Hello fireflies!
How have you all been? I am still in Wales working at the SeaWatch Foundation, I have only three weeks to go now until I return home. I miss all of my famly, friends and animals so much! I love working here but three months is a long time to be away from them. I hope that I will be able to place more posts to you all, and take photos when I get back. I don't have an SD slot on my computer! I have the cutest hat for when I am out on the boat collectng data, it is a spring green wool slouch beanie hat with a dark green bunny on the side. I love it, and it is sooo warm and snuggly. It's gorgeous weather and I wish for a twilight summer party with lanterns and such. I have been swimming in the sea and the water is so beautiful and clear; you can see the fish and crabs and everything in the water below you. I bought a charming copy of Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass the other day, it is material bound with printed flamingoes all over it. I also watched the Alice in Wonderland film by Disney the other day, I loved it so! I have finished reading 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner'and it is worth reading if you are a Twilight fan. I hope that all is well and you are all enjoying yourselves!

faerie kisses <3

Spring Emergence

2010-03-01T14:32:00.002Z

Hello to you my dears how have you all been over these past few months? My blog has been in hibernation over the cold and sparkling winter. I have been baking gingerbread, following robins, making snowballs and building toasty fires. I hope that you all had a wonderful christmas and that you are having a splendid 2010 so far? Please tell me what you got for christmas? I am ever so nosey! I think this year is going to be better, I have discovered a new prince who is beautiful, lovely funny, sweet and kind. I am so happy! I have also got the voluntary placement in Wales that I had applied for after Liverpool was no more. Please let me know what you have all been up to! xoxox

I have not been on here for a while and for that I must apologise. I have been having a bit of a rubbish time, my boyfriend and I broke up, then my interview with the survey team in Liverpool fell through. Sadness -_-. So I am feeling a little lost at the moment. I need fireflies to light the way. I have never seen a real firefly or glow worm. I would love to see one though, it must be really magical. Someone tell me some happy things, the smile keeps fading. I hope all is well with everyone

The Wanderer Returns

2009-10-07T21:50:00.002+01:00

I have spent the last two weeks out on the sapphire ocean, watching the dolphins, counting them, taking pictures and working out who is who. We also came across two harbour porpoise when the sea was breath-takingly still(I spotted them too, yay!). I stayed in a tiny historical fishing village called Gardenstown, in a weathered cottage where you could hear the sea rushing up to the sea wall and see birds wading in the shallow pools that appeared at low tide. I met loads of lovely people who were fun, kind and caring. I miss it so, as well as the people I met (Even though only for a few days but became good friends). Surveys would be my ideal job. To do surveys living in Gardenstown would be my ideal life. I found out upon my return that I have been offered an interview for a job with a survey company near Liverpool for 2 or 3 months, potentially long-term. I am a bit apprehensive and excited all at once. My interview is later next week, I shall let you know how it goes. The downfall of the interview is that I have had to cancel my voluntary work in Gweek Seal Sanctuary. I suppose there is always next year.

I hope all is well with everyone and that you have all had an eventful couple of weeks,

Bon Voyage!

2009-09-19T23:49:00.001+01:00

I just wanted to say thank you to you all for leaving such lovely comments! It makes me smile when I read them! I am going away for two weeks so I just thought I would leave a note saying farewell to you all. Research trip here I come! I will let you all know all about it upon my return in two weeks' time. Take care

I am listening to a recording a friend made for me. He leant out of his window in the middle of a thunderstorm and recorded it for me. Sometimes it helps me to fall asleep, the sound of the rain bouncing off the sodden earth. The rolls of thunder somehow make me feel happy and at peace. It is such an amazing thing, thunder, following shortly after the brilliant flash that illuminates the entire sky, so intensely that you can see the face of the person you are with. It draws you closer together, witnesses to a beautiful yet destructive entity.

I wonder what whales make of thunder. Surely the sound of electrons reacting together travels through the depths of the ocean? I wonder if they, like me, are drawn to the waves of noise? If the humpback whales sing back to the sky?

A 28 foot juvenile humpback whale was found dead in the Thames river today.It makes me sad. Humpbacks are found in the European Atlantic, but the poor soul was so far from home, it did not have much chance of survival. It would have probably starved and most certainly become severely dehydrated. I wonder if Naval sonar was the cause, or maybe disease? Both of which may cause the whale to become disorientated. I'm sure I will get the report sent to me at some point. This is why I strive to become a marine mammal scientist, so I can help work towards reducing these occurences, particularly if the causes are anthropogenic.

