We’re kicking off our return on 3 Dec with Deborah Hyde, who’ll talk about Krampus and the folklore that shadows St Nicholas. A great way to restart a long-running tradition.

There is a great cauldron in a Surrey Church. But was it from a witch or the fairies? www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhdH...

On Saturday I saw lots of lovely familiar faces at Wycombe Paracon, and I got to talk about the Green Children of Woolpit, video series here tinyurl.com/y67646zs Thanks to Stevyn Colgan for the piccie.
The Green Children of Woolpit: Episode One
Were the twelfth century villagers of a Suffolk village visited by the fairies? The Green Children of Woolpit is a popular and mystifying legend. In the first part of this series we look at this (slightly differing!) story from two medieval chroniclers. There are other episodes - look out for them as they come!
