I am so busy with my tour of Sheffield Schools that I forgot to mention that I was on the radio again on Wednesday evening talking about on of my all time favourite adult fiction novels: The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell. If you would like to listen you can go to their website by clicking here: Radio Veralum. You then need to follow this route: 
​Listen again
On programme schedule, click on Local Life
When it gets to next screen, click on Listen Previous
When that opens, you can slide along to any point in the programme. (It will start at some point within the 7o'clock news).

Thank you to everyone who is busy entering the competition to rename Scruffy the dog in the competitions page.

I am not allowed to contact children directly (I am able to contact parents/carers) so please don't worry if you don't get an email back. I have received your entries and will be making my decision on Scruffy's new name on 20 December, but I will need an email address of a PARENT/CARER in order to respond to you. 

If you are under 16 you must have permission from a parent/carer to enter the competition and use their email address so that I can contact you through them.

I am sorry if this causes a problem and I am loving the names that are coming in, so please keep them coming!
