‘I’d been walking along a track at the side of a river through a wood in an area rich in fairy folklore. I’d gone there to take photos of the area as part of my own research into fairy lore. I got to a point where a large rock had fallen and blocked the path. As I stood there, wondering whether to try and climb over or go back, I spotted a tiny piece of paper next to my feet. On it was written the words ‘thinking of you’. I felt it was no coincidence that the rock had stopped me in my tracks just where I would find this tiny note. The logical part of me ‘knew’ it must be a part of a letter someone had torn up, but something else told me it was the fairies way of letting me know they are still there.’
