For some reason i had thought 04:30 to be a sensible time to get up.
Oops. Got up an hour earlier than I needed to.Documentally
At least I wasn’t the only one experiencing the dawn chorus.
And now heading on grown-up train to Cardiff for #openuniversity storymaking workshop with @Documentally #ou_mswjanematthews
A trip across one country and into another and it was a short walk to the venue.
Arrived for #ou_msw (@ Cardiff Central Railway Station (CDF) – @nationalrailenq w/ 4 others) [pic]: 4sq.com/13fy5NZDocumentally
Our hosts in Cardiff were @NTWTweets
@Documentally national theatre of Wales offices are in castle arcade off castle st, bang opposite castle entrance #ou_mswjanematthews
And this sign in the foyer of these offices explains why no one was able to find a building. #ou_msw pic.twitter.com/rgSbjjtjGnjanematthews

The room soon filled to capacity and as ever there were refreshments to hand for those that needed them.

Some folks took this as an opportunity to re-invent themselves.

My first go with Vine. My storytelling walk which has been really great fun #ou_msw vine.co/v/b3nLiwi5vz5Michelle Matheron
As we walked we snapped. For some this was the first time for sharing images with twitter.
All good stories need a dragon. A cake one is a good place to start #ou_mswMichelle Matheron
And any self respecting fairy tale dragon needs a castle to live in #ou_msw instagram.com/p/aGKEspm6_L/Michelle Matheron
I answered questions and gave tips as we walked.

And all the while we soaked up the warmth of the great weather.
This is Wales on a sunny day. #ou_mswChristian (@Documentally)
Some folks were certainly inspired.

I think we’re safe. These should keep a Welsh dragon happy until dinner time #theend #ou_mswMichelle Matheron
Issue with super useful apps for storytelling – even when you’re just playing – they EAT battery! My story is about to end! 🙁 #ou_mswOlaug N Gardener
Watch out #ou_msw storytellers the dragon is ready for some lunch!Michelle Matheron
People shared Photos, text, check-ins, audio and video clips.
Learning to tell stories with the OUA215 OU’s course on creative writing sounds a great place to start writing #ou_msw
But soon enough after a walk to the castle, down by the river and back to the office, it was time to part company.
@janematthews great meeting you at #ou_msw today. Wish I’d been there from the start! Do flick me an email & I’m send u that case study :)Olaug N Gardener
