‘I was staying over at a friend’s: there had been a party the night before. I was the first to wake up, and went out to the garden for some air. I wandered around, admiring and talking to the plants when I heard a ‘pop’, turned my head and saw something flying towards my face. It swerved at the last minute and flew in the direction of the last plant I’d been admiring, which is when I realised what it was. It was blue, around an inch to an inch and a half in height, was wearing blue clothing (a tunic or dress and cap) and dragonfly-like wings. It continued its flight ’til I could see it no more.’
