Abigail The Breeze Fairy

Rachel and Kirsty were relaxing in the garden. Flowers were in bloom and the sun was shining. Mrs. Tate came out and suggested that they should go to the summer festival. Kirsty’s paternal grandmother is going to compete in the annual cake competition. 

At the summer festival, they arrived at the cake competition. It was blowing around like a loose tornado. Everyone did their best to keep their tents down, including the vendors at the cake competition. A boy lost his balloon and Kirsty grabbed it in time. The boy was grateful for Kirsty’s bravery.

As they arrived at the competition, they met Grandma Tate with her famous chocolate fudge cake. Among the other competitors was Mrs. Adlestrop, a cranky woman who always wins with her pastries. This year, Mrs. Adlestrop is adding her lemon cake. Before Grandma Tate could place her cake down, the wind blew out of her hands and landed on the judge. It was a horrible accident.

While cleaning the cake mess up, Kirsty spotted a goblin go underneath the cake table. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find him. Kirsty began to look at the cakes when she saw Abigail the Breeze fairy on a carrot cake posing as a figurine. Hiding by one of the capable tents, Abigail explained that she could sense her feather nearby.

Just then, they heard rustling nearby. Rachel, Kirsty, and Abigail thought it was a goblin, but it was really Mr. McDougall’s dog, ‘Twiglet’. Mr. Twiglet explained that someone has stolen his dog’s food and Twiglet is tracking the thief down. Abigail hid in Rachel’s pocket so she wouldn't get detected. When Mr. McDougall asked them to watch Twiglet while he helped out fix up the other tents, and the two girls agreed.

Outside, they observed the pigsty when they spotted a balloon in the strong wind, holding still. It was strange because it was capable of handling strong wind. Rachel and Kirsty had a strange feeling that a goblin might be on it. They turned into fairies and flew up. And sure enough, they were right. A goblin was playing with the Wind Feather and making strong storms. He also had the smell of dog food breath, explaining what happened to Twiglets food. His breath was as stinky as cheese and liver. 

The goblin tried to get away by cutting loose a sandbag, but the balloon won’t go any higher. When all hope was lost, a rush of strong wind came in and flew the feather out of the goblins hand. Abigail swooped in and saved the feather. Everything turned back to normal. Not wanting to expose the troublemaking creature, Abigail used her Wind Power to send him back to Fairyland.

Rachel and Kirsty arrived at the cake contest in time, only to find out that Gran Tate won the cake contest. The judge was pleased by the taste, especially the extra chocolate in the cake. Mrs. Adlestrop was peeved that she lost the competition and left. They’d figured it’s about time they have a new winner for a change.

Later that day, Raachel and Kirsty left for the barn while Gran Tate stayed behind to support her best bud Mable for the vegetable competition. After placing the Wind Feather on, they asked themselves, ‘What feather are they going to find next?’

The End.

Oh look, it’s me doing the thing and winning the stuff!

I wanted to post the first and second place winners, too, because they are my awesome coworkers, but I don’t know if they want their faces on my tumblr. lol. Our store swept the regional comp and the other two will be going to Finals in November! I’m 100% fine with not going to Finals. Third place is PLENTY for little me. Look at my wee glowing mushrooms. It’s hard to tell in the photos, but they slowly pulsed on and off and it looks so magical. They turned out so cute... I’m so happy. After they announced winners they had us each sit down with a judge and go over the scoring sheets and the lady I talked with couldn’t believe this was my first competition and that I had only been decorating for a year.

Party in the park

Don’t miss this year’s Brimmington Midsummer Festival, which will offer a fun-packed day for all the family.   

The annual event, which is held in Brimmington Park in east Peckham, offers a wide range of activities for all ages, from Zumba dancing to fire engine tours. The pearly king of Peckham will also be making an appearance.  

Fran Beckett, chair of the Friends of Brimmington Park, said: “Family fun, good food, bargains galore, local musical talent and much more will make the Brimmington Midsummer Festival an event not to be missed.  

“Our end of Peckham often gets overlooked and the festival provides a unique opportunity for people from different backgrounds, cultures and generations to come together to celebrate the good things about our community.” 

Other activities will include crafts, bric-a-brac, face-painting, free bike repairs, top tips for pets, sports and family games. A homemade cake competition will be judged at 3.30pm and an all-age fancy dress making contest at 4pm.
