Faerie land

"Faerie Guard"

"The faeries that live at merridale orchard are quiet and peaceful.

 

They are notable to defend themselves and rely on the sentry who lives in this gatekeepers house, to warn them when danger is near.

 

And Scrumpy is his name."

 

Seeing these incredible miniatures, brought back some wonderful childhood memories of a place we called Faerie land.

It was a beautiful wooded garden belonging to a neighbour across from our family cottage. There, we gathered well water in glass milk jugs, but not before we ran with the faeries. Zig zaging through the magical trees, chasing each other to the rivers edge where the giant old wooden water wheel cascaded and soaked us in mist.

 

Those milk jugs were heavy and cold and the journey home seemed endless, but we couldn't wait to return...to the wonder of it all.

 

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

― W.B. Yeats
