Late but worth it!

Saved this blog entry for my visit Badminton Horse Trials and what it provides for any writer looking for characters to populate your novels and short stories. You can glean so much from so many people and all in one place at one time. Never miss an opportunity to go to places where you'll see/meet people you wouldn't normally.
