replied. “It has been two years since we last talked with you. In the last two years I have grown eight inches,” standing as straight and tall as he could to prove his point.
    “In your time two years have passed,” said Bluebell amused. “Time passes slowly in my world. We do not get sick or old as you do in your world. It seems to me that we have only been apart for a day or two.”
    “Cool,” said Kevin. “That would be great if our time passed like yours; I could stay on school holidays for years instead of weeks.”
    “You wish.” said Della laughing.
    “Be careful what you wish for when you have the wand in your hand,” said Bluebell. You could wish yourself into my world. Then what would you do Kevin? Your mother would be worried about you and not know where you were.”
    “We would love to see your world but we would want to come back to our world. Could that be done Bluebell?” Kevin asked.
    “Yes,” said Bluebell. “This is Midsummer's day; one of the most magical day's of the year in your world and mine. When you are ready, tap the wand three times, and then say ‘take us to the Magical Fairy Glen’.”
    Kevin repeated Bluebells chant. Suddenly there was a strong breeze and flash of light. They were both twirling round and around as if in a whirling pool of water and bright illumination all around them, transporting them into the enchanted fairy world.
    Then suddenly all was still. They were not twirling around anymore. Dazed, the children realized that they had been twirled around and down into a pool of silvery water. They were floating in a silvery sparkling lake, with a beautiful waterfall cascading into the lake from a cliff above.
    “Good gracious.” said Della, swimming to the rocks of the closest shore. She pulled herself out of the water, with Kevin close behind. They stood looking at each other in awe; their clothes were perfectly dry yet they had been in water!
    “There you are. Sorry it was such a wild journey for you but it is the only way for humans to enter the silver lake,” Bluebell said smiling sweetly. “Welcome to my magical world!”
    “Thank you Bluebell,” said the children in unison.
    “That was a remarkable experience Bluebell,” said Kevin.
    “Follow me” Bluebell said as she flew ahead of them through the trees and dense under growth, which seemed to part magically for them to pass through. There before them was the Fairy town. There were little mushroom houses with little red roofs and yellow front doors, another house with the entrance in a tree's roots. Its front door was purple.
    “Where is your house Bluebell?” asked Della.
    “Over there.” Bluebell as she pointed to a hillside covered with buttercups and daisies. The little house had a blue door and windows set in the side of the hill. “Come in, we can have a cup of tea.”
    “We will never fit through your front door,” said the children. “We are too big.”
    “Not now,” Bluebell said with a twinkle in her eye, tapping them with her wand. “If you take a good look at one another you will see you are now the same size as me.”
    “Oh dear,” said Della, “we are, how magical! Where are all the people who live here?”
    “They are sleeping. It is early morning here but they will all be awake within the next little while.”
    Bluebell showed them into her house. Once inside, they were amazed how roomy and bright it was. They sat and drank tea and ate hot buttered toast and chatted about their last two years. Bluebell nodded and listened quietly with a very knowing look on her face.
    “I must tell you that the fairy kingdom heard about your family's sadness.”
    “You did?” chimed the children, amazed.
    “Yes, “Bluebell continued. “We all know your mother she is a special friend to us. Did you not know that your Mother is a white witch?”
    “Mother a white witch? But we were never told,” said Della, “but it does explain how Mother knows where we have been and what we have
