A book signing with Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen to celebrate the new revised and extended publication of Writing in the Sand – first published in 2000.

Writing in the Sand is a celebration of the life of beaches in the North East of England, captured between 1973 and 1998.

‘The sandy beaches of North East England are beautiful… the high-spirited happenings are spontaneous, generous acts of Geordie exuberance. Here you find yourself laughing with your fellow creatures; and before you know it, you too have been transformed into a child, adding your antics to the array of contented eccentricity.’
