If you have just arrived here unnanounced, a brief introduction may be in order. Fairy, our beautiful, loved and very magical piggy inspired us to create a series of little stories illustrating the wonderful antics in her fun packed life. You will find an index to all her stories here. She gathered many friends along […]

  From left to right, Baby Betty, Young Bertie, Flo, Poppy, Posy (on Santa’s chair), and Pansy (looking for the reindeer!) all wish you much happiness, salad and joy this Christmas-time!

It has been a little over a year since Fairy left us. There hasn’t been a day we haven’t thought about her and remembered her funny little ways, the love and joy, and all the magic she brought – not only to us but also to everyone who knew her, far and wide. If you […]

Quick! The camera is here! You do it, Pixie, I’m too small! It seems I have been voted spokes-piggy so, if we may have a drum roll, please . . It gives me great pleasure . . . . . . to announce the arrival of a brand new family member! Freshly delivered yesterday may I […]

Fairy’s Memorial Stone has arrived – we are so happy with how it looks and it feels good to mark Fairy’s special spot in the garden. Here are the troublesome foursome, in their barrow, heading along to inspect things. Mmmm, smells good. Let’s check all round it first. I like this bit! We ALL like […]

Meanwhile – back at the beach.   SQUEAK – Sssssh, keep the noise down chaps and chapesses. We don’t want to rouse the ‘sleeping beauty’ from her slumbers just yet, do we?   Asleep? Moi? Oh no . . . I was just resting my eyes a bit.   Now where was I? Oh yes, […]

Following a particularly vigorous and rumbustious game of Pirates, peace and tranquility has returned to our holiday idyll. Although with a certain young lady in attendance, albeit briefly.   Oh yes, this all looks very pleasant. I particularly like Marigold’s new bikini. Very fetching indeed.   Enough of all this indolence. It’s high time to […]

SQUEEK – Oh this is the life. A holiday by the sea. Peace, perfect peace. Nothing to do but relax, lots of lovely sun and no one to boss us about. What could possibly disturb this idyllic tranquillity?   Yoo hooooo – Mousies, don’t panic, your beloved Fairy is here. This looks just the spot […]

Life goes on . . . and it is time for an update. Welcome to the new arrivals! Meet Poppy and Posy – a pair of proper pirate-pigs, into mischief and causing mayhem at every turn! And another new guinea pig joined us recently, Big Bear, in memory of our own beautiful Bear. She is […]

It is with the utmost sadness I am writing to tell you our dear, sweet, beautiful and very magical Fairy passed away this morning. She had a little seizure yesterday morning and fell into a coma soon after. Being Fairy she wasn’t in a hurry to leave her wonderful life but she finally went peacefully […]

We have had to add some new security software to block the several 100’s of spam user registrations we were receiving daily and subsequently this has caused problems for genuine people logging in to leave a comment. We are very sorry about this. We know how frustrating it can be when it becomes more trouble […]

Now then Pixie my old fruit. Kinda peace-able in these here parts of late. It’s been very quiet – too quiet some would say. Happen there’s a storm blowing in to town. Either that or a double decker bus. Between you, me and the salad bowl, I think there may be a very special delivery […]

It is with the saddest heart I have to write the words we all dread. We have lost our dear, sweet, cuddly Bear. How could it be just a few days ago when I was spring cleaning the Piggery accompanied by a noisy rumbly thundering noise – it was Bear, zooming back and forth, popcorning […]

Seeing as how I am an internationally renowned superstar and everything, special days are an ideal opportunity for my legions of Fairy Fans to demonstrate their devotion. Doubly appropriate actually as it is Valentine’s Day today! Whooopeeee, and here comes the Postie. Oh, my goodness gracious, a parcel, for me? How VERY unexpected!   Mmmmmmmm […]

We all know what today is. No, not Munchday or Chewsday. It’s Valentine’s Day!!! As well as my usual impressively huge heap of splendid cards from secret admirers from all around the world, pledging their troths or some such, plus enough magnificent red roses to stock several well appointed Florist Shops, these rather fetching block […]

Oh my whiskers! I am in PRINT! My sweet and pretty face is adorning a page or two of this marvellous guide aimed at young ‘uns, telling them what’s what with caring for us V.I.P’s! It is told by Parsley Pig (and written by Briony Isaacs) and features lots of celebratory piggies from all around […]

