Téas Fairy God Mother, Ange, warmly welcomed us into her home. Ange is also the Fairy God Mother to goldfish, a reptile named Tony, seven Turtles and believe it or not, two little piglets.
They children's interest was captured with all there was to see and hear about.
We were lucky enough to watch the piglets having a bath.
Sadly, Ange had found one of her fish had died overnight. She had left the hose running in the pond and the water had got too cold. Ange included us in a little ceremony to farewell the fish; lighting candles and singing a farewell song.
We brought the fish back to school and buried it in the garden.
The girls collected flowers and once again sang to it as we covered it over.
There were many questions...
Where does the fish go?
Will he go to heaven or stay in the ground?
When I spoke of the fishes body staying in the ground and his spirit going to heaven
there were more questions...
Where is his spirit?
Do we have a spirit?
Is it in our heart?
Why can't we see a spirit?
What a wonderful day. Thanks Ange for letting us come to visit.
