Only a few days left of the Bristol Bizaar now! We are based at The Island in Bristol and there are some amazing things here – this is my stall complete with the story telling tree sans it’s normal poetry bees!
I am going to be taking part in the Market Under the Moon/Bristol Bizar’s Christmas Pop Up Shop at the Island in Bristol. I believe it is the old police station. It’s above an art gallery and will be there for 2 weeks. I’m taking poetry as well as craft things 🙂 Poetry wise there […]
This Sunday we are going to be splitting in 2 and doing a magical flit to The True Believers Comic Book Christmas Faire at Smokey Joes in Cheltenham, and ALSO the Cranham Craft Fayre.

It is Easter Sunday and I thought it was about time I put Sarah Snell-Pym’s Easter Collection out there in digital audio format – ie downloadable tracks. I’ve been giving and selling copies of it on CD for the last two years though this year is the first time I’ve put them online for sale. […]
