I'd like to say this. About the fairy picture with Phil's poem. . . I went googling for autumn/leaf pictures and found this one. He pointed out that the images were copyrighted and to please ask permission before using them on other websites. Usually when I meet this situation, I just go back to the feast that google images are, and find another picture which isn't. (I often also use pictures I already had before the blog, which I'd just saved because they were lovely, but have no idear where they came from, hoping that if the owner sees them they'll be pleased, but I'd be entirely willing to remove them at the owner's request).

This picture however was so compelling, I simply couldn't find another that I felt fit the poem as well, so I emailed Marcus, despite my impatience to put up the post. In fact he responded very quickly, and enormously politely, I was surprised how fast, lol! Must have been the very first thing he did yesterday morning. He also said he wouldn't mind a link.

So you'll find that here, and also on my sidebar (Fairy Dreams). His site is lovely and well worth a click (and a bookmark). And thanks again, Marcus.
