We invited some guests and four young people to our first Storytelling in the Garden.

The young people amazed me, as they did not fidget or play about in boredom. 

They listened intently to all the pieces I read. It confirmed my thoughts that, as writers, we need to read more frequently to young people of all ages. 

They are avid listeners, they love being read to, and they have a taste for reading. 

We need to provide them with more exciting, fun, educational, and new material. 

There is so much to write about in our world at the moment. 

Good, truthful writers have much work to do now, to provide the stability of honest accounts of our lives and the times we live in.

Everyone enjoyed their Storytelling in the Garden afternoon, along with cold drinks, tea and cakes. 

I was pleased with the response from them and hope to do something similar again, with the help of my wonderful team of Wobblers, without whom nothing will happen. It was a wonderful team effort and I am most grateful to them.

Take care, stay safe, and help spread a great deal of kindness around.
