‘I was walking down my driveway when I saw a cluster of yellowish golden-with-a-glow faeries swirling around at the end of my driveway. There were around five of them or perhaps seven. They had very upright tall slender wings and long slender quite feminine bodies. They were much longer than a dragonfly for size. I was trying to at first see if they were some sort of insect. But no, they were definitely faeries. I stood there for the awhile and tried very hard to make my eyes as wide as I could, so I didn’t miss the sight. They swirled around like a tiny tornado together and flew up to the forest which is about two minutes’ walk from my home. I really think they are thanking me for weeding and taking care of the forest.’ ‘Slender golden yellow all over with a glow’. Why fairies? ‘Because they looked like what I would describe as faeries.’ Fairies are ‘almost like spirits’. ‘I think we need to start being more caring toward nature.’
