Had a lovely day at St Matthew’s in Stroud performing. A lovely school and a warm welcome before I started.I kicked off with my story Harriet the Hippo, quite pleased with it and it always surprises me how much I adjust a story because of the reaction of an audience. My throat was feeling it at the end-I maybe over did the Anansi voice!

I’ve pedaled a few miles this week-well over 100 miles. I went a forlorn pedal to see a Wryneck at Berkeley Shore; of course there was no sign, it has been very visible this week!

I’ve decided to give the Hatters a miss tomorrow, mainly because of all the travelling back and forth to the Literature Festival. I hope I don’t jinx them by not going! Another Story Teller tonight doing Morgan Le Fay.
