Chapter Thirteen

7th November 2014

In the shafts of sunlight from the small windows high above my head, I saw motes of hay dance and whirl around me, and despite my fear of Crake, I began to feel life in the stables wouldn’t be so bad after all.   Eager not to miss any of the new marvels,  I proudly led Thunder between the rows ...

Preparing for a Christmas Reading.

I miss no longer being an actress, and now preparing for a Christmas Reading, Walter de la Mare, enables me to act and raid the magical dressing up box!

The Green Lady

5th November 2014

I was called to serve the Green Lady, long before time began. She likes to think of me as her servant, but this in not true.

Found a length of 'hedgerow with berries...

Reading Halloween Stories through the Smoke! First of all a very big thank you to Kate and Zoe for making my author visit to Dudmaston not only bearable but survivable. And thank you to the lovely children and parents who eventually found me and were such a marvellous audience and also surviv...