Hello there my loyal and lovely piggy pals. I am delighted you could join us. Today is a very special day in Fairyland. Not only is it New Year’s Eve, but tonight it is also Pixie and Bears’ first ever ‘proper’ hootennany type party – with fancy drinks and nibbles and discovating and guests and, […]

Hello there my people – Seasons Greetings from Fairyland on Christmas Day. We WERE going to have a very civilised present opening session this morning. Unfortunately, piggy excitement seems to have displaced patience and decorum! So instead of my usual beautifully written and wonderfully photographed story, we are happy to share some seasonal snaps starring […]

It would appear that The Big Day is nearly upon us – the time when all good little piggies get lots of extra cuddles and lots of love. Much like any other day then! However, there is a catch to this Big Day. Mummy says, that for no good reason I can see, we have […]

Greetings from a fabulously festive Fairyland my loyal and faithful followers. Just so you get an idea of what’s what, it’s almost Christmas. Last year Pixie and Bear were too new and giddy to fully appreciate what a special time this is. Unfortunately, Daddy must have whispered the ‘present’ word within their hearing and so […]

Can you just hold on a minute while I examine this marvellous card that arrived for moi today? Hehehe! Not only is it for ME, it’s full of ME too – and even a bit of Pixie and Bear as well! Look! There we are, full of festive-ness! Thank you very much indeed, Poppet and […]

I understand it is traditional to pay a visit to a certain Mr Santa Paws type person at this time of year. My invaluable advice would be to go and see him as soon as possible so you can give him all your special requests nice and early. Although why this request process differs from […]

Here I am again. Would you believe some nosey friends asked my mum recently ‘Where does Fairy sleep’? As if that is anyone’s business but my own. I will tell you anyway, but only if you are nosey enough to read on . . . First off the important bits – getting me fed! This […]

You might be forgiven for thinking we’d all gone away for good this summer when actually we were all just very busy indeed. What with lawn-mowing duties, salad growing and testing the outcomes duties, plus all sorts of untold summery type jobs, these last few wheeks have been somewhat hectic. But we are BACK! It’s […]

  Good day one and all. I have an extra special treat for you today – meet a certain set of neighbourly interlopers, who appeared on the scene yesterday just in time for yours truly to practice my skills with the camera type thingy seeing as mummy can’t control it one-handedly at present (she is […]

Top’o’the morning, friends and all! I expect you think I have been lazing around all summer, snoozing in a shady corner, or enjoying a spot of warm sun on my back. Well, you would be wrong! You have, I am sure, heard of the saying ‘green fingered’, meaning someone is a dab hand with plants […]

Hello there my lovely followers. What a truly excellent and all super duper type extended Birthday Number Four I am having! Lo and behold it seems there’s another special little parcel arrived for me somewhere. Now where on earth can it be? Oh yes – here it is. I knew that! I has been tastefully […]

Hello again! I’ve been extra good for almost a whole minute now because . . . IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! A time to celebrate, to rejoice, to let the bells ring loud throughout the land and, and to bring on the pressies! Errrr, that’s a nice snack, thank you Auntie Rachel and Auntie Alice, but it […]

Today is my Very Special day – I am FOUR! Time to don my tiara and get ready for my Birthday Party later on! Bear: Happy Birthday from me and Pixie, Fairy. Pixie: Yes, yes, enough of all that, looks like Daddy has something lined up over yonder. Come on, you two, we have exciting […]

Occasionally someone unexpected appears in The Piggery. Today was one of those days. Hello there. Who are ewe? Wool I never! A curly coated sheep type person has come to stay! She looks all innocent and young. Must be pure new wool. I bet she can spin a good yarn. Just call me Fairy-Curly-Locks. Errr […]

Meet my two very special friends, Mr Bee and Mr Ladybug! You can tell they are special bee-cause they are allowed to sit in my armchairs. Mr Bee is especially useful, he has a jolly comfy lap to sit on . . . he’s the bee-knees. And he does particularly good back scritches, useful when […]

Look! A lovely friend made me a jolly special Fairy type dinner bowl, just for ME! It’s very nice, although I have to say it is rather lacking in the snacks department. I am only saying, like. Nom, nom, nom! That’s much better! C’mon Pixie and bear, you can help me test my new bowl! […]

