Olive Framley Entry 17, 19th June.
Lucy came by this morning with a letter from her mentor, Vera. She said that there’s been some strange activity – sounded like a haunting, or some sort of spirit infestation, at a pub. You absolutely cannot tell Daddy that we went there on a bus, Talia. Honestly, it rattled like Daddy’s old Land Rover,… Continue reading

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

You’ll never guess what – I saw Jacob again! It was very mysterious… I was in a quiet part of town where there are just a couple of specialist shops that are sometimes useful, and he was wearing a dark jacket even though it was warm, his hood up! He looked around like he hoped… 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

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
