The Storm and the Miracle
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. As I saw it in my mind,, the circle of rain spread… Continue reading

The Eyes of Mrs Webfoot
It’s been a difficult few days for poor Firenze. I think Hatty must’ve disturbed the enclosure while she was cleaning – or snooping! – 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… Continue reading

A New Friend
Mrs Webfoot’s friend Mrs Edgwood came by again yesterday, but thankfully not to gush about the new witch, Olive Framley, again! She wondered if I could give her niece a hand with her biology homework, because I was so clever with plants. Which was nice!

The Woman at Dune House
I’m glad my fortune-telling at the coffee shop is going well – not only am I raising money, but it gives me a chance to talk to people. I had a mad moment the other day when I even missed school. I remembered going to the housemother with a problem, or those two-faced girls who… Continue reading

The Stranger in the Lighthouse
You’ll never guess what. I am not the only witch in town! She looks awfully small, this other girl, with the fairytale name of Lucy Skylark.

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

Olive Framley’s Magical Year
I am glad you agreed to be my mentor. What a wonderful gift my Chinese Water Dragon was! I knew that I could never be a witch with a cat or an owl. Magic needs to be modernised. I have named my new familiar Firenze, after Florence, the beautiful city where I first realised I… Continue reading

A Magical Stranger
It had been warm when I’d left and I only had my hoodie with me, and there was a woman who’d also taken shelter, in her thirties or forties with bright red hair, and she was also without her coat. She smiled at me. “Come and join. The bus doesn’t stop here anymore though, so… Continue reading

Familiar conflict
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
