Well I got to the weekend after a really busy week and I am feeling it now! Tuesday involved a lot of travelling on the motorway in heavy rain- I visited the village of Kings Bromley just north of Lichfield. I was storytelling at the primary school in the afternoon and then at the arts partnership in the evening. I mainly told some old favourites.

Wednesday was my weekly bird watching at Wick Court this time with young people from Gloucester. They were a young group who did really well in wet and windy conditions. their enthusiasm was contagious!

Thursday night we did some recording with the Two Severn Bores- we are looking to put together a short promotion podcast to help us secure some new venues to perform.

Friday was all action- storytelling in two schools in the North of the county (it was my third successive visit- always encouraging to be asked back). It provided us with a logistical challenge because the car was in the garage!

Today has been a let down with the Mighty Hatters giving a ponderous performance at Plymouth. I went looking for a starling murmuration to cheer me up but with the strong bitter wind it didn’t materialise!
