Cottingley Fairies are from Cottingley, & so is our guest Eileen.

More than 20 years after the famous photographs were taken, and over 60 years ago today, 8 year old Eileen encounters fairies in "The beck". Cottingley's ancient creek, flowing through the woods next to her childhood home; Cottingley Estates.

Many fairy encounters, including my own, are extremely brief in their way. It can be difficult to get people to talk about what they have seen. Even though they are willing to come forward. You might want to listen to Eileen twice. Especially towards the end.
