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 />
