Another excerpt for you all  :






“I can hear them singing” shrieked Blossom.

They found the tree and sure enough they were sat there, with an audience of two voles and of course the squirrel family.                                                                                                                                       “That was beautiful.” Jack said.                                                                                                              “It’s the fairies!” Whitney cried out.                                                                                                         “We are so glad to see you, we were only just talking about you this morning, how are you all?” asked Whitney.                                                                                                                                               “We are fine” Blossom replied. “Jack and I have set a date for the wedding and your concert is going to be the week after.”                                                                                                                                  “When is that? “Asked Celine,                                                                                                                “My goodness, its next week” realised Petal,                                                                                           “So your concert is in two weeks.  We have already told several chatty characters’ in the bird world to spread the word, so if you voles; tell the badgers and moles, word will soon spread.” “Have you told the lark?” asked Mariah. “I told the jackdaw and he is the biggest blabbermouth around so I’m sure the lark will know by now.” Daphne informed them all.         

 “I must say you all look happy and healthy enough” Petal commented.       

 “Never been happier” piped up Celine, “Although we do worry about Nigella, Sophie, Delia and Shinney!”                                                                                                                                                         “Maybe we can fly by and just have a look at them just to see how they are?” offered Jack. Celine carried on and said. “That would be absolutely wonderful, just to know they are alright and pass on to them that we are doing fine would be so comforting to us and them I’m sure.”                                                          “That’s not a problem” Jack responded.                                                                                                                         “We could go on the way back and take a sneaky peek at the goblins too, as we go by.” Daphne suggested.                                                                                                                                                                     “It’s a long way, so we can’t stay here very long.” Blossom interjected.

Summer nights were much longer now but the fairies knew it was a fair distance to go. Petunia was particularly concerned, because, she knew if she was out too long; Elgar would come looking for her and the others.

That was just what he was like, over protective.

“OK! One more song please girls and we will be on our way.” Jack suggested. “Here we go.” said Whitney. The girls sang their hearts out. They had never been happier and it showed in their singing.

“That was beautiful!” Daphne and Petal chimed together.                                                                           “Time to go.” said Jack, very bossily.                                                                                                 “Farewell, everyone, see you in two weeks.” The fairies all said together. Bye!” replied the chickens. It seemed like miles as they flew. “Are you sure we are going the right way” Petal demanded!                                                              “Of course!” replied Jack, “We lived in the hedgerow for long enough, we should know where it is.”

They could see the hedgerow up ahead, they were very anxious about what they might find, and how the chickens would react when they saw them. Petal saw Delia first she shouted to her -“Delia, Delia, we have come for a visit.” Nigella intervened “You are not welcome here.”
