After a tour of the castle & Hulne Abbey where The Poison Diaries is set we had a fantastic afternoon tea with lots of delicious cakes

Then we listened to the Duchess of Northumberland read the first chapter of Nightshade in an amazing library that we all wanted to bring home with us

Followed by dinner in the Treehouse restaurant - trust me the food was fab & we may have enjoyed a cocktail or two along with a glass of wine!
