Apologies for the paucity of blogs since the turn of the year. Just back from a gig in Cheltenham today. I was asked to do tales from the sub continent and also Sri Lanka. Took a while to find the right story for Infant age children from Sri Lanka. Found one with a Jackal and a Hare. Enjoyed learning it and my telling improved as the day went on (I had to tell to three different groups).

Busy on several fronts with both my voluntary commitments and preparing stories for telling. Haven’t been able to write for a few days.

I did give Mr Gove a warm welcome to Stroud on Friday. In light of his making the First World War a political football (silly man). I carried a banner saying “Lions led by a Donkey!” You probably have guessed he is not my favourite person!
