From Fishwife to Queen in a day!

Leave a comment

That really does sound like a fairy tale, doesn’t it? OK… stories of magic fishes aside, it actually happened this week!

On Saturday I was in Peterhead dressed as a fish wife for my Peterhead Tours and yesterday I was promoted to a Queen for  Fantasy Scotland at their Easter In Wonderland event! The queen in question was The Red Queen who Alice encounters amongst other chess pieces during her adventure Through The Looking Glass.

Just as the Red Queen gave Alice advice on how to become a queen, I told stories of ordinary people and their experiences with royalty – and had some wonderful subjects in my audience! Thanks to everyone who joined me for a story and thanks to Fantasy Scotland CIC for having me along!

Upcoming Events

After a few days recovering from coughs and sneezes, I’m catching up with my upcoming events!

Here’s one I’m looking forward to – on the 5th March I’ll be joining the stallholders at the Witches’ Market which will runs from 11am to 3pm and is held upstairs at the Holburn Bar (junction of Holburn Street and Great Southern Road).

I’ll be telling stories between 1pm and 2pm and (like the market!) all are welcome. Stories will be suitable for all ages (2 to 102. If you’re over 102, you can tell us a story!) and the theme will be “Unexpected Heroes”

Either side of my storytelling, I’m looking forward to having a look at all the beautiful, shiny and handcrafted things on sale!

Hope to see you there!
