Story - Lacey The Fairy

I love exploring and it was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a drive with my friend Laura to Lacey's Creek, near Dayboro, a spot I'd never been before. We set off, on the long drive to Dayboro through the countryside past many tall eucalyptus trees and hills covered in forest. We played forest music in the car, enchanting music that reminded me of the mountains and countryside. We went through Dayboro, the charming little country town then turned right at the pub and kept driving past more charming country houses and beautiful countryside and mountain views. Eventually we turned left at Lacey's Creek Road. This was it, the unexplored area I'd found on my phone's maps. We were so delighted at what we saw. The landscape was of many farms of rolling grassy hills with forest in the distance. We saw many cows grazing in the fields. I loved how exploring new places was like the world opening up to me, revealing how impossibly big the world is. Eventually we came to an especially beautiful view of vast hilly fields and big hills in the distance with a farmhouse. "Let's stop and take pictures" I said to Laura. As we stopped by the side of the road I saw a big patch of beautiful purple wildflowers by the side of the road. I took a picture of them then the beautiful view. All of a sudden I thought I saw a yellow butterfly fly in front of me. "Hi I'm Lacey the fairy" I heard a light female voice from the fairy. What? It couldn't be? "Oh my gosh!" Cried Laura. It wasn't a butterfly, it was a little fairy. "Come see my friends Mr and Mrs Clover at the farmhouse! We are really friendly here! Laura looked at me and we decided to follow the fairy. We climbed the fence and walked along the soft grass in the sunlight over the hilly ground towards the big hill where the farmhouse was. When we got closer we saw a friendly lady in a patchwork dress waving to us. "Hi I'm Mrs Clover" 
"We're Addy and Laura. We were just driving here to explore here today." 

Mrs Clover ushured us into a cozy farmhouse with old paintings on the wall and crocheted rugs on the couches and the smell of warm cookies and tea in the house. 
The little yellow fairy had followed us and was still with us in the house.
Maybe some places were just enchanted. 

"Well here at Lacey's Creek the creek was named after Lacey the fairy" said Mrs Clover
"let me tell you a story" 
"10 years ago a young neighbour came running to my house and said her friend was growing wings and being turned into a fairy by one of the little fairies. We want to stay humans and not be turned into fairies. "
The little fairies said they would stop if they were given wildflowers and fresh cookies once a month. 
So now that's what we do. So there's a little story for you. 
So there's your lesson, keep the fairies happy here or they will get up to their tricks. There's lots more stories here too, it's a magical place. 
Me and Laura had definitely had a magical day and we'd be on the lookout for fairies, maybe they disguised themselves as butterflies and we'd be thinking of all the magical stories of this place. Would we catch the fairies bathing in the creek? Or sitting on leaves chatting to eachother? Maybe running around in the fields with the cows.

dreams Wednesday 18 sept 2024 - Olly Alexander

Last night I dreamed I went on a date with a guy who liked me and was also doing this challenge where you went through rooms and ended up at this one where you had to take care of bats and go through the process of taking care of them to get out of the room.  The guy was rating me on different qualities compared to other girls he dated. He rated me highly except for being social and in groups. He told me I should be a model. I said I felt different from everyone else because I have a different personality and my personality is too unique and I don't fit in because of that.  I dreamed I kept meeting old friends from school or childhood and reconnecting with them.  I also dreamed I went to a family bbq and saw lots of family there including newborn pets that my brother and his wife had.  I saw a vision of my grandma when she was 50 dressed up for some celebration and noticed she had the same hair as my mother.  I dreamed I knew Olly Alexander when he was younger a...

Poem - Koda The Kitty

At my new house  Now living with housemates  There was word around town  That a new kitty was around  His name was Koda  He came to us young  He was a sweetie and good company  A friend a good one  But when Koda was grown  He could show his other side  Believing he's a king above humans  He could be rude  And hiss when they don't do what they're told  Like letting him into my room  Or daring to pet and touch him  When he's not in the mood  Like every cat I guess he's just unique  He loves his cat towers  He loves his food and his treats  He gets on mostly well with his sister Luna  He's glad to have a companion  So the days aren't too lonely and long  But Koda is still good company  He likes just spending time with you  And he can still be a sweetie  The way he looks in my eyes it's true  There must be love there  Koda is Koda  Hissy and royal but f...

Dreams Tuesday 10 June 2025 - Aliens

Last night I dreamed aliens came to earth but it wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be. I first saw them zooming in a spaceship across the sky. Then the spaceship helped a ship full of people that had turned over and brought it to shore.  Robert Irwin was in an apartment next to me and said to me that he'd seen the alien spaceship too but he wasn't afraid.  I think the Aliens wanted to be in control and lead everyone but didn't want to kill everyone just maybe any leaders that resisted them.  And I think they liked people and were interested in us and kind of saw us as pets.  I think in my dream they took a human form and were bigger than us.  I think maybe the Aliens also wanted to help the world and help resolve wars etc as they wanted to step in and help humans.
