OUT IN THE WOODS AT NIGHT

What are you doing here and more importantly, can you sing ?

For a while it looked like none of the Bears would be able to make it to the PARTY.

Irene and Jarvis gave all the Bears a very bad name indeed. Irene was meant to sing the song in the Bear’s Parade. Her voice was still sweet as Triflora Honey but she was still unbearable.  In the end, it took all 3 Wizards working together to put a magic ring around Unbearable Forest long enough to keep Irene and Jarvis inside and let the other bears go to the Party.

The Bears still needed a Singer. They tried out some very strange Singers and were beginning to GIVE UP. Noone sang like Irene !

Except …….. if they ALL joined in and simply sang along together …. nothing sounds as good as a big group of friends and family singing together.

LOOKING GOOD–LET THE PARTY BEGIN.

Just as the Sun goes down and all the night lights come on, out come the Flower Children. The Oddling Dreamer leads them out and he is SO excited. The Cats are purring and the rest of Triflora clap their hands and paws and wings. The  food smells delicious. The Music has started and the Flower Children are dressed in every colour there has ever been. They each wear their own perfume  as they dance and at each Party a new perfume comes out for the very first time. The Party has begun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE ORCHESTRA IS PLAYING.

THINGS THAT GO WRONG ON DAY NUMBER ONE.

When people are waiting for Parties to start, things can sometimes go a little bit wrong.

When people are waiting for Parties to start, things can sometimes go a BIG bit wrong.

That’s why it pays to keep an eye on things.

It looks like Bettina and Andy have had a quarrel but they seem to be sorting it out. I do not know why Andy thinks a bean is a good way to make things right.

One of the things about Ginger Tea is that it gives me plenty of sharp eyes to look about with and saves my feet for dancing. It means I can see where things are starting to go wrong and send someone in to do something about it before it turns into real Trouble.

Looks like a slight problem has occurred in the Edible Orchard. Carolina is up in the Chucklefruit Tree and she is certainly chuckling. Dennis has his Party outfit on and Carolina thinks it is pretty funny. I don’t think she will come to the Party with him looking like that and her eating one chuckleberry too many. I had best send JAINSTAR to have a talk with them and get Carolina away from those berries.

 

 

Hmm. Looks like Snow White is too scared to come. She still thinks her Stepmother will find her down here in Triflora. This looks like a job for the TGLS Fable Arts. No evil Stepmother will be getting to Snow White with TGLS taking care of her. TGLS plus 7 Dwarves will keep her safe!

 

 

THE TGLS.

Oh No ! Mr William White is at it again. How did he get out and about. There he is – going mad at the Sun again. If he keeps doing this, the Sun might take himself off and hide behind the Clouds, or even decide to set earlier than he should.

Mr William White can be a right pain in the neck!

What will we do with him ?

 

 

Ah well. It is the first day of a Party and there are always strange things that happen on Day 1. That ‘ornery giant chucked big rocks at any of the boats ad ships coming in from the Perfumed Sea. Its lucky he is such a bad tosser.

I haven’t even looked at the food or the music. There are enough people taking care of them. The dragons are already deep in the cooking pits but I haven’t seen Rose at all.

It’s just about time to get dressed. This is going to be one Fancy Party.

KEEPING AN EYE ON THINGS

Its lucky I sat down here at Poppy’s Place. The ginger tea is waking me up and making my eyes sharper and sharper. That means that I can see even better than I usually can and I DO like to keep an eye on things. I have already found one Flower Child out and about and dressed in someone else’s blossoms and now – just look at what I can see from this Bench.

If that is a Flower Child, I will eat my own broomstick.  Ah well lets send him in to Una and Veronica and let him try to tell them that he is a 4 leaf clover – with a beard.

 

The Cats are out and about this morning. Bringing in the Flower Children and keeping them happy and busy.

You look absolutely gorgeous; says the Mighty X to Yvette.  What an amazing dress!

Mighty X is rounding up the Flower Children who are out and about in the Cottage Gardens and the Flowerpots near the Shops. He already has our so-called 4 leaf clover tucked into his fur and is taking him back to Oddling Dreamer’s tower. Its not time for the Flower Children yet – not even the ones with beards.

Veronica enjoys the first day of the Party for No Reason at All. She loves the Children and all the colour and beautiful smells that they bring with them. She makes sure that they get some rest and plenty of good food for the day. She talks them into having a bit of a sleep because they just might be up all night long once the Party gets going. The dance of the Flower Children starts just as the Sun sets and then the Party truly begins.

Veronica and Anthony Alsatian enjoy a quiet afternoon tea while the Little Ones sleep. Anthony takes care of the outfits and Veronica has been fitting them and spinning up new ideas.  In the room above, the Oddling Dreamer is dreaming the songs for the Dance. He has 4 more to dream up.

Ev is kind and clever and Trilfora is very happy to have him come and live there.

 

SHAKEY COWS

Triflora has been shut down for a long time now. All the doorways have been blocked and strange things have been happening. The time has come for us to begin telling you about them.
