Fairy tales enchant us since the day we hear them.They take us to a world of dreams, a respite from our daily worries.We adults are also in constant search for our dream land where fairies dwell, the land where love and beauty rule. We are child in our heart and open to gift of innocent joy.Thanks for sharing a lovely poem.

Thank you, Bharati. The valley of the Brock is very much part of my childhood, My mother was born there and her father owned much of the land on the North side of the river. My cousins and I spent many happy times there and it is a magical place still.

I've already written a comment on part 3. This is just to say that you should use numbers in titles - writing 'part 1',2,3,4, PH will show them in the right order.. When a new visit there? the valley is waiting for your return.. ;)

Yes, that's a good point, Fabrizio. I know my translations of Louise Labe's sonnets are all in the wrong order. Will take some time this week to review the position. Thanks. I'm afraid the River Brock has been rather naughty yesterday, breaking its banks and causing severe flooding in its lower reaches. It took my daughter nearly two hours to get back to her home in Lancaster. This is usually about a 40 minute trip. I'll be making a new visit soon. been writing about those blessed Committee meetings this morning!

The night progressed with fun and games and laughter and day came with interesting touch of sun rays. Wonderful imagery is drawn here...10
