Olive Framley Entry 16, 13th June
I am pleased to report that “The Amazing Olive” was a success! True, there were one or two little swots who saw through some of the card trick. But they loved it when I made Maksym fly. Continue reading

Dear Talia, I needed some new clothes last week and so I took the train into Swalebeck, which has some more up-market shops, and I ended up spending what was left of my fortune-telling money on a new suit and some decent shoes. I still have my very paltry allowance, but of course now I… Continue reading

Firenze did something he’s never done before… He brought Maksym with him on one of his magical portal journeys! Maksym didn’t even seem surprised – he’d spotted Firenze and followed him. He said that he’d told his father he’d gone to his friend’s to play, in the same block where he lives… but he’d snuck… Continue reading

I saw Maksym again the other day! He was walking along by the cliffs with his father. They were some way ahead of me and his father was walking at a usual pace but Maksym kept darting back. I realised he was trying to practise making the rocks fly again. He didn’t notice me, being… Continue reading

Focusing my powers away from divination feels cleansing at the moment. To thank Hatty for her gift, I decided to see if I could make the chores around the house a bit easier. I thought it would be good if I could make the hamper lighter to make picnics easier, and I realised that there… 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

I was in two minds about doing any more fortune telling sessions at Coastal Coffee – then I went today and that just about made up my mind. I still had a few customers, but there was also a lot of distractions. One of the women who I used to do readings for, who apparently… Continue reading
