The fairies of the village of Berkswell

Primrose Meadowlace Fairy

Primrose Meadowlace adjusted her petal skirt and smiled at the gentle morning sun. Winter was fading from the edges of Berkswell village. It was time for her annual task.
Sailing low over the waking meadows, Primrose shook her silken pouch. Bright yellow petals cascaded through the air, settling softly into the warming grass.

Wherever they touched, pale primroses burst into bloom, their sweet scent melting the remaining frost.
Nearby, excited villagers gathered along the meadow boundaries. They searched the hedgerows eagerly, eyes scanning the green patches. Suddenly, a child pointed to the first cluster of soft yellow blossoms.
Cheers erupted through the crowd. The villagers knew the ancient truth: these first primroses foretold fair, sunny weather and a bountiful autumn harvest. Primrose Meadowlace watched from a dandelion clock, her heart full as hope blossomed across the village.

Fairies are living in Baulk Lane, Spencers Lane, Berkswell Village Green, The Well, Berkswell Spinney and Old Waste Lane
