Posted by airyfairy. Longer days at last, and slightly warmer weather, although Storm Dave can take his leave as soon as he likes.

A very pleasurable task – it’s obviously a subject that both recalls funny situations and produces some wild flights of fancy. Thanks again to everyone! The Gold Medal goes to SoulFire77’s ‘Ratoncito Perez Is Not A Fairy’. As a Fairy, I will overlook the odd disparaging remark about my kind, because this...
