FIKA – 7th October 2021

What a special afternoon we had sharing our stories…dreaming…laughing….imagining.

TeePee on Tay created a magical atmosphere, FIKA provided an incredible venue and children came to bring my stories to life. Oscar made so many new friends with the dinosaurs too. We even fitted in some acting and have some budding robins in the making.

What a special time we had. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY FIKA! Can’t wait for the second!

Fame

I had a wonderful book reading session online with a School in Hampshire recently. One of the questions I was asked during this session was ‘are you famous?’ Fame, above all else seemed to be the pinnacle of many of these young children’s aspirations. I told them that they should focus on trying to find a career and occupation that they really love. How is it that as a nation we are breeding a generation of children who aspire to be famous.
