What a wonderful day it has been at Aden Fantasy Festival!
The weather may have been dreich, but the crowds were in high spirits anyway – dressed in all manner of amazing costumes!

I had some lovely audiences for my Viking tales and the grown ups that came back at the end of the festival to tell me how much they (and their younger ones!) enjoyed the stories fair warmed my hairt! (Although it took a wee while for my tootsies to warm up!)

Here’s a photo of my venue for the day – heroically pumped out first thing by one of Fantasy Scotland’s best along with my Wee Imp who took on the task!

From Fishwife to Queen in a day!

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!
