Our story. The Cats Pyjamas Kindness Co. Ltd was founded by Tracy Hill.

Storytelling for Children & Families | South Wales | Nature, Well-being, Well-being & Creativity 🌱 Storytelling Resources for Children-let your imagination run wild! The focus of the company is to provide workshops encouraging self belief, living with grief, and life after loss. Workshops include, story telling, walking in nature and business storytelling. We all have a story to tell, and the meth

od by which we tell them, can generate opportunities, help us overcome challenges and create interest. By telling a story, we open ourselves up to another person or persons and share personal information which has the potential to forge future trusting relationships. The business name was inspired by my own father. He was a man that had an enormous amount of positivity and creativity. He never let his disability define him and it didn’t stop him living a fun and happy life. He was an inspiration and I admired his strength and courage. He fought a tough battle with cancer in later life that defeated him eventually. However, he remained dignified in his fight and found the courage to still laugh and enjoy the little moments in life. He was simply The Cat's Pyjamas. Each of the workshops are designed uniquely and stand alone, and with ‘you’ in mind. They share a common goal and that is to encourage you to be creative, be yourself and share a unique story. Being with others that are going through, or have been through similar experiences as us can help us to feel listened to and worthy. In life we can experience traumatic and life changing events, these can change our direction and our perception. However, having a coping strategy can help us to have perspective. From my own life experiences I have developed many coping strategies to help me through tough times. Having gone through some heartbreaking losses, I have often found myself struggling with ‘life’. But what I know for sure is, life does, and has to go on. Coping mechanisms are different for everyone. For me I have found that being in nature can help me and I feel safe and it's my sanctuary. Likewise, sharing my stories and speaking of my losses has helped me to accept that this is part of life and that acceptance plays a vital role in recovery and healing. You can join me and others on a walking route in nature, a storytelling workshop or a business storytelling event. You will feel safe, listened to and part of a caring community. Kindness starts with being kind to yourself. Only then can you share your kindness with others. It’s perfectly okay to put yourself first. Welcome to The Cats Pyjamas Kindness Co. Ltd

Our poppies were out in bloom this week, and the rain made them look extra beautiful ♥️

And they made me think…

Friday Wisdom 🌿

The poppy does not apologise for bowing its head after the rain.

It doesn’t call itself weak.
It doesn’t try to stand taller than it can.

It simply carries what it has been given until the sun returns.

Perhaps there is wisdom in that.

Not every season is for blooming.
Not every day is for being strong.

On the days that you can, do.
On the days that you can’t, don’t.

Nature has never rushed itself, and yet everything grows.

We can certainly learn lots from nature ♥️

Twenty-four years ago today, we said goodbye to our son, Oliver.

He was just nine weeks old.

Those nine weeks were filled with hope, fear, uncertainty, heartbreak and a sadness so deep that, at times, I wasn’t sure how I would ever find my way through it. The world kept turning, but mine (and my family) had changed forever.

Over time, I found myself drawn to the places that asked nothing of me. Forest paths. Quiet water. Open skies.

Nature taught me what nobody else could.

That seasons change.
That broken things can still be beautiful.
That growth can emerge from places that once felt barren.

The work I do today is, in many ways, a continuation of that lesson.

Every story shared, every walk taken, every invitation to pause, notice and reconnect has its roots in a journey I never would have chosen, but one that has shaped who I am.

My son was here for only nine weeks.

Yet the love he left behind has travelled with me for twenty-four years.

And perhaps that is what love does.

It continues.

For many years, I thought I needed to keep going, keep striving, keep proving I was coping. But grief has a way of teaching different lessons.

These days, I live by a simple philosophy:

On the days that I can, I do.
On the days that I can’t, I don’t.

Not because I’ve given up.
Not because I lack resilience.
But because I’ve learned to listen.

To my body.
To my heart.
To what I need.

And I want others to know that this is okay too.

It is okay to rest.
It is okay to stop.
It is okay to sit one out.
It is okay to not participate when you simply don’t have the capacity.

The world will tell you to push through.

Life has taught me something gentler.

Sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is honour where we are.

And so today, as I remember my son, I offer this gentle reminder to anyone who needs it:

On the days that you can, do.

On the days that you can’t, don’t.

Hello on this sunny Monday morning 😊

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

I visited Duffryn Gardens National Trust Saturday to experience the wisteria at dusk, it didn’t disappoint 🍃

It also provided me with lots of storytelling ideas. Here are just a few of the photos I took. I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to, or if these photos prompt a story for you, please let us know 🌳

Today, Sir David Attenborough turns 100 🎂

I took this photograph yesterday while doing a bit of gardening.

