The Two Moons Festival kicked off with a particularly pertinent author visit! Gill Arbuthnott’s new book, Balloon to Moon, explores the Moon landings and is due to be published in June to commemorate 50 years since the momentous event of man’s first steps on the lunar surface.

As well as talking about her own memories of watching Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk on a small black and white TV, Gill also shared tips for writing non-fiction and the importance of excellent information skills.
