Don’t let empire fool you, it’s still midwinter. Here is my retelling of the Celtic folk tale of the Holly & Oak Kings.
With thanks to @miltonkeynesartscentre@callaghanroisin@sarah_makemyway
And a page we found called Nature’s Sacred Journey.

I’ve been meaning to re-record this for a while with a more accurate title. Tonight seems as good a time as any (especially after Disney’s own goal last week).
What food did your soul eat?

I always try to thank people when I enjoy their work or find it helpful because I know how much it means when people tell me my work means something to them.
Swipe to see what a friend sent me yesterday. And remember to contact those who help or inspire you - they may seem confident but they aren’t always, so they need your encouragement!x

I am not fun to live with when I am working/focussing on something. This is especially ridiculous since most of my work is about community, making friends and being loving.
Anyone else? I know you don’t mean it either. This is my official apology.

Sometimes, in between things, you catch yourself living the life you always wanted.
Got a couple of hours to myself. Not pictures: made a banana cake and had to clean the carpet because I dropped a brush on it. It’s taken me at least two weeks to get around to planting these 🫛
🌷👩🎨🐈We had such a lovely morning yesterday at our Making of a Story workshop with artists Sarah Hunt @sarah_makemyway and Deb Fielding @withnarrative
We're busy making plans for our storytelling event in the summer as part of the @bradwellwindmillproject , and our wonderful participants helped us put together missing elements of the story we plan to share.
This hands-on exploratory workshop started with the plotting of the story 'The Farmer and the Boggart' before moving on to design the setting for our next story to take place using drawing, collage and model making.
Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming details for The Farmer and the Boggart happening at Bradwell Windmill on Monday 10 August!
The @bradwellwindmillproject supported by @heritagefunduk@miltonkeynesmuseum and @miltonkeynescouncil

It’s been three and a half years since our friends from Ukraine joined us. They went home for good just before Christmas and tonight we are sending off the last of their things. They are doing well and getting stuck in at home and school as best they can.
I will probably write more in the future but for the time being I will just say that is was a full three years: full of uncertainty, learning, holding on, putting up, laughter, chattering, art, movement, reading, tears, waiting and hoping. Thanks to all of you who helped and/or supported us.
Wr had fun and we will always love them 💛💙
