**Community Kettle - Interest Talks - Tuesday 17th September - Claire Gradidge**

Every third Tuesday of the month, we invite someone to talk about a topic that we hope you will find interesting.

This month, we were delighted to welcome a local fiction author, Claire Gradidge. Claire's success came later on in life and her big message was to never give up on your dreams. Her talk was incredibly interesting and she shared some of her local historical research with us. 

Claire has 3 crime novels published which are set in Romsey and the surrounding areas in the 1940s. Her first book 'The unexpected return of Josephine Fox' was a winner of the Richard & Judy search for a Bestseller Competition.

Thank you for entertaining us Claire, I know Lucy can't wait to get stuck into your books!
