Inside the castle ..... wooo woooo ... there is a little girl ....
Oh yes gumnutbub…
…
This castle nestles in between green lush land and woodlands..
The little girl comes from a different time to those who live within the castle.
(We have gumnut, professor, horrace , little bee as well as the little girl whose name we do not yet know)
There is also a professor who lives in the castle…
Not sure if or how they are related…
(you will have to ask the professor…)
He is a very quiet professor …at times the little girl is not aware if he is there or not…
The little girl is learning to play the piano…
A lady who is very small is teaching her…She calls herself gumnut…
The little girl does not mind that she is so small…..because she does not get annoyed with her when she makes mistakes…
She looks forward to her time with gumnut as sometimes she sneaks in interesting plants and tree nuts for her to look at…
These are given to her as little treats…
The little girl treasures these tree ats with all of her heart…
.. Be patient….
The little girl chatters away to herself in her own little world as she spends so much time on her own…when not having piano lessons that is…
When having to stay indoors.. where she is confined to for most of the day ..she loves exploring the library that has wall to wall ceiling high shelving ..filled with books of so many different sizes.
There is an old ladder that slides across the shelves and this is what the little girl loves to do sliding backwards and forwards across the shelves…occasionally pulling out a book to look inside. If there are no pictures she hurriedly puts the book back….
She is mindful of being missed and does not want her secret adventures in the dusty old library room to come to an end..
The library is an expansion of her world……So much ancient history and life of those who have been before …..
She has a secret about her time spent in the library and why it draws her there …this might be revealed later…
During her visits to this library room she has met a bat who is extremely friendly….He flies around the ladder as she slides along….He also has helped her lift down some of the heavier books..
He is very good at dusting so that the little girl does not cough so much….he does not want to lose his new friend who is so kind to him..
The little girl has told him that he must be very careful if anyone else visits the library as they might not let him stay….
He has told her that his name is Horrace…..
Please be careful Horrace…she tells him each time she leaves the library….
During one of her visits a book seemed to be calling out to her…
.pick me…pick me…..have a look inside….I am very heavy you must ask your friend Horrace to help you so that you do not fall off of the sliding ladder
She lifted this fascinating book that talks.. carefully away from the shelf and very slowly climbed down the ladder.. holding the large dusty book close to her chest so as not to drop it…all with the assistance of her friend Horrace….
She has only managed to look at the book during two separate occasions….during the second…finding some pictures of a peculiar looking seal….
She did not know the name of the creature that looked partly like a female and had a webbed tail instead of feet….She read more and discovered the mythology of a selkie fowlk…
Turning more pages she came across another mythology all about a wet kelpie…
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if these two could meet….That would be such fun..
She said out loud..
Little did she know that her thoughts would become reality.. in another place far far away ….
She roams around outside.. when she is able to escape through the kitchen door….
This being only when the cook is busy in the larder and cannot see her…The cook is very slow in movement..
The little girl has a dog whom she adores.
What is his name?
She calls him red brown dog….
Wherever she roams around the castle …her red brown dog is always with her.
She runs as fast as she can twirling and twirling with her red brown dog leaping up into the air alongside her..
Sometimes they are joined by a little bee who weaves in and out ahead of them making their twirling more fun.
Whilst she has these various adventures….
Life is still going on around her …..
The little girl is unaware that there is someone else who visits the castle only from afar though…
At a distance
Observing
