Lucy Skylark Entry 16, 18th May.
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

Lucy Skylark Entry 12, 7th May.
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

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

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

Lucy Skylark Entry 8, 18th April.
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 have helped nurse Mrs Webfoot’s houseplants back to health, mostly without magic, and it was good to feel that maybe I have made an impression beyond being… Continue reading
