We all know that there are pixies living on Dartmoor. Back in January 2014, we Blondes had an encounter with them http://wp.me/p2OiIR-W1 They were playing tricks on us then, but they are best known for leading people astray in Dartmoor’s mists.
What you maybe didn’t know, is that Dartmoor sometimes has elvish visitors. These elves come to our fair moor every January, their trip organised and paid for by Santa as a thank you for their help over Christmas time. The elves love dipping their toes in the chilly Dart, dancing on top of tors and saying ‘boo’ to sheep (there aren’t many geese!)
You might be wondering why you have never seen any elves on Dartmoor. This is because their very favourite game is hide and seek. I was very lucky to spot this little fella up at Grey Wethers.
I have not believed in elves before, but now, with that proof I am totally convinced. By the way, I used to live in Cottingley about two hundred yards from the location where the famous Cottingley fairies were photographed, but I never saw them.
Fairies are much more tricky to spot than elves. Although we Blondes have seen both on Dartmoor.
That is one big elf! Did he eat all the Christmas pud last year?
you’re really lucky – I was near Grey Weathers last weekend and I didn’t see any elves, but then I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face! – even when I could open my eyes against the hurricane. I suspect any elves were sheltering up at Fur Tor or had been blown away.
