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

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

Mrs Edgwood came by again yesterday. She wondered if I could give her niece a hand with her biology homework, because I was so clever with plants.

I went out to buy some food for Suki but the best shop for it is this poky little store on the edge of town. I wasn’t there long, but the thunder started while I was paying and by the time I got back down the street it was pouring. There was a bus shelter,… Continue reading

Suki’s eggs have hatched! They are dear little chicks, although very noisy, and since she is on her own, Suki needs a lot of help getting enough food for them. Teddy does not like this. He wasn’t fond of Suki anyway, and, now there are a whole brood of chicks too, he is very restless.… Continue reading
