All footsteps lead to home

How, what and wow! What a welcome back into the UK classrooms and just look at what we got up. I’ve been visiting Old Hall Drive and Hylton Red House, unpacking my bag of tricks to share the story books, sculptures, sketch books and recordings I discovered on adventure.

We started by what we could remember from the website, which was a bit tricky considering just how much we had collected.

We imagined what was magical and amazing.

All the students were full of questions. We wondered what somewhere would look like if we couldn’t get there, if it was a placed that was undiscovered or where we had always wanted to be.

Then the famous Fairy Tale of the Yeti that I discovered on my travels.

Well, all those footsteps have led me back home to the workshop safely. We all had a long hard think about where we could go next.

And what we could to do next time I pass by these shores.

Well that’s it! Feweeeeeee…. what a magical carpet ride!

Don’t worry about the website it will be here for all to see for quite a while yet. If you want to know what I’m up to out there in the massive universe of the imagination you can still send a message to ground control where a passing member of the Guild of Fairy Tale Hunters will pick it up and pass it to me. If that’s a bit tricky then your teachers will know how to reach me.

Remember don’t forget to keep in touch with Seven Stories, the amazing centre for children’s books in Newcastle.

So adios, I wish you all good fortune and rich plunder as you turn the next page in your own Fairy Tale (watch outs for those Yeti’s). Happy hunting…………..!

Don’t forget to uphold our motto:  To protect innocence and suspend disbelief!
