Here at Writers Bloc, like the Vengaboys, we like to party. Sometimes it’s nice to get out from behind the desk and meet other writers. And what better excuse to do that than a sunny day, book swapping and hanging out in the park?

The following is a loosely based recount of the days frivolity.

Getting ready for the day with some crafternooning in the morning!

Thank you to all that came along. It was such a lovely day. We were really lucky with the weather and the company was just as sterling. See you all at the next bloc party in March/April. Also, check out the blog this morning as we’ll be uploading the results of our story trail. They’re equal parts hilarious and concerning.

Happy reading.
