As our Bluebells wake it’s worth pointing out the rules

1 - Bluebells ring when fairies summon their kin. But if a human hears them your death will follow

2 - It is considered unwise to trample on bluebells, because you would anger the resting fairies & your death will follow

@LycanTrin Happy birthday, my love!

[He gives you a cheery kiss]

I baked you all your favourites so I hope you're hungry! After we've eaten, I've planned an outing. Just the two of us together to wander as you wish. What do you say?

Wassailing the apple trees occurs on Old Twelfth Night, 17 Jan. The Queen of the #Wassail (good health) offers trees in the orchards cider-soaked bread. She then knocks on the trunk of the oldest tree to awaken the Apple Tree Man, the fertility spirit within. #BookologyThursday

A witch ought never be frightened in the darkest forest… because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her.

@OuiOuiBonnefoy You and your wild fantasies, love.

[She was completely right. Arthur stepped closer to pull them into a hug]

But as a gentleman it'd be a bad thing to lie and say I wouldn't do my damnedest to make sure these pot stirrers think twice before attempting to start another rumour.

[Arthur Kirkland @Franceisanass]

@OuiOuiBonnefoy [His brows pinch at the thought. Of course he trusted Francis but if he was even the slightest bit out of his right mind when someone claimed to have slept with them, Arthur would've definitely thrown the first punch]

It's a life-ruining act, dear. It can't just go unchecked.

[Francis Bonnefoy💕 @OuiOuiBonnefoy]

I might be a lot of things, but I’m no cheater~. Arthur isn’t either. He’s too much of a gentleman, and we both swore to nuke one another if there’s infidelity

Back to school! 📚

🔬 This week, The Princess Royal opened the South Coast Institute of Technology’s ‘SMART Centre’ in Southampton. In a partnership between Southampton Solent University, the University of Portsmouth, four colleges and local businesses, the centre looks to equip students with knowledge and practical skills.

📖 Her Royal Highness also officially opened University of Gloucestershire’s new City Campus. The entirely renovated building, at the heart of Gloucester City, will serve as a hub for teaching and community services.

Since the last ice age English Bluebells have thrived in our woodlands

For 10,000 years & with no indigenous threats, as an invasive & poisonous species, they slowly got on with their lives

And then non-native Muntjac Deer from Asia escaped from the Woburn Abbey estate

@OuiOuiBonnefoy I love you as well, Francis

"your husband is so fine you two are very lucky people"

An age ago I might have disagreed with you and conjured up something to deny your words. But now, I suppose I am rather lucky. Even if his favourite hobby is to get on my bloody nerves all the time.
