A bumblebee summer

A bumblebee summer

- well, we can always hope! Good sunshine, glowing flowers, increasingly friendly gardeners - let’s hope it’s enough

And it is a summer for creeping toads! I’m involved in events through July and August and am going to start posting them in some sort of order now

Grinlow Art and Storytelling Trail

“Come and discover works of art along a waymarked trail in Grinlow woods, July 12th and 13th, with storytelling at the end of the trail. A bunch of local creators, dreamers, makers and arty folk have had much fun and frolics dreaming up woodland installations............”

I am there telling stories on the Saturday: tales of tall trees and stone people, stories from the green shadows and the still pools and the dripping caves. 

Times: I am due “on” in the story tent at 12, 2 and 4pm but this will be approximate!

Sunday 13th

Tiny! Wildness: the return of our annual, ever-so-slightly potty Tiny! adventures. Come and find us in Pavilion Gardens: we’ll be the ones sitting under a tree with flags, bunting and lots of bits. This year we’re going for a new set of Tiny! friends: aiming for nothing bigger than our hands. There might be heroic children, dragons, kings, queens and elephants. Who knows? We are sure some Tiny!PIrates will put in an appearance

Free (and frivolous)

Pavilion Gardens (Fringe venue 33). “Search” for: "Pavilion Gardens, Buxton" and you’ll find us: 13 Jul 10:30am to 12:30pm, 2pm to 4pm Free, Ages 4+

always watch out for a Tiny! Pirate!

Sunday 27th July

And on this day, I’m telling stories in the High Peak Community Arts Yurt in Pavilion Gardens but at the moment, I don’t know just where or when! Watch for details!

Coming up next: Derbyshire Myths and Legends with the Summer Reading Challenge

Nottinghamshire Libraries with the SRC

Hen Harrier Day! Flex your feathers, m'hearties! We will need all our pirates out there supporting some of our most elegant birds!