I wonder what whales and dolphins I will see on my cetacean research trip. I leave for Scotland on Sunday, I cannot wait!

Magic white rabbits

2009-09-14T22:26:00.003+01:00

Some little rabbits hopped into my room the other day. I think they like it here, and are moving in. They have tiny outfits, and tiny pink noses. They have befriended a little baby mouse named Edward, who has travelled everywhere with me. Soon I shall magic them a house called Applewood Cottage, with a blue-green roof and a white front door. I have also bought them some furniture, a magical house for magical furry white rabbits. I would like to get them a tea set, so that they might join in with the tea parties I share with the ghosts and faeries in my room.

Sad Face

2009-09-09T22:03:00.002+01:00

I am feeling a little sad today. I wish to snuggle up with my prince but he is faraway. I wish to whisper until the early hours with my best friend but she is even further away in Australia until January. While I am here awaiting the return of both. At least I have Jake and Pixie to snuggle up to. It's just one of those days. Sigh! I shall have some tea and slip into dreamland. Tomorrow is another and hopefully brighter day. Goodnight everyone

An Introduction

2009-09-08T23:23:00.006+01:00

♥ I thought it was about time to take a picture of my dear little Pixiedust, peering out of a teacup. She is rather shy but she is very pleased to meet you all. Her favourite things are strawberry drops and roaming the house in her ball. She is the eighth hamster I have had from the age of six. The picture is a bit blurry. ♥

♥ I tried out some of the shadows from my palette. The colours I used here are carbon for the outer corner, nylon for the highlight and inner corner and Deep Truth for the lid colour. ♥

♥ Please ignore my hair, I need someone to sort it out for me and make it look nice.
The necklace I purchased from Forgefashion on etsy.com. ♥

♥One last picture to get you in the Halloween spirit (a bit early I know) but look how cute this coin purse is. I found it on eBay. ♥

Inspirations for today:~

♥ Moulin Rouge
♥ The Victorians
♥ Childhood memories
♥ Midnight

A Little Luxury pour moi...♥

2009-09-07T22:59:00.005+01:00

I recieved my MAC palette today.

The colours are (from left to right):~
♥ Carbon
♥ Sketch
♥ Blackberry
♥ Cranberry
♥ Antiqued
♥ Mystery
♥ Goldmine
♥ Retrospeck
♥ Nylon
♥ Deep Truth

I have been saving for ages for a palette. The pigments are so vibrant and the shades are stunning. I can't wait to try Deep truth, a sparkly dark blue. The colours I chose are very autumnal. I also bought a pigment called Melon, but my camera passed out before I could take a picture.

Jake got a new wooden tunnel to play with.

He can hide from the birds in there. He doesn't like birds much.

Sleep Tight....

2009-09-05T23:33:00.002+01:00

I found another picture of Tess, how she looks now that she is all grown up. There is also a picture of some toadstools I took whislt on a midnight walk in the woods, and one of me in a top hat and gloves being silly. The picture is slightly blurred, but I like it anyway. I do take some random pictures. I was going to go to bed, but have become distracted by the computer. I saw a barn owl sitting in the cherry tree on our front lawn. The nights are definately getting colder; I love it as it means i can layer up and use my hot water bottle and throw and sleep cosily whilst jack frost dances on the leaves outside, with the owl watching over him. I had a book once about a little squirrel and Jack Frost. I shall have to dig it out again as it reminds me so much of my childhood. That and another book where three little pixies help the faeries to paint the flowers using colours from the rainbow, drink the rainbow colours but become sick with multicoloured spots and tummy aches.

Inspirations for tonight:~

♥The moon, it's a full moon tonight.
♥Jack Frost
♥The colour green
♥Owls
♥Dreams

2009-09-05T23:21:00.002+01:00

I haven't been on here for a few days. I've just been looking through some old photos. This one is a picture of my baby Tess when she was a puppy (And my brother's hand). She has such a sweet face, she still does! I will get some up to date pictures of her on here soon, as well as Jake and Pixie. I am feeling so tired tonight, even the warm cup of tea is making me feel dreamy. I have ordered a MAC palette with some shadows and a pigment, I can't wait for them to arrive. I will show you guys when they get here. Sleep Well everyone

A curious mouse.

