I did suggest to the children they should try the Princess test and put a pea under a cushion but they declined! I know someone will say she is a Duchess but it is the same thing isn&#8217;t it? My contribution to this event was to clear away some stinging nettles on the previous day so she wouldn&#8217;t get stung! The place apparently was crawling with media and of course security. Michael Morpurgo read a story to the children and Kate, he was sitting in my Story Teller&#8217;s Chair! I did make a\u00a0comment about that to the children today!!!<\/p>\n<p>I missed the event because we had booked to go to London to see the Hockney Exhibition at\u00a0Tate Britain. \u00a0That was superb.\u00a0He is a fascinating artist who\u00a0experiments with\u00a0so many diverse mediums!<\/p>\n<p>I did tell stories in that Chair today! I tried out the Shadow Cage again it is a while since I told that one.\u00a0The picture below is me last week performing in Bristol Harbour to adults at Folk Tales\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1896\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=1896\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?fit=4896%2C3672&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4896,3672\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC01044 (2)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?fit=584%2C438&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1896\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?w=1168&amp;ssl=1 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC01044-2.jpg?w=1752&amp;ssl=1 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Finally the Radio Gloucestershire mention is because I was randomly interviewed today about my Story Telling as I was riding home.\u00a0It should be on tomorrow afternoon.
