So today Tuesday 13th September 2016 marks 100yrs since Roald Dahl was born. I live practically around the corner from the Roald Dahl museum which is situated in the village where he lived and wrote for 36 years, yet have never been myself, I have certainly been inspired by so much of his work though. I remember reading … Continue reading Happy 100th Birthday Roald Dahl