Jake

2009-08-20T10:22:00.002+01:00

I've been drawing lots of pictures today, like the quick sketch below of the sea the moon and the boat floating by, and here is one of Jake.

2009-08-20T09:23:00.004+01:00

Whispers carried on the breeze
pass me by with hidden smiles.
The waves that rush and sweep past my feet
return once again to the sea.
The stars reflecting upon sapphire surface,
guided by moon we will sail.
Sail, sail where'er swans will lead us,
past mermaid cove and coral lands.
The ghosts be our company,
until we dreamily reach home once again.

I am extremely happy today (apart from being told off at work, sigh!) as my Prince and I had a big talk last night and we both feel a lot happier about our situation now.

Pixie is snuggled up in her cotton fluff, and beside her is a strawberry drop half nibbled. The milk drop has dissappeared entirely. Jake is sleepy and is lying on my bed. He finds the heat bothersome and occaisionally hops off the bed to drink from the saucer I have left out for him. He has berry drops to nibble which are placed around the room for him to find.

Things I love today:~

My Prince
Black and orange ribbons in the post for Halloween
Glitter sparkles across my pillow
My bed ~ so sleepy!
My new bag and purse ~ cosy, pretty woollyness

I have decided to buy some felt and create little random things, like a pumpkin, toadstool, maybe a bird?

I will find out how to put pictures on here soon, I promise.

I had a pink donught today, with pink icing and white sprinkles. A treat to cheer myself up. I miss being at university and having something to work towards. My heart drops everytime I think about whats happening between my prince and I. I don't think he loves me anymore. Jake doesn't like it when the tears fall. They make his fur wet.

I am impatiently waiting for autumn to arrive. I can feel it now, summer is gradually fading; the light lingers a little less each night as the weeks pass. Nights are becoming cooler. The leaves are starting to prepare themselves to be swept away in the icy breeze. And yet I feel as though the summer drags. Which is a shame, because summer is beautiful, but I am an autumnal child at heart. I crave the toffee apples, bonfires, pumpkins, fireworks, log fires and wrapping up in layers. The first visit from Jack Frost. Scarves and hats. Steaming cups of tea. Marshmallows. Homemade ginger cookies.

Can't I just grow some irridescent wings and fly away to some place where hearts can't toyed with? That's how things get broken.

2009-08-06T13:35:00.002+01:00

There is a new member of the household, a small delicate 8 week old ball of fluff. A sleepy baby called Pixie, who fits snugly into the palm of my hand. With tiny pink paws and a twitching nose. She nibbles on her first ever strawberry drop whilst taking in her new surroundings. She is enthralled that she has a silver food bowl filled to the brim all for her tiny self. She has yet to learn to make herself a nest from the pale yellow cotton woollyness. For now she sleeps on top of it, curled up and dreaming of faraway adventures. My mother fusses over her, she is not allergic to hamsters like she is to Jake the rabbit. Poor Jake.

Jake is hopping around in the garden, putting on acrobatic displays. He is a performer, he loves to be watched. I listen to the wind chimes as they tinkle in the breeze. Sitting in the grass holding a warming cup of tea in my hands, I daydream.

I wish we had our swing again, I used to sit outside for hours pondering, imagining, sorting out problems that I may have and working out what I want to achieve in this lifetime. I would even sit out in the rain at times, the big drops splashing down on my face, hiding any tears I had shed. I loved it best in the autumn when there would be a distinct chill in the air, frost forming on leaves, the tendrils of the pumkins growing at the bottom of the garden creeping across the lawn. I would read to myself, or draw whilst gently rocking back and forth on that beloved swing. My father had had to replace the seat several times when the wood would rot and toadstools grew on the edges. Eventually he took it down.

The summer always brings the butterflies and the bees to our garden. I would sit out there all day, if it were not for the fact that I have to drag myself to work. Mum is making vanilla cookie ice cream. She has promised me that she will make strawberry ice cream, using strawberries from the garden. The cat pads over to inspect the blade of grass I hold between my fingers, and then the empty tea cup beside me. He is not really partial to the dregs of tea at the bottom of the cup. He opts for playing with the blade of grass instead. The dog comes running over in her jealousy. She does not like it when the cat gets any attention from me. Tess drops her ball and demands that I throw it for her. I oblige.

Now I have to go to work. I have decided I may have a tea party tonight. With vanilla cookie ice cream.
