Had a lovely two days in Hereford Story Telling for the National Literacy Trust. On Monday Morning I told Mog The Baker’s Cat one of my favourite stories from Necklace of Raindrops to Y1 children. In the afternoon I had children from Y1 to Y6 so had to revert to one of my “pantomime” stories my own Pirate Pete-because I was performing this in a public area (Costa in the Odeon Cinema) I had several adults listening who came up to me afterwards telling me how much their enjoyed the story. Ironically the school on Tuesday morning where I did Japanese Folk tales remembered Pirate Pete from the previous year.

Now preparing poems for Friday’s Gig!
