I didn't get an email notification about your question, and so I completely missed it 'til now. In answer, I do go to festivals and do Squishy McFluff events (assume it's Squishy your little girl is enjoying? How lovely!). I'm waiting for news of some festivals through the summer months at the moment. If you'd like to contact me through my own website pipjones.net (use the contact form) and tell me whereabouts you live, I can let you know if I'm ever going to be at a festival near you. In the meantime, tell your daughter I say hi, and I hope the reading is going from strength to strength. Pip(less)
