Norwich Magic

I had a lovely time meeting children at Mile Cross Primary and sharing stories about the sea, a new world to so many which is part of the joy of what I do.

I then shared my poem at the open mic night for the Cafe Writers which meant a huge amount to me too.

A real journey in all senses of the word.

         

Irish Book Week- 21st to 23rd October

Magical time back in Dublin for Irish Book Week.

It was a non-stop action packed whirlwind of School visits but I loved every second.

            A great treat to catch up with old Canterbury Teacher Training friends and pay homage to Molly Malone as well!

Second animation recording…! 

It was so much fun having the chance to have children in for our second recording session. Thank you for the enthusiasm. May Oscar go from strength to strength…! 

           

Bookmark charity

Thank you, Bookmark Charity, for the fabulous opportunity to share my passion and drive for my stories and creativity with you. It meant a huge amount to me and I loved every second!

     

Jennifer the Goose

It was so great launching Jennifer as part of the Askew Road Festival! There was wiggling, jiggling, masks and so much fun was had! Thank you, Askew Road community for the opportunity and Greenside School for the fabulous illustrations!

          

First Reading of the new School year

It was a great treat to be back starting the new school year off with a reading in Aberdeenshire at Woodlands Nursery. The children were so engaged, and I was so happy to be back sharing stories and adventures once more.

Farm Fun

It is always such a joy sharing stories on the farm. It makes me just so, so happy. This year did not disappoint. Even the shells came out for a bit of sparkle. What a jolly time we all had and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of it, as always.

           

Chatting with Acair Books

I am hoping to get my books published with acair books into gaelic. I think this could be a really exciting journey for Oscar, his friends and me. It was also a wonderful excuse to visit Lewis and Harris and explore the wonders the world offers around there.

Fun Run

On 10th August I ran 6km for the National Literacy Trust. This was a big deal for me as I haven’t run since having pretty major surgery six years ago. I am aware of how important literacy is and would do anything to give children a chance to flourish in the world today. I believe creativity is becoming increasingly important in our modern world.
