I said I would play catch up on my blogs so here is another one! To sum up the last couple of months on the Story Telling front. I had a busy end of Feb and the first couple weeks in March. It has been fun and a real mix of work. At several schools I had whole days telling a wide variety of stories. Many of these stories were new ones I had to learn which was fun and because schools asked for specific topics I also wrote 4 stories when I couldn’t find a story these were on evacuees, space, nursery rhymes and spiders. I was also asked to write a story for the education department at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge. I called it “Duck Soup” after the famous Marx Brothers film and last week I worked with the staff on how to tell it. It contains Maths problems to go with their Maths Trail-I now need to tidy it up after telling it a couple of times. One school asked me to do a Poetry Workshop and I have done training for parents as well (at a school and a nursery) which is an area I did expect to develop.

Football Tonight
Changing the subject all the press is full of a big football match tonight in Barcelona but they seem to have picked the wrong one to focus on! The big match of course is at Gateshead where the mighty Hatters are the visitors.We have hope again after our new manager has put some pride and determination in the troops! Wonderful on Saturday to see the ground almost full and rocking! Not bad for the Conference 8,400 + ! All those armchair supporters of Premier League teams have no idea of what real suffering as a fan is or the fun you have when something special happens! Renewing my Season Ticket this week. My fingers will be crossed tonight and I will be listening to this game not that insignificant game in Spain!
COME ON YOU SUPER HATTERS!!!!!!
