That’s the last storytelling session of 2018 done and dusted with a covering of snow and excess glitter 😉
The fairies and myself would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🧚‍♂️🌟☃️🎅

We’ve just had Book Week Scotland, but already schools, community groups and care homes are preparing for National Storytelling Week which runs from the 26th January to the 2nd February.
If you’d like to book Pauline to tell stories at your school, you can either message through this page or email paulinecordiner@gmail.com 🙂

A few photos from Samuel’s (surprise!) birthday party on Friday 2nd November – ghost stories, Halloween lanterns and scars! Thanks for having me along guys! 😀

Hallowe’en is always a busy (and fun!) time of year for storytellers – however with a 6 year old daughter who we didn’t want to take out of school, we chose to take our long awaited holiday during the Tattie Holidays this year, meaning we arrived back home in Aberdeen at mid day on Hallowe’en!  (Dressed as skeletons for the whole journey I might add!)

We didn’t want to miss out on anything though, so did what we have been doing for the past 3 years – before any Hallowe’en bookings I set up my wee fire on my driveway and tell stories to the local kids who are guising!  (Most of them know me from school and it’s a chance to tell spooky stories I wouldn’t normally be telling within a class setting!)

I love Hallowe’en!

The fire is lit!

Ready for the guisers!

Molly, 6, opts for a different outfit 😉

No rest for the wicked either! On Friday I’m off to the Cullerlie Singing Weekend at Echt and then it’s a bit further afield the week after that as Fizzy and I will be off to the Cambridge Folk Festival to perform there with our friends! ❤

Timrous the moosie and Pauline were at Quarryhill nursery today telling stories and painting faces for the afternoon and morning nurseries!
Now we’ll let you in to a secret! Pauline went to Quarryhill before she became a storyteller/fairy/wizard and got a tour at lunchtime to see how the place has changed  it brought back a few fantastic memories ❤
