Had a FANTASTIC day at lovely local Lowewood Museum for Stories Day! We had pop-up storytelling throughout the day about leopards, monkeys, cobblestones, buttons, wishes, naughty robbers (!!), wise women, flowers growing, yellow paint, a magic millstone, and the value of both the old and the new :)

Families also enjoyed craft activities, music and story writing today alongside free entry to this beautiful museum.

Thank you to my lovely attentive audiences, Lowewood staff & volunteers and especially Peter, Tony and Naomi :)

Keep your peepers PEELED as Lowewood Museum have LOADS of fab events, including a Circus Skills day coming up! :)
