The magic of the Midsummer Solstice among the leylines and Tors of Celtic Cornwall attended by people from all over the world to feel the energies of the folklore and legends and to be among the little people. David White of BBC Radio Cornwall took time to visit with his cameraman and before they left they had both joined the fairy clan, a pity they didn’t stay longer maybe around the bewitching hours of darkness and first light they may have really seen the little people.

Myrea Pettit champions environmental and conservation issues, her Last Dodo’s Ball painting has the same warning to the assembled company as voiced by Prince Charles who is now using the power of the internet to “inform and challenge” people’s thinking to tackle the world’s environmental problems.
The heir to the throne said that, ultimately, the battle against climate change could only be won by every person on the planet making environmentally-conscious choices.
The Prince of Wales is also planning to stage an open-air green extravaganza, it was revealed. Charles, who has warned that climate change is the greatest challenge facing man, is hoping to host the environmental event in 2010.
It is designed to rival Prince Albert’s Great Exhibition of 1851, London’s Evening Standard newspaper reported.
Hyde Park – where Charles’s great-great-great grandfather’s exhibition was held – is a possible venue

Persistent rumors that fairies were definitely seen in Gibraltar, were confirmed this month when the Gibraltar Magazine tracked down fairy artist Myrea Pettit and her husband David Riché to find out exactly what happened in the Alameda Botanical Gardens in July 2007.
It seems the population of that little British colony needed clarification. It was in medieval times that Witches and Devils were banished from Gibraltar, and it was thought that the Fairies had gone too.
Needless to say they are delighted to welcome back the Fairy sighting highlighted in the April 2009 Gibraltar Magazine
when he spoke to the assembled guests, inhabitants of the earth, promoting friendship among adversaries and predators alike that the destiny of the world is in their hands, and that without understanding among them they will all become as extinct and dead as the Dodo himself.
