Dear fairy friends and supporters

Over the hot summer weeks and months that Aimee spent in Yorkhill children’s hospital undergoing further treatment, dreams of going to the October Faery Ball in Penzance kept her spirits up and her energies much focused on this important date in her schedule. Thank you to the very many kind hearted folks who sent cards and gifts to Aimee while she resided in our specially created Fairy Hill Sanctuary ­ a special place filled with beautiful fairy images and gifts and where melodic fairy music created a very special healing place for Aimee to get through her treatment.

Thank you also to our dear friends a NABs who created a magical fairy themed countdown calendar for a hundred days before the big day ­ with each new day adding every more sparkle and ever more fairies to fill Aimee’s room.

Whilst at the time each day itself felt like a hundred, soon the most magical of all days arrived ­ the day to come home, to convalesce and to finally plan the detail of this most magical journey that would take Aimee ­ and us – to a this new world of enchantment which had beckoned us all for so long. Aimee was not disappointed.

Our sincere and grateful thanks to Aimee’s supporters who helped to make this wonderful trip possible ­ from the amazing football supporters of the Dee supporters club of the Dundee Football club who helped to fund our travel expenses, to our dear friends Be and Drew Montague of the fairy wholesale company I Do Believe and the owners of the Mount Haven Hotel Penzance who together made us such welcome guests during our stay in Penzance.

Magic was most definitely afoot on the night of the Faery Ball when uncertain of our final destination we simply joined the band of fairy folk making their way along the streets of Penzance to the big event. Even more thrills and surprises awaited inside the hall as we met for the first time ­ countless ordinary folk revealing their most magical selves and long established faery folk who had sent such love and support to Aimee throughout the last three years. Even in disguise we knew who they were ­ David and Myrea at Fairiesworld who for Aimee set the magical world of faery in motion; Linda Ravenscroft who had so delighted Aimee with many little fairy surprises; Brian and Wendy Froud, who for Aimee are truly the Fairy King and Queen of her fairy world where Wendy’s Healing Fairy had become such a blessed gift for Aimee over the years, and meeting new and delightful friends Josephine Wall and her husband Bob, as well as Alicen and Neil Geddes Ward of the Orkney Fairies Museum. Wings of all shapes, colours and sizes fluttered across the hall proving just how much this fairy world was ready to embrace us ordinary mortals ­ a momentous evening for us all.

Over the following weekend we were humbled that support continued and extended to include the Fairy Box raffle hosted by Be and Drew which gathered £500 for our funds with wonderful donations from Brian and Wendy Froud, Josephine Wall, Be and Drew, Linda Ravenscroft, Alicen and Neil Geddes Ward and the stunningly gorgeous fairy jewellry of Ethera. The event also helped to set in place important seeds ready to bring the magic of Fairy Box south of the Border.

Home now and the Faery Ball is a much cherished memory that will carry us all forward in the months ahead as Aimee’s progress is monitored by her Doctors in Dundee and in Glasgow.

faery blessings
Rosie and Aimee
