STORYTELLING SESSION REVIEW: WEDNESDAY, 5TH AUGUST 2026
Our theme of “Missing” provoked much discussion in our warm-up, where the question, “Which childhood place do you miss?” was asked. Several members described their granny’s house in vivid detail, mentioning favourite objects.
We listened to a Norse myth, a tale of a troll from Iceland, a tragic true report of women who go missing along a highway in Canada and a personal story, “The Missing Piece”. And one of our newest members told her first ever story to the group, about a midwife and the fairy folk.
