Lucy Skylark Entry 13, 10th May.
Well, the vegetable garden did not exactly go as planned! The trouble is, I can hear the plants and… well, some weren’t happy and some were very eager to please. Maybe the problem was that I was really keen to impress Suniya. She was worried about watering seedlings for so long and though I can’t… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 7, 9th May.
Firenze has given me a shock. I knew we had a bond and I thought it was surprising when I had a future flash, but I have discovered that I vastly underestimated him. This morning I went down his enclosure and he was gone. I was frantic and I called Hatty, who denied having seen… Continue reading

I have been helping Mrs Webfoot in the garden lately and I feel that I’ve been “hearing” the plants and trees more and more. She is happy for me to help her with anything except her herb garden, which she is very protective over. Mrs Webfoot has very odd assorted mix of gardening products and… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 11, 30th April.
Dear Vera, Thank you so much for the yarn and threads and the advice. I hope this parcel arrives all right – please do be careful with the encyclopaedia! I went to see Maksym and Artem again yesterday and I took along some bracelets I found at the market. I had spent some time practising… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 10.5, 27th April
Dear Lucy, My dear, you did the right thing in reaching out to me! Of course we must help this new friend of yours! I fear you have exposed a little hypocrisy of mine, because while I firmly believe that our powers are not something we should shy away from or be frightened of, I… Continue reading

You will not have even read my previous letter as I write this, but I lay awake tossing and turning last night and worrying about this woman, this Mrs Webfoot. She seems to know about me and even know when I’m lying… so I realised I could go one better. Why do years of work… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 5, 25th April.
The strange weather continues. Yesterday it was raining on one side of Crag Cottage but not on the other. The town was covered in rain, and over the sea it was bright and sunny. I wondered if it was some sort of trick… something meant to draw me out. I put on my coat, and… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 10, 25th April.
Yesterday I woke up with a headache and all I could see in my mind’s eye was rain… in a circle. I’ve had feelings about the weather since the strange magical storm and I decided I needed to find out what it was. Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 4, 23rd April.
Dear Talia, It’s been a difficult few days for poor Firenze. I think Hatty must’ve disturbed the enclosure, or else the new surroundings have confused him, as he ended up climbing out and I ended up with him curled up next to me as I tried to plan a tarot reading. Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 9, 20th April.
Do you remember my magical barrier net that I put in place at the Fae Cinema? Teddy and I went in to watch a film the other day and the girl at the counter stared at us in the most hostile way. “You’re not welcome here,” she said. “Your little net was a trap. You… Continue reading
