Great pic of me and Phantasmacabria (aka Kimbers) from this weekend’s #FantasyForest taken by Elaine Edmunds. #storytelling #cosplay #W40k #renfaire

Yeah - but apart from that?

Sunday (last day) at Fantasy Forest. Great time telling and some proper cracking cozzies! Ably assisted by the inimitable Phantasmacabria (horns ,red eyes close up) #cosplay #storyteller #storytelling #fantasyforest

Saturday at Fantasy Forest: 3 telling sessions, wastelands, loot and lots of fab cosplayers! #cosplay #storyteller #storytellingforgrowups #fantasyforest

1. Private party: the 'birthday girl' and I are almost like twins 2. Telling a story at the private party (without mask) 3. As per tradition (started last year) soon as Phantasmacabria and I are in costume we take our 'idiot faces' photo #storytelling #storytellingforgrownups #fantasyforest #cosplay

No public storytelling today (although told a tale at a private birthday party), so mostly strutting around in my cozzie, enjoying setting and meeting other cosplayers. #storytelling #fantasyforest #cosplay

Fantasy Forest this weekend: Returning with new stories, to the cool and shelter of the Chapel on Sat (12:40 / 16:00 / 18:20) and S (13:00 / 16:00). Excitement, adventure, comedy and horror! New costume (still making tweaks) - and yes, I will be removing the mask before performing 🙂 See you there!

Archeologist @maryannochota.bsky.social and I will be doing a storytelling / archaeology mix, together, at #LudlowHistoryFestival this year. It's a show that's sold out before, so take a look at details here: ludlowassemblyrooms.co.uk/show/rings-w... #storyteling #archaeology #history #ludlow

Medusa: horrific monster, slain by brave Perseus. Medusa: abused, blamed, cursed and then murdered. Same woman - two very different views of her story. I’ll be telling both in my and Amy Douglas’ show. Live online (or watch later). Tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/in-season-...

Cottage in the woods, every time we went into the log store a bird flew past. It was fleeing from its mossy nest. While the bird was away I put my phone over the nest and look - a clutch wren’s eggs. Each no larger than my fingernail! All left alone. #Storyteller #ornithology #BritishWildlife

Norse day at Bancroft school. I’m telling Norse legends and running creative writing workshops. Currently watching some Viking re-enactors prepping for a display … and, rather worryingly, sharpening the blade of a Great Dane Axe! :) #storytelling #Norsemythology #vikings

Solskin festival day 3: last day of stories beneath ‘the great oak’, closing ceremony by the Sheffields Goddess Temple, great music from Shannon Pearl. End of the weekend, but what a great weekend it was! #pagan #heathen #Storyteller

Solskin Festival day 2: telling Sláine beneath the great oak, fab music and energy (as always) from Fae as Folk and the gift of a pendant and sketch from blacksmith Chris from Bale Fire Blades. More today for the past day! #Storyteller #pagan #heathen

First day of Solskin festival : performing under the great oak, great music and fancy headgear from Adfeilion board games in the bar, inspiring open mic acts, exemplary mead from Afonso Mel, bumping into the Saxon Forager/ Wyrd Wessex, and the saddest dog in the world. More tomorrow!

Lovely Father's Day walk with Son-And-Heir (complete with posing Highland Bull, and traditional Warwickshire water buffaloes), and finished off the evening cooking a wild mushroom chowder, garnished with samphire! #storyteller #autismdad

‘The Eye’. Just a pic of a state lantern at The Micklegate Social at a show I did a few weeks back. That is all. #Storyteller #York

New illustration for a book I’m working on, for later this year: scarlet macaw. #storyteller #illustration

And then I met @2000ad.bsky.social (and others) artist @injculbard.bsky.social just before I started my packed out Sláine: The Horned God show in Nottingham last night. #Storyteller #comics #artwork

Lovely morning telling stories at Leamington Peace Festival Also pleased to see our MP Matt Weston and actor David Bradley introducing the opening ceremony! I’m back tomorrow at 11 to tell more stories. #leamingtonpeacefestival #storyteller #fanboy #gameofthrones #harrypotter

I'm not very good at having days off - both because I'm self-employed and also very restless - so last week I had a self-imposed sickie. I lounged around, played computer games, read comics, and ignored work messages. #storyteller #adultADHD
