We knew rain was forecast this afternoon so it was a morning spent in the garden redoing a flower bed. Body is feeling it now!<\/p>\n
Busy on learning and writing stories as suddenly it all seems to be taking off again. You don’t realise what you forget with what is really a year off! I know I have had some sporadic moments and I have recorded a few stories for libraries and schools. I also did a couple of outdoor gigs in August standing a long way from a socially distanced audience. I do have a good resource of stories that I tell so it has been enjoyable being reacquainted with them! I worry that my vocabulary has diminished with lack of use! I am currently writing a new story for young children for one of the schools who asked for a story on a specific theme. Fingers crossed I can still do it! Watch this space!<\/p>\n
