The magnolia tree round the corner from me has been in flower all week - it always reminds me it's time to get spring #stories out. This year mine are Calvino's #folktale The Baby Snake, and the story of magpie's nest from Joseph Jacobs. What are other storytellers' #springfavourites?

One of my favourite stories comes from the Marshall Islands: The Canoe Race. Full of questions about the ocean and the people who live on and by it.

Happy International Women's Day. This is my great-grandmother, Annie Clark, who took her young family from Capetown all the way to Italy so that she could go to art school, and later set up a nursing station in the Boer war.

A great way to spend #WorldBookDay - launching a brand new sensory story at wonderful Samuel Pepys Special School. There was noise, mud, exceptionally sticky playdough... and some lively dancing!

The Cambridge Corn Exchange: had its foundation stone laid by a Mayor called John Death; gave a tea party for 1000 people; Johnny Cash played there; and they've asked me to tell stories there next Monday. A dream job or what?

#MKGallery is the place that makes Milton Keynes less of a national joke. This time they've gutted the contents of #VanessaBell's house at #Charleston and displayed it like a forensic analysis of an artist's life in the bare spaces of the gallery.
