BROWNIES doing their Booklover Badge had a helping hand from a visiting author.

Jayne Woodhouse, from Salisbury, dropped in on the girls of the 2nd Winterbourne Brownies to share some thoughts on writing and her books.

Woodhouse, author of the Stephensons’ Rocket and And Rocky Too, also teaches creative writing in Salisbury.

For details of her new course, starting in April, email jayne.woodhouse26@btinternet.com.
