I've Walked in the Wildwoods all my life. It's where I learned my craft, it's where I learned the magic and the love of literally spelling a word into existence. The next round of my Walking the Wildwoods course begins in November 2026 and registrations are now open. Details are on my website.

New Blog Post: we have a heartfelt reflection on the weirdness of Fenland skies, wanting to set down roots, and why we need folklore today by Lincolnshire-based artist Chloe Robinson of the Fen.Folk zine lincolnshirefolktalesproject.com/2025/02/13/f...

f a m i l i a r : ensuring the safety of our midnight prowl along the cut.

f i r e d u p : a beautiful new project in partnership with Stoke Libraries. A monthly story circle launches tomorrow. All free, bookable via Stoke Central. We'll be working with oral story material. No experience is necessary. After all storytelling is the art form that we're versed in already

b r a n c h : how beautiful is this? Long, slow oak dance. They are on the golf course near where we are moored. We are city towpath dwellers at the moment. Minutes from Lidl and buses that run every few minutes and yet it is so quiet. Night broken only by the call of old man heron. #boatlife

A great reminder of the fun and joy of this project. And the legacy of the podcasts and my personal continued journey with the stories, the places and the folk that told 'em

This Sunday in BRIG Cafe at the Warehouse - all welcome! Book here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/climate-ca... with @birminghamfoe.bsky.social @brumcjc.bsky.social and XR Birmingham

Quite like it here.

t r a i n f a c e : back in Coventry for a week of storytelling to small folk! What fun we had yesterday being wild, shapeshifting into forest animals and doing the BAA-BAA-Boogie. Thanks to @connectionwithwonder & Coventry Building Society. #storyteller #interactiveperformance #primaryschool
