How a story can save a life
Welcome back to my 'weekly' blog, which I last wrote about a couple of months ago...ahem. *shuffling apologies* Sorry for the long break. It's been a busy summer, and do I have a story... Early this year, I was working with a private client of mine who wanted to build a solo show for the Edinburgh…

Still In Sight
There are some stories that feel like they're too painful to tell - that if you were to open your mouth and give them life, they would cut you in two.
On your feet
I'm feeling a little strange today. Empowered? - Maybe. Suffering a mild aversion to eggs? - Definitely. Looking forward to hearing some true stories told live? Oh my word, yes. It's been a strange old weekend. Normally here at Tweddley Towers, we're a pet free zone. however, this weekend, courtesy…
Virtual Reality
OK, I admit it, I'm two days late with the blog. I know you've been desperately checking your Inbox since Monday - not really - saying to yourself in a worried tone, "When oh when will that blog from Lynn come?" -also not really - but as I work in a business which is about telling true stories, I…
And the next chapter is....
My kids went back to school today. Last night there was sleepless nights, yearnings for the holidays not to be really over, and general malaise. Not from them though, from me. Before long, we'll be back in a routine and have less opportunity to chat about stuff that matters when you're 14 and 9 and...
On the road to...
Maybe it's because Im getting older, but this New Year felt more reflective than usual. The world seems like a very different place than the way it did 12 months ago, and though 2016 was a bit of everything for me, it definitely was particularly tricky for a lot of peeps I know and care about. Of c...
15 years!
I don't know how it happened. 17 years ago today I was nursing a pretty ravaged heart, after a tricky break up from a long term relationship. It was 1999 and I was facing the new millennium with something other than optimism. Though I was lucky enough to have some really brilliant friends to bolste...
And...next?
So, despite the fact that I'd decided that I wasn't going to sort out Christmas until after the last night of Heart and Sole on Thursday, the Christmas tree went up today - although when I say tree, I really mean trees. There's a large traditional tree in the living room - all red and gold and gr...
Unwrapped
When I was a kid, 1st December was a milestone every year, because I knew Christmas was properly approaching. The run up to Christmas was brilliant. At school, the classrooms took on an air of almost cheerfulness, there was the prospect of the much anticipated 'school dance'. At the age of 11, I spe...
Me too
Around this time two years ago, we decided to have our kitchen renovated - though when I say, 'decided' what I really mean is that we had no choice: The stove was old and faulty and in the wrong place. The sink leaked. The kitchen doors were old and falling off, and the countertop was a frickin' pet...
All good
My son Fergus, turned 14 years old today. His birthday was supposed to be December but it didn't work out that way. 14 years ago, he was early for the first - and possibly only - time in his life. 5 weeks premature, he lay in an incubator in a special care ward with a feeding tube through his nos...
Really Scary Stories
Been a busy weekend round Ferguson/Tweddley Mansions. Our 9 year old had a Halloween parade at his school this morning, and so the whole weekend has been dominated by what he would be wearing as a costume. In my day, we had an old white bed sheet with two eye holes cut in it, et voila a ghost, and…
Back soon
...this week, Mark and I boarded a flight for Los Angeles with our two sons - aged 6 and 18 months old. Our 6 year old was still in his school uniform, as we'd picked him up straight from school. Six weeks previously, I'd been offered a writing job at CBS. We lived in London. The job was in LA. Ti...
Is dinner ready yet?
I am the youngest of 4, and my mother had a full time job as well as us kids, so although she loved us, she was busy. When I was 7, I used to sit in front of the TV news, and when it was finished, I'd go into the kitchen where my Mum was making dinner, and tell her all of the worst things that I'd h...
Remember Remember, It's nearly November
...and as we used to proclaim back in the old country, "The nights are fair drawing in!" - which means it's gets dark earlier. And wintery time is story time in my opinion - although to be honest, pretty much any time is story time really - but I've always loved cosying up on a winter's night, hear...
Another new chapter
...that it is cooling down here in the valley (as the actress said to the bishop). As a child, walking to school on Autumn days in a rainy Scotland, I used to promise myself with every damp step, that when I was older I'd live somewhere where it never got cold and it didn't rain. It didn't matter…
So, what happened was....
It's a very exciting week here at YouTellYours Manor. We are dusting ourselves down, and fluffing ourselves up for session 5 of the September Course, which is the Live Storytelling Event. This part of the course is always a little weird for me. It's always the point where I reckon I want to extend...
Working at not working
It's been a busy weekend here at Youtellyours manor. The new Beginners' Story Course started on Thursday. It never fails to thrill me - and surprise me - how honest and open and bonded a mix of relative strangers turn out to be, after just three hours in class. On Friday, our neighbor Jeremy poppe...
Working At Not Working
The first Monday of September is Labor day here in the US, which means it's a public holiday, and you can celebrate 'the social and economic achievements of American workers', by trawling round the shops to buy a cut-price mattress, or some piece of occasional furniture at a 'bargain price'. Here in...
Hair-raising
round these parts this weekend. (apart from Mark, who stopped needing the services of a hairdresser quite some time ago...ahem.) Myra, our adorable hairdresser friend, came round to sort out the crowning glory of the rest of us who, over the past month or two, have become distinctly shaggy. Whenev...
Pants On Fire
Look at this situation with Ryan Lochte. If you don't know the story, he's an Olympic swimmer who basically got drunk, behaved like a complete jerk and made up this whole thing that he'd been robbed at gunpoint. And now the lie has backfired. Nobody cares that he's an Olympic athlete, just that he'...
Can't Be Too Careful
But no matter the weather, the Fringe is always worth it. If you enjoy any form of entertainment, it's the place to be. This year I found it to be especially brilliant: Aside from seeing "Angel" by lovely Henry Naylor, and having lunch with my old mucker, Alan Cumming, I had the joy of watching Ho...
