There's still no news of the programme for the 2015 Agatha Christie Festival, so I thought I'd do a bit of reminiscing about what we got up to last year.
It was
amazing! I absolutely loved it!
We set off on the Saturday with a festival programme and plan of action in hand, and headed down to the sunny English Riviera.

We stayed in a place called Hesketh Crescent - a beautiful Regency Grade II building, overlooking Meadfoot Beach. The Lucy family - who were friends of Agatha's - used to live there. Agatha even received a proposal from Reggie Lucy in 1911 - but she didn't marry him.
Just think, if she had, she would never have been called Agatha Christie - she might never have written any books!! Oh, it doesn't bear thinking about!

| The Christie Dancers |
There was a Vintage Fair at Torre Abbey on the Sunday. On our way we passed through Princess Gardens, where they were having a fete. There were loads of stalls - including book stalls and cakes stalls. There was also a band, singers and The Christie Dancers! Lots of people were dressed in 1920s/1930s outfits. It felt like we'd been transported back in time. There was such a good atmosphere.
After we'd had a look round, we carried on walking to Torre Abbey - where we caught our first glimpse of Hercule Poirot!
