Really excited to be on BBC Radio Scotland not once, but twice last week!
First of all I took part in the Time Travels programme on Tuesday 3rd telling the story of the Boddamers Who Hung the Monkey which my Dad, George Cordiner told me about our Boddam fisherfolk ancestors. You can hear the story 17 minutes into Tuesday’s show:

Two parties coming up this weekend! First off it’s Fairies for 5th birthday – the young lady will receive a special fairy headdress and naming certificate! Then on Sunday it’ll be time for pirate games, stories and crafts!
I love my job! 😀 ❤

Here’s a preview of Pauline telling her father’s version of The Boddam Monkey on BBC Radio Scotland.

You can hear the full story on Tuesday 3rd October!

Pauline was telling stories at The James Hutton Institute’s BioBlitz event on the 28th July. She told stories of the plants and animals of our world and how they effect the world around us. PLUS! She got to meet a bee and a purring wildcat!

Well it was a beautiful sunny day in the Broch on Saturday where I was lucky to be telling stories with Elsie the Fishwife!  We had a few great wee audiences of mums, dads, grannies and grandas as well as the bairns of Fraserburgh.  Elsie helped me tell the story of the Fisherman and the Flounder. She does a really good nagging auld wife impression. Disappointingly for Elsie, she didn’t find husband number 5 though – but it wasn’t for the lack of trying to chat up any mannie over 50 she thought looked eligible!

Thanks to Super Saturdays who invited us along – they have a monthly event in Saltoun Square and there is always a different theme with bands, stalls and other entertainments!

Muir of Dinnet Open Day, Friday 7th July 12 – 4pm.

Pauline will be telling stories of Scotland’s nature and animals at the Muir of Dinnet Open Day this Friday 7th July between 12 and 4pm! 🙂
There’s lots of other things to do of course – lots of crafts, games and face painting as well as exploring the nature reserve and the Burn o Vat! Come along and Join us 😀

Well it’s a busy week ahead with a couple of parties, a couple of tours but… this coming weekend Pauline will be Storyteller In Residence at the 2017 Stonehaven Folk Festival!

“On Saturday 8th July between 1 and 2.15, join me for the family show – storytelling for all ages at St Bridgets Hall (just before the World Paper N Comb Championship!)

On Sunday 9th July between 12.45 and 1.45 come and join us for a “lazy Sunday afternoon storytelling “workshop” – learn about some tall stories and how to make them come alive.” All are welcome but this is aimed for a family audience, if under 16 then accompanied by an adult. This will be held at the recreation club. (This event is free as part of the “Connecting Communities” project sponsored by Aberdeenshire Council)

Well Fizzy and I are now back from the Glastonbury Festival! It has been a wonderful, tiring, chaotic, hot, hardworking, load of fun!
But there’s not rest to be had – today was Jack’s Superhero birthday party in Stonehaven – Happy Birthday Jack! 😀 Keep your eyes on this page, lots of announcements to come!
