On Wednesday, I’m heading up to bonnie Buckie to tell stories to the Moray Friendship Club! Another #SISFStoryRipple event funded by the Scottish International Storytelling Festival
I’ll be telling Spooky Tales, but my fairy pals Fizzy and Fuzzy will also be going along. They’re really excited to see the new outfits designed by club members! I’ll post some photos of the next outfits some time after the Halloween Rush!
Spooky Season event sharing continues! 
On Tuesday 24th October, 2 – 3pm in the Duthie Park, I will be telling Halloween Tales at We Too SC045895‘s “ASN – Relaxed Spooky, Sensory Stories with Pauline Cordiner” – you can sign up using the link below

The Ninjas are absolutely thrilled to welcome Pauline into our October programme as part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival – The Big Scottish Story Ripple!
Hunker down with Pauline as she weaves her spooky, sensory stories around your ears, feel the leaves blow around you and as the weather cools and the light fades to welcome night sky at the Duthie Park.
The We Too! “ChillVille” gazebo will be situated opposite the cafe area on the grass area so you have access to getting a nice warm drink and maybe a fine piece before we all settle down to some stories. Also this spot gives access to the cafe toilets if needed too.
This event has been made possible due to the Scottish International Storytelling Festival’s Big Scottish Story Ripple initiative. The Scottish International Storytelling Festival (SISF) is organised by Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland (TRACS) and the Big Scottish story Ripple is supported by The Scottish Storytelling Forum.
Some lovely photos from my visit to HANDSS last week! After the story, we all had a go working with clay to make some pots – as you can see, there are some great artists amongst this lot!
It’s been such a busy week I’m just catching up with myself!
First I had a photoshoot with the wonderful Windswept Stories Photography down at Fittie with Elsie the Fishwife. Of course that will need a whole post of its own. I’ve just seen the photos and they’re amazin!! Elsie has instructed me that I should show as many showing her good side as possible.
On Wednesday I had my third visit to Turriff Academy where the S2s looked at Doric and Scots and were subjected to my awful singing – all in the interest of demonstrating how special our local languages and dialects are! (Probably more on that later too!)
And on Thursday I had SO much fun at Bucksburn Academy’s ASN unit. A few puppet pals came with me and each class had a shot at telling a story with me using the animals. Fizzy and Fuzzy took charge at various points and I’m glad to say Fuzzy was allowed some peace from his sister to take the stage and do a song and a poem. Nae bad Fuzzy. Nae bad.