And it made me think…
An ant colony.
Tiny pathways.
A hidden world that I had no idea about until I moved the stone.

And I thought… this is exactly what David Attenborough has spent a lifetime teaching us to do.

To pause.
To look closer.
To notice that wonder does not only exist in grand landscapes or rare creatures, but also in the small, intricate worlds beneath our feet.

Before I ever understood storytelling, I understood wonder.

I think that’s why nature and stories have always belonged together for me.
Both ask us to pay attention.
Both invite curiosity.
Both remind us that there is more to the world than rushing through it.

Much of the work I create now, encouraging children and families to reconnect with imagination, creativity, and the natural world comes from that same quiet invitation:

Look closer.

Because when we do, the world changes.

Thank you, David, for helping generations of us see the beauty in even the smallest things. For as long as I can remember, Sir David’s calming voice has been a presence in my life. Inspiring, creating interest, and showing us how amazing our world is, and just how wonderful he is ❤️

Good morning all. Story Keepers, Story Tellers & Story Finders 🍃

Bertie will be showing up a bit more. He’ll be bringing stories, creativity & nature based inspiration to you. I hope you enjoy this next chapter for us, and more importantly, for you 🌳

Good morning all, it’s been a little quiet here at The Cat’s Pyjamas. There are a few changes happening. A natural evolution, we might say. A line in the sand, metaphorically 🍃

But, not all lines are drawn in haste.
Some arrive quietly…
carried in on the tide,
shaped by time,
and placed, gently, but deliberately, where they are meant to be.

This week, I find myself standing here. On the beach, drawing that line.

The Cat’s Pyjamas isn’t ending, it’s becoming what it was always meant to be. Stretching into something wider, softer, more rooted in purpose than ever before. More family focused.

And beside it, something new begins to take shape.

COED DANU CIC

A space for stories, connection, and quiet transformation.
A return, in many ways… to what has always been calling.

This isn’t a bold line carved in anger or urgency.
It’s a natural one.
Like driftwood finding its place on the shore. Just like this piece I found 💙

A line that says:
from here, we begin again.

The Cat’s Pyjamas Kindness Co. will be a place for children’s stories, resources for storytelling, and more family focused. I hope you stay for this new chapter 🌳

Thank you ❤️

This time of year can be challenging for me, and my family. And many others. I always find peace when I go to the forest. But it’s also seeing bluebells, as I did yesterday. And during my walk, I wrote a story (in my head at first). I also came upon a letter we received 24 years ago when we were at Great Ormond Street. It holds many memories ❤️

I’ve named the story - Nimue - the name means water, balance, and reflection 💙

🍃

Nimue 🍃

Every April, she returned to the forest.

Not because she had to. Not because anyone asked her to.

But because something in her life had quietly rooted itself in this place.

Every year, the forest met her the same way.

Soft edges. Unhurried. Welcoming.

She had walked these forest paths many times. Not every day, but often enough. And on days that mattered to her.

That morning, the forest was just beginning to wake. Broken sunlight shone through cracks in the branches. Ahead of her, she saw a familiar sight. Bluebells had just started to bloom. Their time here short.

She paused to take it all in, as she always did, because this was where it lived.

•

The story continues below. I hope you like it. And I’d love to know if you ever come up with story ideas when out walking, or any other time.

🌸 I have a lot to reflect upon this week.

Just lately, I’ve been hearing some of the most inspiring stories. Not on stages, and not in crowded rooms filled with bright lights and applause, but in quiet, intimate spaces, in corridors, in seating areas, in the in-between moments of ordinary days.

They are shared by people who often don’t realise they are inspiring me at all.

These are the stories I carry with me. The ones I think about long after the conversation has ended. The ones I hold space for, because they remind me of the kind of person I aspire to become 🍃

In these moments, there are no egos, only a quiet need to be heard, a gentle offering of trust, and a shared understanding that stories matter. These are the stories I yearn to listen to.

I’ve never been drawn to fancy stages or bright lights or inauthentic exchanges. I find myself searching for something much deeper, something real, something human 🌳

Because for me, it’s the stories that shift our perspective, the stories that remind us there is still hope, the stories that show us that people are still good, that truly matter.

These are the stories I want to protect, to gather, and to share with care, because they remind us who we are, what we’ve overcome, and how deeply connected we all truly are.

Just this week I’ve been to see a rock band with my daughter, The Wiggles with my granddaughter, her mum, and my daughter. I’ve heard stories that were oh so special. And said goodbye to a friend ❤️

But it’s been a week of deep reflection 🌸

Life can be fragile, and it’s been a reminder to live life to the full. To cherish the small moments, for they really are, the big moments 🍃

I hope your week has been one of love & gratitude 🫶
