This was Saddiq's first visit to Dove Cottage. He was intrigued by Wordsworth's home and excited because he'd read translations of his poems into Arabic. We decided to try to arrange an event for him there; this eventually took place during our World Poets' Tour in 2008- under radically different weather conditions!
