Join us to watch and listen to autumnal tales when the nights get darker and the people get closer. When the nights get darker, the tales get darker. Just ask to join #stories #storytelling #myth #magic #mystery #folk #folklore #fantasy #fiction #legend #history

Reworked an area of the garden so that when we are inside more, I have a magic view. I have been bad at gardening this year as I have been so busy. The trouble with being busy is that you don’t have time to look and search for the next project, so off I go, who needs a storyteller? #stories

I have just spent an amazing weekend @greenmanfest watching @ninawinderlind conquer the main stage for the @broadsidehacks Dylan tribute. Spent time with @tlloydwinder and @hugowinderlind and @matthewlloydwinder. Saw @daisyrickman #stories #Wales #hills #riverusk #music #magic #mystery #sharing

I am not terrified at all …… as @easfstory move forward to become a CIC and we take big adult steps forward. It is also exciting to be planning for next year with growth and development😀 #stories #storytelling #eastanglia #stowmarket #foodmuseum #storytellers #spokenword #myth #legend #folklore

How do people move a story forward? I have told the story of Eleanor Cobham, a woman accused of heresy and witchcraft in 1441, but it needs to be re-focused. Perhaps a bath and some thinking is needed…… #stories #storytelling #r#history #legend #folklore #mystery #heretic #astrology

Am working on my ‘Her-stories’ and my flying, galloping highway woman. I am re-working this and got stuck on the title! Procrastination, I walk with you and get lost with you and at present you lead me up the garden path! #stories #storytelling #planning #titles #myth #legend

Our last session of the year as we gently wind down and run for the summer hills, valleys or beaches of our dreams.
Just ask to join to watch and listen. #storytelling #myth #magic #mystery #witches

@marionleeper8 and I had a brilliant day yesterday planning the future of @easfstory as I steps quietly and carefully into her shoes as director. I have now been educated in the planning year!!! Big panic now….am I up to the job? Only time will tell. 😊🎩💚#stories #storytelling #myth #magic

Up early and working when it’s cool! Reworking of The Buried Moon that was told for @easfstory @foodmuseumuk. It’s a story from #EastAnglia and it would be good to draw together the stories

My favourite tree in the gentle evening light when it was still a bit hot for a dog in a fur coat. This is the tree the highway woman hid. Clear the desk to start the story 😊🎩💚 #stories #storytelling #hertfordshire #ghosts #fairies #witches #hoydens #history #myth #legend #folklore #music #song

What a mad few weeks and now I have had to stop. My body has given out on me and I am having a few days off to recover. I was supposed to be going to @thunderstealing but I won’t be there. Have a great time hope to see people on the story road soon 😊🎩💚 #stories #storytelling #myth #folklore #fantasy

Slow start because there is so much to do and I need to organise my mind. Sometimes it is instant but today the reorganisation is taking time. Words flow slowly and thoughts flit. Recording a story 😊 #story #storytelling

Beautiful dappled sunshine in the wood. I walked and thought and taught. Lovely day and magically quiet.

Take a bunch of storytellers and make them and their bouquet of accents travel far and wide. Today we are in Kilkenny at the Hole in the Wall. The stories will flow and the magic will be created #stories #storytelling #Ireland #kilkenny #magic #mystery #myth #legend #folklore #history

Great @folklorepod.bsky.social of #BramStoker and #Devon connections. Loved the gentle chat of the podcast as I listened today and as usual it was a great listen. You should hear the storyteller #eimearburke tell the story of the original Irish Vampire. Back to work #stories #storytelling #folklore

Some weeks can have more journeys and adventures than others. So many different people and places this week and it has been fun but exhausting! #stories #storytelling #people #places

Dancing flutes of magnolia are making my day 😊

Tomorrow, Sunday 30th. Mothers assemble, but what sort of mothers are these? Big boots, large ladles and a good turn of phrase. Join me for some stories, some smiles and a good afternoon.

It’s the ‘Buried Moon’ story from Lincolnshire. Different versions are about now but they all go back to 1 Victorian collection. Bit like the Green Children of Woolpit perhaps
