Absolutely not! Watch out for the little folk, they can hear you.

"The woodland is alive, and the fairy courtiers dressed in their livery jackets, have appeared outside the centre of the Wood, high on an ancient mound. They raised their long trumpets towards the sky and heralded a most magnificent trumpet call, for the attention of all the creatures everywhere. They wish to make a grand announcement about the 'Royal Fairy Wedding' that is to take place later today"

And they were there, in Vale Park.

Sorry Pablo, Good original post, sorry we all get a bit carried away with the fairies. They won't be back after this.

If you look very carefully at the background of the 'Days and Moments' picture there's someone on the hillside pushing a bike.

Wonder if it's an "Elf & Safety" officer checking up on Vale Park?

I think you're right, Geekus, and it looks as if the fairy at the left of the group has spotted him. Next, she'll be warning the others to hide the "herbs".

You talking about 'pots' again?

The next time you two ..Sherlock Gnomes and The Herbie Fairie are in Vale Park, just try to find that tree. It's obviously watched many a Changeling being pushed in a pram over the years, but I bet you can't find it!

If by any small chance you do find it, I would love to hear from you.

It looks almost too big to be any of the trees in Vale Park. I wouldn't be surprised if that particular tree hasn't been superimposed for effect.

It is there, in Vale Park.

Don't forget, faeries are only tiny.
