Greetings to you I hope you are well as you will have note'est if you live in the northan parts of the would the days are getting shorter and the dark of night draws in. once at this time we would gather round the fire in some old inn at the days end and listen to news from near and fare. And if you were lucky enough a wanderer of the world would walk through the doorway. For they walked in the wild places of this land and saw fare more than most could even dream. So you could imagine that word would spread quickly through a small village as soon as one of these wanderers was see entering. Inn keeps would bring up an extra barrel of ale and lye out more food in the kitchen for he knew the house would be full that night.
folks would come from fare and wide wanting to hear tales from distant lands and of strange creachers fearsome beasts and legends of old. like the tale of a young farm worker called Jack who was out in the woods late one night he had been sent to collect more fire wood. he was just on his way back when he tripped, his foot slipped down a rabbit hole he fell over and broke is leg. Jack screamed out in pain but he was too fare from the farm for anyone to hear him. know he couldn't walk Jack managed to drag himself to were a tree had fallen in a resent storm and lye his back agents the trunk and as he sat upon the cold earth and feeling sick with pain. Suddenly Jack thought he could see a pale light in the distance slowly the light grow and he could see a fare figure coming towards him. Soon the light seemed to filled the wood bright but soft like the moon Jack could now see that the figure was a wood Elf she had long golden hare draped around shoulders she wore a silver gown which trailed along the floor she was the most beautiful thing Jack had ever seen. As the Elf knelt down in front of him she placed her hand upon his leg were he had broken it from the fall. Jack asked who she was but she did not speak she just gazed into his eyes and Jack felt at warm rapt in the glow all about him he closed his eyes and drifted into a dream. jack suddenly came too just in time to see the Elf leaving he quickly stud up and called "wait you can not leave me here". The Elf stopped turned round look at jack and smiled then gazed at his leg. Jack then released than he could feel on pain his leg was on longer broken he quickly puled up his trouser to see his leg was healed but when Jack looked up at the Elf all he could see was the dark of the forest. he made his way back to the farm all the wail thinking of the beauty he had seen that night. Jack explained to the other farm workers what had happened to him that night but non of them believed him and just said what he had been drinking.
mouths past and all Jack could think about was that night in the woods he would often tell people what happened but like everyone before non listened and began to think he had gone mad. On evening Jack and the other workers were planting the crop by the old forest and as Jack stud up and wiped the sweat from his brow he saw the same pale light fare in the dark of the forest that he saw many mouths before. Jack dropped his spade and began to walk towards the light. one of the other workers called to him asking him ware are you going and all Jack said "she is calling me home" and carried on walking and was never seen agent.
If you enjoyed this tale share it with your friends and follower after all isn't that what tales are for.

First timer
This as you can see by the title is the first time I've written a blog. well that's not strictly true I do tweet and I also post random rants on Facebook but this is the first time I have really blogged. so what will I be writing about I hear you as. Well as a fellow that is interested in many things from art and music books and writing these are but a sample of the topics that I may touch upon as my fingers dance about the keyboard. sorry about that I blame the lemsips and other cold remedies currently flouting around my innerd's. so you will have to forgive me for the mistake and frequent rambles and rants. so what am i currently working on well at the mo i'm writing a collection of children story's, the first of these will be called THE GOBLINS FLOWER GARDEN and will be available to download on kindle in October. And all been well I shall have two more short story's out in mid November and for a limited time you will be able to download The goblins flower garden for free. so I'll be kept quite busy in the coming weeks ahead will writing as well as all the other day to day activates I fill my life with which you will hear about in the coming blogs post and tweets.
so for I bid you farewell and thanks for tacking the time to read my rambles.
