Lucy Skylark Entry 22, 4th July.
Bea asked us if we’d been to the ice cream parlour, Dessert Island. Suniya blushed then, and I felt embarrassed too. I told her about the chef seeming to have a glamour, and no reflection. She looked intrigued. “That’s certainly interesting, but I don’t know that I feel happy with you assuming there’s something wrong.” Continue reading

You’d better keep your eye out for Supernatural News this week. I wish I could tell you what sort of article to expect, but I’ll tell you what happened from my point of view! Olive has been staying over at Dune House, with her maid Hatty bringing things over, because there are still reporters hanging… Continue reading

You’ll know by now, I hope, that there was some drama with trying to deal with the problems at The Green Dragon Inn, and also that I am not lost, cursed or worse! Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 18, 7th June.
Dear Vera, It was so good to see you last week. I’m sorry I was so quiet – Teddy says he really enjoyed meeting you though. Mum and Dad seemed so pleased to have me back… At first. And I thought they’d be interested to hear my adventures, hear about Suki, Maksym, Bea and Olive,… Continue reading

You’ll never guess what – I saw Jacob again! It was very mysterious… I was in a quiet part of town where there are just a couple of specialist shops that are sometimes useful, and he was wearing a dark jacket even though it was warm, his hood up! He looked around like he hoped… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 17, 25th May.
Something strange happened the other day… Although I didn’t find it strange so much as surprising! I found an injured sparrow on the side of the road, and when I reached down to check on the poor thing, it looked up at me and said, “Help”. In English. Out loud. The sparrow then passed out… Continue reading

Thank you so much for the “magic candy”! I was still a bit confused after reading the description but I’m glad it reminded me about Shimmers because Bea came into the coffee shop during my shift yesterday and we got chatting. She got a bit excited about the beads even though she’d not heard of… Continue reading

Dear Lucy, My dear, dear child. It’s so soon since I last wrote to you, but I was really quite moved by your description of trying to find clarity, pleading with the moon and stars! It does not sound silly. But I do feel for you, pleading out for an answer, receiving only silence in… Continue reading

Your package couldn’t have arrived at a better time. I was in a very low mood following Mrs Webfoot’s anger, and the next day Mrs Edgwood came around and they gossiped about me rather loudly, and Mrs Edgwood told me that Suniya had gone home in tears. I tried to phone her but she didn’t… Continue reading

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
