How did the Wolf project go? I came upon your question too late, but please join my Animal Stories group and ask away if you have any others.

- Hello Rab,
I'm sorry for the long delay in accepting your offer of "friendship" - this is my first semi-serious attempt at social networking. I often just don't think about the site. What prompted you to want to make this connection with me?

Catherine Heinemeyer said… - Hello Rab from a fellow Irish storyteller, albeit one who has lived out her adult life in York (that's Old York). Thanks for your kind invitation and hope you enjoy your next project. I too lurch from one all-consuming demand on my time to the next, as my family howl in protest. At the minute it's the first ever York Festival of Storytelling, on the 18th, thank goodness, as that means it's nearly over!

- Hello Rab, I saw you so many times on youtube :-)
I'm planning to move to UK early next year. I was suggested to go to Scotland, as I love rainy, windy and cold weather, but I would be interested in Ireland too. Could you please give me some suggestion? Thanks. Diana

Welcome to the site. I was in Glaway with my family a few summers ago and had a great time. I even got to play my banjo with some local musicians at the Crane Pub. I tell a fair number of Irish and Scottish tales and play bagpipes, mandolin etc.
