Sunset at 7:45PM today

At same time I ‘snapped’ this rosebush. The reflected light from the sky gives a mystical effect. I almost expected to see fairies come out to dance on the lawn below the bush.

..i was waiting for the Cottingley fairies to appear!


Well Dave, even with the help of magic, 280 miles is a long way for fairies to travel.
http://www.cottingleyreflections.com/

However, we do have our home-grown variety and here is a tale about them:

“In West Sussex, once upon a time, two men stole a pig, and put it in a sack, and laid the sack down upon the ground just over a hole in which dwelt a fairy. This kind fairy contrived to step into the sack, release the pig, then temporarily become a grunter. The men took it in turns to carry the sack, and as one of them was toiling with his heavy load up a steep ascent he was startled to see a very little figure running close by his side, and asking, in a melancholy voice, "Dick, Dick, where be you?" and much was his alarm increased when a voice from the sack replied,

"In a sack,
Pick-a-back,
Riding up Beeding Hill"

The frightened men of course threw down the sack and ran away, and the good fairy resumed his own form and returned to his home by the pigsty, rejoicing that he had saved the pig from the thieves, it being the property of a man for whom the fairies had a liking."

Sorry to go so far off-topic, but you tempted me.