Oh hello! Has my new three piece been delivered? Good! Oh whooo! It’s lovely and pink, my favourite colour. Now then you two, I will spell this out for you – it says FAIRY, that means ME! This means this is the place where I will sit – not YOU, Bear, or YOU, Pixie, if you don’t […]

Hello there my lovelies. Mummy says it’s Easter – time for another of my splendiferous set-piece photo portrait type heirloom thingies. As it’s Easter Mummy wants us to be all good and colourful and very well behaved – no problems there then! I’ve recruited a clutch of fluffy chicks to make up the numbers. I […]

Hello my darlings. I wonder what unalloyed joys today has in store for me? Oh yes, I remember – I am off to The Palace for an audience with some major Royals. How jolly nice for them!   Good day, ma’am, your ladyship, Princess Anastasia Teacake. Nice place you have here. When do we eat? Oh and […]

Greetings my loyal and faithful followers. We have an extra special cause to celebrate today – apparently. Not only has mummy presented me with a rather splendid vase of smelly and totally inedible flowers (no – I don’t know why either), but we have a visit from a right royal official celebrity type mousie – […]

Hello there my adoring Fairy Fans. Today is an even more special day in the Piggery calendar than usual – It’s VALENTINES DAY! I wonder what tokens of everlasting love have winged their way from far flung corners of the globe to my cuddle cup? Judging by all the excitement the postman’s made a delivery!   Errr, […]

It’s me, Pixie, here. I am hijacking Fairy’s Blog to send a secret message to some very gorgeous boy piggy boars I know . . . Roses are Red and Violets are Blue But don’t send me those – they will never do. I’d rather have carrots and lots of things green – Send me those, dear, […]

What ever do we need an iron for? Are we expected to iron our own beds, or something, now? Oh well, will you look here . . . Aw! That’s is our beautiful and especially dear Auntie Marigold pictured on there! Now we will never forget her, Pixie and Bear. Not only was she a […]

Look! I have taken advantage of the recent abundant snowfall and built my very own snowpig! Yikes! he’s a scary fellow! Let me see . . . hum, very tasty! He smells funny, Pixie! Is he here to stay, do you know, Fairy? NO! He isn’t staying! he couldn’t if he tried. Line up quick, […]

Hay, Hay, HAY! Quick everybody, WAKE-UP – Santa has been! Come on you lazy piggy type tykes, time to get up . . . NOW! Oh-ho! A special delivery from Daddy-Postie. What’s that tasty looking piece of eminently munchable paper for, Pixie? It’s a Christmas card – and it’s for us, Bear! Oh yes, look. […]

We three pigs . . . . wish you all a Jolly Christmastide and a very Plumptious New Year! Lots of love and magic from Fairy, Pixie and Bear xxx (oh! And not forgetting our human slaves, Mildred and Ian xxx)  

With Christmas Day only a few short sleeps away – Fairy is in the Piggery, getting very excited.   Hmmmh, let me see now, who is this wonderfully beautiful, hand crafted creation from? I recognise the paw-writing. Oh goodness me – it’s from my favourite ever Princess, Auntie Alice. How clever of her – it’s […]

It is that time of year for our two new arrivals to be introduced to the noble tradition of posing for a Christmas family portrait. Unfortunately, not all Piggies are as co-operative and naturally adept as Fairy! Here’s Bear to explain . . . Oooooo-errrrr, don’t look now – I must be dreaming. Treats keep […]

Well hello there my loyal followers. As you will all know by now, I take great pride in my appearance and personal grooming. To maintain the impossibly high standards I have established I rely on only the very best and efficacious products. So it was with great excitement that I opened today’s post and out […]

There was great excitement and a good deal of traditional British Pomp & Ceremony at the Piggery today. It was our OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY. We were indeed fortunate to have secured the services of Princess Alice and Dame Rachel to perform the necessaries. Early this morning an exuberant audience gasped in wonder as our royal guests arrive […]

My Mummy says patience is a virtue, whatever that is supposed to mean. She has been wait, wait, waiting 15 very odd years for a super dooper bespoke Piggery. Hummmph – that seems like a very long wait indeed, poor Mummy. I suppose you would need to be very patient and very virtuous to wait […]

