The fairy folk <strong>of</strong> <strong>Guernsey</strong> had been recovering from a sickness PV-20, and had<br />

just started to go out and about, when all the Humans started falling ill. The<br />

pouques had been sent a message to say that Gran’mère was livestreaming<br />

information on the pouques’ Facebook page. They all joined the stream and<br />

watched. A text was also sent to all their mobile phones.<br />

Once again, the Humans on the island <strong>of</strong> <strong>Guernsey</strong> are<br />

experiencing worrying times.<br />

Their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents underwent<br />

a loss <strong>of</strong> freedom which, in a way, is a little similar to what is<br />

happening with the tiny virus or nano-<strong>occupation</strong> that we are<br />

finding ourselves in today. In 1940, those Humans bravely<br />

worked together to protect each other, and they survived the<br />

war. They would be so proud <strong>of</strong> the humans today, that<br />

<strong>Guernsey</strong> stubborn spirit has risen again, with a caring<br />

community who are not hesitating to look out for other Humans.<br />

The Human leaders in charge <strong>of</strong> the island are having to make<br />

hard, difficult decisions to keep the people safe.<br />

As you know, our recent pouque virus, PV-20, meant that we,<br />

the fairy folk <strong>of</strong> this island, were locked down for a whole two<br />

months. It was only now we have witch <strong>Guernsey</strong> Gill’s potion,<br />

that we have all taken to stop us getting the virus that we can<br />

resume normal life. Now this new COVID-19 is happening to the<br />

Humans <strong>of</strong> <strong>Guernsey</strong>, and they have lost their freedom too. I<br />

know that their resilience will help to see them through these<br />

hard times.<br />

The <strong>occupation</strong> ended 75 years ago, and during that time the<br />

fairy folk <strong>of</strong> the island helped to keep the Humans safe. It is now<br />

time to do that again. I am so proud <strong>of</strong> you, my fairy folk; I know<br />

that you will not hesitate to pull out all the stops to help this<br />

island community, looking out for them, and doing what you can<br />

to keep the Humans safe in these difficult times.<br />
