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

Olive Framley Entry 6, 26th April.
You will not have even read my previous letter as I write this, but I lay awake tossing and turning last night and worrying about this woman, this Mrs Webfoot. She seems to know about me and even know when I’m lying… so I realised I could go one better. Why do years of work… 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

Olive Framley Entry 4, 23rd April.
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

Olive Framley Entry 3, 21st April.
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.

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.

Olive Framley Entry 2, 16th April.
It was sunny as I went for a walk down to the sea caves, but on my way up the uneven stairs, it started pouring. There wasn’t much to be done until I spotted the old lighthouse at the edge of the promontory, since it was too far to run home, so I decided to… 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

Olive Framley Entry 1, 10th April.
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
