I thought that was a newish car from...Volkswagen, maybe?

Something else I need to learn to cook, then?

my mother was quite supersticious and held that green was an 'unlucky'
colour - especially for children. I - aged 5 - complained that green
was my favourite colour and mum would never let me wear it.

That was until I came in one day and announced that I had met 'the Queen
of the Fairies" in the lane behind our house - and then went on to
describe not Disney's Tinkerbell, or the cutesy Victorian style fairies,
but quite clearly the traditional Sidhe - tall, slender, riding horses, etc.

1) I shouldn't have known about *these* "Faeries" because no one had
told me those stories and there were no books in the house that would
have described them.
2) there was no lane behind our house - our garden backed onto the
garden of the house on the next street.

Mum went very pale as I described this, then Gran laughed and said
"might as well let her wear green - seems she's already got *their*
attention anyway."
