Hi, Just wanted to say sorry  for being so late in answering friend requests, messages and comments.

I have been getting a secondhand computor set up, as my other one went to play with the goblins.


I did not realize how many photos and files I had that needed transfering, it took ages.


Will catch up with new friends soon

Take care Vampy

A very beautiful version of the famous song.

Hope you all enjoy it

I am definatly fed up today.

Yesterday I had to go to the Drs, I had an operation (Meniscus tear) about 4 months ago on my knee, it was painful for about a year, and took 6months to full recover.

Lately I have been in real pain again, same knee, this time a (Crusciate) ligament is torn, which means 2 operations in one, one to take a tendon from the hamstring, then graft it into my knee, all caused by playing sports, No, Running or jumping, No, its caused by my restless leg syndrome, which started playing up again.
I  already have very limited mobility because of M.E., now this.

Sorry its a miserable blog today,but looking on the bright side,I have a spray to freeze the knee,perfect for winter!, and 3 types of strong pain killers, So I feel a bit spaced out, and I slept al night for the 1st time in 3 weeks. So it's not all bad, I kid myself!!.

If anyone out there who draws fairy wings, I will definatly be needing some now.

I grabbed the first thing I could find, a small rotting piece of branch, I ran full pelt towards the creature that had its cruel fingers around the girls waist, I brought the wood crashing down on its head, the rotten wood splintering everywhere, the creature released its grip and the little girl fell heavily face down on the ground, I looked down as she lay motionless on the ground.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, on her back were the most beautiful golden gossamer wings,the same colour as the tiny dress and shoes she was wearing, they were crumpled wet and dirty, but even so they were like no other material I had ever seen.

Why on earth would she be wearing a fancy dress costume at this time of the day I asked myself, and, she seemed much smaller now I was close to her.
Suddenly I felt a searing pain, the creature was out of the pond and had its sharp fingers around my leg, I kicked out and it let go, crying out in pain the creature just stood there.

The next thing that happened made me think this must all be a bad dream, for the creature shouted at me,  "you didn't have to hurt me", well I was cold, tired,and dirty and really cross now",
Shouting in anger, I said "Hurt you", what about the little girl and my leg, knowing I sounded ridiculous talking to a smelly, ugly creature, the creature looked down as if ashamed, it was only then I saw it had, what can only be described as an Elf like face, it had thick eyebrows and deep set eyes and a slightly turned up nose, certainly older than the little girl.

It must be a bad dream, I had seen Elves in books, but, they weren't real were they? they were just storys, the creature laughed and spoke again,  "Well you dont even know a Fairy when you see one",dont be so ridiculous i said theres no such thing, I am a fairy said the little girl , standing beside me at this point, I looked at her, and just knew she was not lying.

I am the Autumn fairy, I bring light and life to the woods, she said, and he is a naughty Elf, he is supposed to be the Pond Elf, but he is always playing with the mischevious Goblins, instead of keeping the pond clean, so all the plants, trees, Insects, and little animals can have a drink, and now he's stolen my light too, thats why the wood is dying.

I looked at the Elf, " is this true", I didn't really need an answer, I could tell by his ashamed look it was.
So why did you steal the fairys light, because he cant see in the pond anymore, the little fairy chimed in, she was right to, it was black,smelly and filled with rubbish, in fact, the Elf didn't have growths on him at all, it was all rubbish stuck to him in a sticky goo.
I could see the Elf was starting to cry, changing the subject quickly, I asked where do you live then, the Elf pointed to the Old Oak Tree, there was a hole just big enough for the Elf, but I dont fit in it  anymore, because of all the rubbish on me.

The descision was made, right I said, I will help you tidy the pond, if you give the Autumn Fairy her light back, he nodded.
We set to work it was certainly horrid, there was just so much rubbish, in the end there was a huge pile next to the pond.
It made me wonder ,how many careless lazy children and adults, dropped there rubbish instead of putting it in the bin or taking it home, never thinking of the consequence it could have on the woods.

As soon as the Autumn Fairy got her light back and the pond clean,the trees seemed to magically start coming back to life, they both thanked me, and I said dont forget your promise to the Elf as he at last climbed back into the Old oak tree.
They waved goodbye, as I set off home..

Everyday I visit the Woods just to make sure, sometimes I think I here the tinkling laugh of the fairys and Elves and the naughty chattering of the goblins.
