Friday afternoon at the ZIBF

Hearts were racing, the clock was ticking, small dust devils rush past......its was 2.45pm and there was NOONE in the children's reading tent.

OH MY GOSH - there was Deborah, Maria (the swedish ambassadors wife), then the Swedish Ambasador and I twiddling our thumbs...

Of course, its the middle of the school term..not the usual end of term when families are free to visit in the afternoons. Most of the school goers were being bussed back to school or pick-up points. We had no idea if there were any young people left to hear our tales of Sweden and Scotland.

But FEAR NOT, good people, for the lighties did decend upon us. After a little marketeering around the stands, we rounded up a bunch of suitable candidates..and the storytelling began.

Here are some pictures from the afternoon. SUCH FUN!
