Movements in the World and in the Mind
The last day of the year makes one reflect and look ahead. It's a bit odd; just because some pope back in the 16th century told us that this is how we should divide a year we now get horrible worked up about a day we call the 31st of December. You should've seen the... Continue Reading →
I hadn't gone to Lowlands Country for Christmas for quite a few years and have therefore been able to avoid tedious yet slightly pressurised family gatherings for quite some time. My dear sister, however, gave birth to her second child last month and as the funky Dark Fairy aunt it is my moral fairy obligation... Continue Reading →
While the dawn of a another Hippy New Year is approaching Jesus would be turning in his grave, if he hadn't resurrected according to Christian teaching, if he were to witness St. Paul's Cathedral's cowardly behaviour towards the encampment on its doorstep. As a regular reader you would know my stance on the execution of... Continue Reading →

This has been the longest cyber space silence in the young history of Dark Fairy Adventures. Particular reason? Dissertation madness, well-deserved Easter Holiday, exam mayhem… So, no particular reason, really. It’s a bit like going back to gym or dance class after you haven’t been for a while; the longer it is you haven’t been... Continue Reading →
My dear sister texted me yesterday evening telling me to go on skype because she had something to tell me. It sounded rather serious and I assumed she had some serious gossip. But what she told me was far too serious to be called gossip. The second child of my eldest cousin on my mums... Continue Reading →
Due to human convention there are certain times and occasions when it's deemed appropriate to utter words of wisdom filled with happy wishes or empathy. Like a wedding, the arrival of a new-born, someone passing on or -how appropriate- at the turn of the year. Those words of wisdom, in most cases, don't tend... Continue Reading →
This year I genuinely made an attempt to do it like most people do it; I had booked myself a ticket to Lowlands Country to spend Christmas with the whole family. I hadn't been to Lowlands Country for Christmas in years and my reasoning was that if I didn't go this year I wouldn't go... Continue Reading →
