It has been a bit of a social whirl the last couple of days. But I will start with the Story Telling. I did an evening performance at Wick Court on Tuesday with the children I had been bird watching with earlier in the day. Lovely children who were full of enthusiasm. For the stories I did a simple bird one, followed by Odysseus (I was asked for a Greek story earlier in the day), finishing with the Sleeping King. Good to have that slot before bed time it does add to the atmosphere. Clare has given me back my story Dreams with a couple of suggestions for development. So will work on that over the next month or so. I’ve got a couple of interesting gigs coming up this month one at the WWT and another at a library.

Wednesday was my social day! I cycled over the top to meet Mick (fellow Hatter) for lunch. It was our annual pre-season natter and catch up. Last night was our Book Club meal at our Forest of Dean venue! Laurie was an excellent host and the meal theme was Turkish to fit with our next read “My Name is Red”. Wonderful array of food and drink as always!
