Visitors!

Comings and Goings.....

It has been So Busy in my RL World, Dear Readers, with visitors coming and going, that very little has been done in my Mini Worlds! But, nonetheless, I was able to grab my Camera and follow Buttercup and Marmalade to the Rose Thorn Cottage on Distant Briar Moor. Some of you may recall that that was the very next house they landed at when Snowy saved Beatrice by scaring them away. Of course, they were not alone at Rose Thorn Cottage, but had landed right in the room where the Little Dreamers had been resting for what seemed like Forever and a Day!

"Who are you?" asked Beth, 

not a little surprised to see two 

Large furry Fairy Bearys land in front of her!

"Um.... I am Marmalade" said Marmalade...

"and this is Buttercup" she added.

"We're looking for The Cloud Palace..." said Buttercup.

"Do you know where the Cloud Palace is?" she asked hopefully.

"The Cloud Palace..." said Beth, 

I have never been there... but my Brother Perry has!"

"Perhaps he could help us find it...?"  added Marmalade.

They did not realize, but Tiny Bear was listening from the next room!

The minute he heard the words "Cloud Palace" he was all ears!

He had been to the Cloud Palace!

He jumped down from the bed and approached the Fairy Bearys...

"Erm.... excuse me," he said...

(and he was not worried at how big the Bearys were 

because they were Not the first Fairy Bearys he had encountered!)

"Erm.... EXCUSE ME!" he called loudly 

because nobeary had heard him at first...

 "I have been to the Cloud Palace..."

he said when he had their attention.

"That's where Perry found me!"

 

"Do you think Perry will show us the way?" asked Marmalade.

"Uh.... I don't know where Perry is..." said Tiny Bear...

"Maybe we can find him.." 

said Amy jumping off the bed.

"He must be somewhere near."

 

Amy and Beth rushed downstairs and asked Prudence if she knew where Perry was.

"I think he went outside to chase butterflies across the Briar Moor..." said Prudence.

"But I have not seen him in quite a while.." she added thoughtfully....

"But Time has not been reliable of late..." she added 

"It comes and goes on it's own schedule..."

"So I cannot be sure just When it was that I saw him last...!"

Amy And Beth did not quite know what to make of that.... 

so they went outside to see what they could see.

The Fairy Bearys had flown down before them, 

and brought Tiny Bear with them.

Tiny Bear was staring off into the distance....

The Distant Briar Moors went on and on until they met the horizon....

And a wide blue sky filled with puffy clouds....

The World suddenly felt Very Very Big!

"I think we should go That way..." said Tiny Bear, 

pointing towards the horizon....

"We flew up to a Cloud......" he said....

"Sir Orion carried me...."

"But I have no idea which cloud it is on...."

"Well, maybe we will find the directions if we start..." said Amy... 

"Or maybe we will find Perry..." added Beth.

And so they set off across the Distant Briar Moors....

And before too long they came to a beautiful Wild Garden....

Unlike anything they had ever seen before...

It was almost like a jungle!

"Oh look..." cried Buttercup.... "It's a buttercup!"

"And look here..!" called Marmalade.....

"It's a Marmalade Snapdragon....!"

"But wait.." called Tiny Bear...

"I see a house!"

And there in front of them they saw an Old Conservatory.

It looked as though somebody had just been there....

watering the plants.....

They approached a little cautiously... 

just in case they would surprise somebody....

and looked in the door.....

Amy felt sure she had been here before....

but perhaps she had only Dreamed of this place....

Beth was sure she had Dreamed of this place....

but was pretty sure she had never been here before.....

Nobody was there....

And it was hard to tell how long it had been....

"Oh look" cried Buttercup "It's an old write-typer!"

"And Books..." she added!

(She was especially fond of books!)

"Oh look...!" added Marmalade...

"Is that a cup of Tea I see....?"

She climbed right up on the chair to find out....

"Oh dear.... it is only coffee..." she said.

"I really wish I could find some tea about now" she added.

"Well, it's certainly not the Cloud Palace..." said Tiny Bear.

"Perhaps we should keep going...." he added.

And even though it was the sort of place they would have liked to stay in for a very long Time... 

they were looking for the way to the cloud Palace and it clearly wasn't here!

And so they kept going and before very long at all 

they arrived at a Very Lovely Old Dollhouse!

"I have been here before!" declared Tiny Bear....

"Now we are Getting somewhere!" he added bravely.

And he pushed open the front door and went in.

Well, Dear Readers, clearly it has been a very busy week of 

Coming and going and Visitors in more places 

than just my RL house!

And I hope you can Bear with me while we leave you here....

There are more visitors about to arrive on my doorstep too...!

All these Comings and Goings will be continued!
