Had to have that title after a new story I told yesterday. I was in my local school all day telling a variety of stories. One class were doing the “Sun, Moon and Earth” so I found a delightful folk tale from Taiwan that did have what could be said to be a dark side to it, well it had a lot of blood. I had a lovely day and was pleased how some of my tellings have developed. I am growing very fond of my Harriet my Hippo story and really must try to get illustrations for it and see if I can get it published.

Children are back at Wick Court after the half term break (2 weeks without children ) so off later to do my birdwatching with a school from Fulham.
