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

Dear Talia, It’s been a difficult few days for poor Firenze. I think Hatty must’ve disturbed the enclosure, 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 tarot reading. Continue reading

Dear Talia, I had a strange encounter this week. Coming back from Coastal Coffee the other night, I ended up getting turned around and I had an odd little encounter. I must have taken a turning too soon and what I thought was the path back to Crag Cottage took me through some woods and… 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 7, 14th April.
Teddy appeared at the dining room doorway. “Lucy, come quick! Something very weird is happening!” I rushed upstairs and discovered he was right… there was a storm howling outside my window. One half of the house was in sunshine… the other being battered by a full-on storm. Continue reading

Dear Talia, 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. She’s a scruffy looking kid even when she’s at work – she got a job at Coastal Coffee before I did, but the kid is selling coffee… Continue reading
