Spiralling down to the chamber of secrets

Can you hear the teeny bells of the feather footed folk?

Dance Camp Fairy

We went down to the meadow to tell stories of fairy folk and wonder tales of mischief and mayhem.
The impish Mike transformed me with his beautiful face painting and the fairy folk came in their droves to gaze at his artistry

Company of Liars

The lovely Tricia at the Roald Dahl Story Centre recomended this book to me and i found it very inspiring, it is about a group of mystical characters who travel together to escape from the plague, including a storyteller with a Swan's Wing instead of an arm.
He tells Hans Christian Anderson's stories about the swan brothers, and it has jolted me to add some swan stories to my collection.

Fairy Stories at Wisley

I spent a gorgeous day yesterday telling fairy stories at the magical Royal Horticultural Society.
The ancient trees and the blooking flowers whispered and sang their secrets in my ear and I repeated them in the form of a story.

He is the stig

Sonny, we loved him, and so did the wasps.


No he isn't. He is Matthew. Who worked brilliantly last week to create a very funny animation about a farting witch along with, Tilly, Kitty, Edwars, Sonny,Oliver, Jake, Jamie and William.

As soon as I can work out how to upload it, I will.



And goodbye to my friend Pesto, the warmth of Gipsy House in his wagging tail.

My tent goes down and I say goodbye to this view from my front door.....
