It has been fun and what I have been asked to do has been varied and challenging. On Wednesday I was in Beckenham delivering stories on an environmental theme following the Laudato si (the Pope&#8217;s environmental message from last year). I had the challenge of learning three new stories; one was a pretty lengthy one. There were a couple of lovely moments to treasure I just finished a story for the Infants about the Cracked Pot when a child asked a wonderful left field question that virtually undid the point of the story-that young man will go a long way! Another moment was me doing the Rabbits and the Elephants story and I had the whole group pretending to be\u00a0elephants and they were all making &#8220;Trump, Trump sounds-so I said it sounded like a Republican Rally!<\/p>\n<p>Thursday was back for my residency at Wick Court telling stories to a group of children from Peckham. I did a couple of old favourites\u00a0and also went back to the Shadow Cage which I will continue to develop for Telling.<\/p>\n<p>Today I was doing a combination of performing some stories and then I ran a four -hour workshop with the children getting them to be Story Tellers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it had to be Bob song for the title this week didn&#8217;t it after the Nobel Prize for Literature!
