‘Was digging up a garden bed and had a visit from the wee folk riding on a bee. At first I shooed the bee away but then it hovered six inches away from my face and I heard a little voice. I could not believe a fae was hovering in my face trying to make contact. I listened closely, looked closely to try and read her lips. She was too small though. But I think she was trying to keep me from entering a sacred place so I put in an old garden gate as a fence and had a psychic check out the land.’ ‘Less than half an inch tall.’
