Not the only one
Oh my goodness, something very strange has happened! It turns out that I am not the only witch here after all. Mrs Webfoot told me that she had been chatting to her friend at the market and a little cottage near the cliff path has been let to a girl, a girl with magical powers!… Continue reading

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

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

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

Hatty has come back from seeing her elderly relative, who is apparently doing a lot better, and she had such a spring in her step. She approved of my tidying, in fact seemed quite impressed. She had even brought me a present. I hope my parents are paying her enough – she brought me an… 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

I’m in hot water with Aunty Ermingarde. I don’t mind, really. I went over for tea and I was telling her about going off fortune telling and she took it really personally, shouting about my lying to the town (is it my fault they won’t pay me if I tell the truth?!) and then she… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 14, 15th May.
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

Olive Framley Entry 8, 12th May.
Last night I couldn’t sleep and I got up and wandered about. Firenze stirred for a moment, looked at me curiously, stared at me with an almost impertinent pointedness, and then pulled a leaf of sage off the plant and disappeared. I took this to mean that he must have understood our conversation. I wondered… Continue reading
