The #IsleOfWight tells the story of Ginger Tom — a cat that is said slide in and out of people’s letter boxes through the night. If you meet him, and offer him a special type of gingerbread (named after him) he will grant you his ear and give you advice.
But here’s the rub, if he does not like the treat he will not tell you, but his advice will be bad. It is only he enjoys the ginger that he will give you good advice.
If however, he visits and you have nothing to offer, then Ginger Tom will leave, never to visit you again.
A fresh batch of Ginger Toms was baked just this morning: they are thick and soft and made with real ginger.

I’ve been working on the staging for my latest production — we are going to tell the story of the three sisters.
Main characters: The Three Sisters (the #maiden, the #mother, the #crone), #Horsa, Woden and Gerðar — #Goddess of the #Wyrd
Who likes the idea of shadow #puppets masked performers and a wooden horse?
