Afraid? Me? What of?

Are you afraid of spiders? What about bottom-biting bog monsters? Or
vampire neighbours? How about a huge squawking baby vulture in the
middle of the night?

Come and hear stories about a scared knight, a lonely spider and other
amazing creatures at 1pm on Saturday 11th February.

…All I want for Christmas is a happy ending…

Come for yuletide yarns where things end well (except for the goose) at 1pm on Sunday 4th December.
