Winter is upon us and as I look out my window, it is the snow of the time of year that I see covering all that be as if coating or highlighting the outlines of the trees and so much that merely serves as a place for the white to gather up in display of its evident abundance to contrast all. I for my part have always found it fascinating how snow can make almost any scene or street seem picturesque yet there is something romantic in it as well as is the crystal ball with similar images.

In 1919 the entire town of Hibbing, Minnesota was picked up and moved to a new location two miles away. Okay, technically it didn't happen in 1919. The last building was finally moved in 1960. And technically it wasn't the entire town, either. It was only the buildings. The streets, sidewalks and trees stayed behind. Oh, and so did the iron mine it was sitting smack on top of.

The Fairyland Trust is a UK-based charity dedicated to inspiring children to reconnect with the beauty and magic of nature. Their aim is to create Fairylands, recreating habitats and making the land fit for fairies, places where children can experience real nature. They take their workshops, which include wing and wand making, fairy banquets, fairy books, and many more, to events around the country, allowing children to play creatively while learning about wildflowers, trees, faeries and nature. They also organise a hugely popular annual Fairy Fair in Norfolk.
But here’s the thing – the Fairyland Trust is run on very little money, and the future of these wonderful workshops and events is in danger. It would be extremely sad, both for the fairies and the thousands of children who experience their magic, were the Trust to cease their work. So now the Trust is inviting people to become Supporters. For a small monthly donation, Supporters will in return receive a workshop kit to make at home, a quarterly e-magazine for children and families, and advance notice and booking priority for all events.
