Story-soaked holiday
August 25, 2019
Trips to North Wales are always special for me. My aunt and uncle live in Snowdonia and it’s always been one of my favourite places in the world.

Maps, Time Machine,Comics, Hat; GO.
May 24, 2019
So as we slide into a glorious sunny spring weekend, it’s just hit me: where has May gone?! (That’s not a reflection on the current UK news, either; I’m honestly surprised to find we’re nearly at the end of the month already.) I suspect part of the answer is that I’ve been a blur of … More Maps, Time Machine,Comics, Hat; GO.

Hello all! Sorry it’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything – but it’s certainly not because I’ve been idle.

More Old Norse stuff to look forward to: at the end of the month I’ll be running a workshop at this activity day, using storytelling to engage and inspire local Girl Guides with Viking history and STEM subjects (a very fruitful mix of topics, you’ll find!).
