‘I saw a row of swans and they had crowns on their head. It was a misty day and there seemed to be a pink mist. The swans came out from a bend in a moat and swam towards me with a pink mist. There were glittering crowns on their heads. I went to get my camera and the pink mist vanished and the swans’ crowns had vanished. I felt very sad that the swans went back to normal.’ ‘Fairies are guardians of thin places and protectors of nature’.
