‘My friend and I were playing with little bits of stones and coloured beads, pretending we were making a meal for fairies and we saw one watching us. I remember we whispered ‘shh’ so as not to frighten her. The fairy creature was about the size of a grown-up’s hand. Her wings were a pale lilac and folded across the front of her body which looked like she wore a long dress. We both knew there were fairies and just accepted her being there. We would be aged three to four years. I’ve always felt honoured that I saw what I did.’ ‘I remember I just KNEW [that they were fairies] and so did my friend.’ ‘[Fairies are] something other not humans but part of earth’s creatures or spirits of nature.’ ‘I do think we have lost communion with nature and communication with so much.’
