May / June  07

What a beautiful Spring we have been having!  Our garden is full of blossom, trailing lilac wisteria blooms and blackbirds, blue tits and robins all nesting in the hedges and fighting over the moss lined flower baskets left over from last year.  They are either tugging out bits to line their nests or battling for the best branch viewpoint.  Endlessly entertaining to our three boys and the cat!

June is looking to be very busy with a number of performances scheduled, writing commissions and further work on the new dragon CD.  I will be performing for the Green Health Project at Shipley on Wednesday June 6th, and story-telling for little ones as part on the "Midsummer Magic" event at The Ripley Greenway on Saturday June 16th.  The latter event promises to be a lovely day out for all the family with fairy and pixie costume making, performance excerpts from Shakespeare, music-making and 2 story-telling slots from myself in the living willow pods (12.15 and 1.15).  This event is free, being funded by Amber Valley Borough Council - so do come along and say hello and enjoy the day!

On Friday 15th June, I will be at the St Benedict Catholic School Performing Arts College, Derby and on Friday 6th July at Chesterfield College, Chesterfield as part of the Derbyshire Creative Arts Markets.  The afternoons of these events are a great opportunity to meet me and discuss any project, performance or workshop you may be interested in for your school or group or simply to find out more about my work as an author and performer.  Why not simply email me or ring for an informal chat.  robandsophie@hotmail.com  Tel 01332 840007

In anticipation of another gorgeous summer...
