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!  

Coming up on the 19th May, I’ll be telling stories and singing a few wee ballads at Lumphanan – please join us 🙂

I was caught a couple of weekends ago telling this story at the Anatomy Rooms while my daughter Molly and I were in taking part in Jason Nelson’s “The Listener”

Monday evening’s Beer and Bloodthirsty Tales at Underdog was amazing.  Fiona Jane Brown and I told tales from the Castlegate’s bloody past and the audience was wonderful!  We’re performing this Friday evening at Ma Cameron’s in a set called “Spooky Shenanigans at the Sow Croft Inn.”  Fully booked already I’m afraid.
I’ll be back at Underdog telling tales of terror on the 22nd May with Hidden Aberdeen Tours telling stories with Fiona-Jane Brown and Haworth Hodgkinson (writer & musician) will be providing some atmospheric music and poetry. Thanks Amie Bain Photography for the photographs!

Good afternoon folks!
This event is coming up at Deeside Activity Park on the 8th April if you’re looking for something to do during the Easter Holidays 🙂
Loads of activities for all ages!

Well done to Eva and her party guests who made these festival headdresses/headbands at her Festival themed party on Saturday!
We also got out the neon face paints again which was a surprise for the girls when we went into the darkened room with the UV lights!
And 10/10 for everyone that danced in the dance-off. You were brilliant xxx

I was in Banff graveyard yesterday and it was so peaceful and quiet (even with the scurries sqwaking in the background) that I thought I’d take the opportunity to record a wee story.  This is one of my favourite stories to tell – Mary Elphinstone who was buried twice in Inverurie 🙂

This is Climate Change Week! It runs from the 18th – 25th March and culminating in Earth Hour on Saturday.
I’m going to be telling environmental and climate change stories in Fraserburgh and Banff tomorrow and Thursday for primary school children on behalf of Aberdeenshire Library and Information Service 🙂
