging the kids’ short story competition that Woodbridge Library has been running alongside this summer’s Reading Challenge. The theme for both was The Creepy House , and the stories were all so great it was hard to choose between them: huge amounts of beautifully descriptive writing and some very weird happenings indeed. We have a horde of budding writers in Woodbridge.

I can’t wait till the Awards ceremony on Sunday, when there will be creepy balloons and creepy awards for all and some very very VERY creepy crawly visitors..
