‘Watts Gallery Bedtime Stories’ by Olivia Armstrong, review by Lynda Waterhouse




Following a postal glitch I am unable to review a ‘paper book’, so I’m seizing this opportunity to share with you ‘The Magical and Magnificent Pattle Sisters’, a story written and performed by Olivia Armstrong as part of a series called ‘Watts Gallery Bedtime Stories’.

This story has all the classic ingredients of a good bedtime story. Instead of a picture book we have a wonderful painting by GF Watts to look at and Olivia’s soothing voice. She also takes us on a wonderful journey and encourages us to step into the painting and to dream. It also makes me long for an afternoon tea of strawberries and cream!
Hearing this story also makes me want to visit The Watts Gallery which is located in Surrey. Founded in 1904 as the only gallery in the UK devoted to a single artist, Watts Gallery and Artists' Village offers a unique insight into the life and work of 'England's Michelangelo', G F Watts, and his wife, the designer and artist Mary Watts. The Artists' Village carries on the Watts' legacy of 'Art for All' with its historic and contemporary galleries, working Artist in Residence and conservation studios, and an extensive learning programme.

Olivia has been telling stories all her life and professionally for over fourteen years. She has an extensive repertoire of traditional folk tales and historical stories. She is also frequently commissioned to devise and perform site specific original stories. Like all mistresses of their craft, Olivia makes the telling of a gripping story appear effortless. Last year, I listened to her tell a story about the life of the young Leonardo Da Vinci to an equally spellbound group including people from nine months to ninety years.

Check out Olivia’s website for further details.

Je suis tellement reconnaissante et heureuse de partager mon témoignage. Mon ex-petit ami m'a quittée il y a plus d'un an, persuadé que je le trompais, alors que j'étais innocente. J'étais dévastée et j'avais perdu tout espoir.

Après avoir contacté le Dr Dan, il m'a écoutée avec bienveillance et compréhension et a réalisé un puissant rituel d'amour. Peu de temps après, mon ex a repris contact avec moi, a compris la vérité, s'est excusé et m'a demandé pardon. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes pleinement réconciliés et amoureux à nouveau ❤️.

Un immense merci, Dr Dan, d'avoir restauré ma relation et mon bonheur. Je vous en serai éternellement reconnaissante 🙏✨
