Tales from the Toadstools
Alexandra lives in Hampshire with her lovely husband Pete, a beautiful, impish little faery baby called Megan, and a very grumpy old cat.
She believes in faeries, talks to frogs and collects skeletons, insects and pebbles.
She occasionally gets time to paint in between emails, chores and being a new mum.
“How do I live in the Magic? Through the love and support of my family and friends.”
Alexandra has been a member of Enchanted Folk since September 2007

Spring is such a powerful time of year, a wonderful time to put new ideas and ventures into motion. A time for new beginnings, to reflect on what has been and to look forward to what the future holds in store.

Wistmans Wood, Devon's oldest woodland is near Tavistock, England. The wood is often referred to as "the most haunted place on Dartmoor", a place not exactly lacking a few ghost stories! The stories claim that after sundown the woods' inhabitants roam the moors; faeries, ghosts, druids, hounds and the devil himself. Locals don't go near the wood after sundown, which sounds very sensible under the circumstances!

Our garden has, for too long, been somewhat neglected. Not intentionally, it's a time thing, I'm sure many of you have the same problem!

A while ago I finally completed something I've attempted to do several times over the years; a Christmas themed painting. I've started many, and to my shame, finished none. I'm very good at starting paintings!

It has been about a year since I first put some of my rambling thoughts down for this wonderful Faezine. I remember writing about the bright springtime bursting all around us for that first article, and here we have come full circle.

I’m delighted to say that we’ve been blessed yet again in the Dawe house. Just over twelve weeks ago we celebrated the safe arrival of our new baby boy. He’s adorable, and very hairy! We’ve named him Jacob, although he is often affectionately called ‘Wolfie’, ‘Jacob the Bear‘, or ‘Monkey-Boy’! We’re sure the excess hair will drop off… eventually. His big sister adores him and likes to give him lots of cuddles and kisses, which is quite worrying for us as parents, seeing an enormous toddler about to sit on a tiny baby while yelling “CUDDLE” at the top of her lungs! Megan is fast approaching her second birthday, we’re not quite sure when she went from being a tiny baby to being almost two years old. I think we may have an infestation of some time-stealing goblins!
