§100

‘I would have been between three to five years old. I was in the garden with my sister who is two years older than me. We were doing our own thing. At the time we lived in a house, which is now the *** office at Sherwood Forest ***. So the house and garden is surrounded by ancient oaks and birches. I was actually at the bottom of the garden beyond the boundary fence facing towards an ancient oak, and there she was! I saw about a few feet off the ground, a female figure in a black flowery dress with dark grey hair and dark skin. In an instant I knew her name (I’m not telling) and that that she was my fairy mother! I can’t remember what happened after that. But I often think of her :)’ ‘No but I have had a dream since of a a knight being buried in that area and it had a special ‘feeling’ about the place.’ ‘Many years later in 2006, I was working on an artwork commission in Sherwood Forest Country Park and took many photos of a particular tree. Whilst looking through them at home I noticed I had photographed a bright light in front of the oak tree. The glow isn’t on the previous or following image taken only moments before and after. It’s extremely bright and couldn’t possibly be a reflection. Quite what the glow in the image is, I can’t say. At first glance it looks like a Tinker Bell with the light trailing behind. But it also looks like a glowing hand coming out of the tree holding a branching twig that does not appear also to be present on the images taken moments before and after.’ ‘I had a sense of knowing it was a fairy.’
