Unromantic Rites of Passage
Lucy Skylark Entry 3, 24th March. Dear Vera, Oh, I feel like such a stupid, silly child. I’ve been lodging at Dune House just over three weeks now and everything seemed fine but this morning Suki my bird friend nudged me awake and said she thought she could hear something. I thought she was just being… Continue reading

The Gateway
I got out that map of Barkmouth you gave me and looked at it, and it looked like it was shining somehow, right near the cinema, the one I thought might be staffed by Fae. Teddy was eager to get out and he was keen to find out what might be happening… And he pointed… Continue reading

The Harbinger of Spring
A very pretty little bird landed on my window sill. I went to give her some seeds and then she chirped at me rather insistently that, as a witch, I was obligated to give her room and board. Well, I was very surprised to hear a bird talk but she didn’t seem to think this was at… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark’s Magical Year
I’m so glad you agreed to be my mentor. It was very kind of you when you could be enjoying your retirement, so I’m grateful for all your time and advice. I’m so excited to be taking my first steps to becoming a full time witch. Continue reading

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

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

Lucy Skylark Entry 18, 29th May.
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
