Finding fairies - #fairyspotting #cicelymarybarker

Meadow Sweet Grove has experienced a record downfall of rain this Spring.  Most of the fairies are probably sitting by their little stoves and looking out longingly at their gardens. When they do go out, I imagine they dart for cover, hiding under handy toadstools along the way.  Still, May is the perfect month to search for fairies that might be starting to play in the garden after those long winter months.

I took my favourite "fairy spotter" with me and she pointed out many fairies and woodland creatures in the Grove.  I had to be quick with the camera!

An absolute abundance of froggies!  Well, it has​ been raining an awful lot ...

​And even Robin Goodfellow, or Puck - as some know him - was found amongst the leaves ...

Finally, a gnome atop his new wishing well home (dry as a bone) and a fairy, trapped under ice all winter, returned to the Grove.
