Dad's 60 today - PENBLWYDD HAPUS Dad!

A total change from yesterday, and this evening I went over to Catwg Primary School in Catwg near Neath to give copies of the book to the Women's Institute, who are also helping us to distribute the Quick Reads books.

When I arrived to meet Pam Muir from the WI, I wasn't expecting to see so many people - there must have been about 100 ladies in the school hall!

The WI are going to read the books themselves, and pass them on to friends and relatives whom they think may enjoy the books. Groups in Aberystwyth and Caernarfon have also done this. One lady told be she thought she's pass her book to her mother, who used to love reading, but now had Alzheimer’s disease. She can no longer manage more than a few pages of a book, but she thought perhaps she would enjoy one of the Quick Reads and be able to finish it.
