Oak Lodge
Oak Lodge is a special needs school quite close to where I live. I visited two classes of children last year which seemed to go down well, so this year the decision was taken to get a little more ambitious. We had a great time drawing Beaulieu the Hedgehog from my New Forest Friends books and then the children had been given the opportunity to buy signed copies of my books, which was a pleasing success. Thanks to all the staff and pupils, particularly Andrew Smart, for making me feel so welcome.
