Hackfall Woods: 24-06-2025

Good Fairies 

Hackfall Woods benefitted from International Fairies Day this Tuesday as a group of good fairies fluttered in and did a number of jobs that needed doing. They were dressed in navy blue outfits - probably trying to hide the fact that they had wings. A member of public managed to capture these shy, magical creatures on camera, so read on if you don't believe me....

Now. You will need to look carefully in this
 fairy dell to see if you can spot 
those fairy folk at work.

A-Ha! There's two of them.
Wielding their magic wands
to clear a water course.

This one has swapped his wand 
for a smaller one especially 
designed to magic up steps in rock.

Tinkerbell Tim continued the heavy
duty approach at the Sandbeds steps 
where much TLC was required.

Gradually the steps were brought back
to their former glory.

Puck meanwhile, got busy
making sure water didn't wash down a path.
He was assisted by a very 
shy fairy who retracted his head
whenever the camera was about.

Even fairies need to take a break
 now and then. I wonder if they 
had fairy cakes for lunch?

Throughout the day they not only worked on
steps and drains but cleared trees that
had fallen across paths or were 
intruding across vistas.

See? I told you there were fairies in Hackfall Woods! Now you have seen the proof!