Are YOU looking for the perfect pampurring session for your piggy? Look no further. My recently opened Fairy’s Very Posh Piggery Pig Spa offers ALL the very latest in modern spa type beauty treatments – with light lunches and snacks included for VIP’s (Very Important Pigs). To avoid paw stomping disappointment, advance booking is highly advisable. […]

I have been told to show you the ropes, Pixie. Being a top model myself I know all about posing for the camera, you know. Here we go – SMILE FOR THE CAMERA! Say ‘grass’, Bear! Grass? GRASS? Did someone mention grass? Fairy, where have you hidden the grass? I think Fairy has eaten it […]

Oooooh, errrr, howdy Fairy Fans. Fairy has decided that the time has come for us budding young starlets to write and star in our very first story – so here goes. Ready Pixie? Ready! Ready Bear? Ready! Roll em! Well I could be wrong, but it looks to me as if it must be nearly […]

Now then my people, what have we here then? Oh yes, I remember! It is almost that time of year to perform spookily scary Halloween type things involving witches hats and pumpkins and, and, and all things orange. Right ho. This year I have two new souls to conjure with. Listen up you two – if you […]

Is this our new salad bowl, Daddy? It’s not exactly ‘ample’ is it? It came in a jolly big box though. Hummm, this could be quite useful. Actually, I have just formulated a brilliant and cunning plan, and this box will be ideal for its furtherance. Daddy, we need to discuss this in private, please. Can you […]

Hello there my adoring friends – I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, ‘Doesn’t Fairy look Soooooo Sweeeeeet in her cosy, white-dot-on-green-grass-look-a-like wrapper-upper blankie device’! And you are right! I DO look sweet, SO SWEET! ‘Cos it says so! Well anyway, it was nice for you to see me test driving my new […]

Crikey Bear. Is this . . . it can’t be?! It IS Pixie! We are IN Fairy’s very own legendary super car! You drive, Pixie, I will try to keep these pesky hitch-hiker type Mousies in order. Oh-ho! I knew it was too good to last! Looks like we have another passenger, Bear. I’d like to […]

Oi (from across the other side of the kitchen) is that OUR tea? It’s just that there appear to be ONIONS in that salad. Mehhhh! Phew! This looks much better! Delightfully onion free I note. Oh yes, mmmm, nom. This will do very nicely – compliments to the chef! And, for some of the more […]

Line up, line up . . . form an orderly queue! Oh, ok, let’s just get stuck in then! Nom, nom, nom . . . PIXIE, did you just BURP? No! I am far too polite! Do you like my hay hat . . .  followers of fashion would say it’s fascinating!! It’s seems very […]

What! Where are you two off to then? Shhh! Don’t tell Fairy, I’ll just check in here for her secret salad stash!   Hummmph – looks very cosy. Perhaps I’ll just sneak in for a crafty little snoozlet. Oh, there you are Fairy, at last. I was just going to keep it warm for you – […]

Jolly nice salad, chef! Thanks! Hum . . . it all looks quite a lot for little me!   Oh good, here’s some help in the shape of a Bear!   Hehe! And I knew a little Pixie would be willing to help out!   C’mon girls, tuck in!   Crumbs! Looks like Pixie doesn’t […]

Hello – is there room in there for little ‘un? WHAT? ME? PUSH? Oh okay then. what with my mighty strength and magic Fairy-Powers I will soon have this wagon rolling. Heave . . . oh just a grass-picking minute, they must be joking. But don’t worry, we already have a man-powered engine on paw. […]

C’mon you lot! Where are we going, Fairy? This way everyone. Look sharp! Fairy won’t notice me stopping for a wee smackerel! What ARE you doing, Bear? Who has been eating MY snacks? Oh-ho! I WAS spotted! I wasn’t! Good job there’s plenty of grass for everyone. It’s nice here, isn’t it Pixie . . […]

Everything and everyone is ready for off! I am ready too – let’s hit the road! What’s this? We seem to be crossing the border into Scotland. Are we nearly there yet? One hour later . . . Not only are we THERE we are on our way back now – with extra cargo! Hold […]

Whoooo! What’s all this then? And WHO is disturbing my ‘copter-nap? Oh, it’s Dougal . . . and those snow-bright-white-polar BEARS. Keep the noise down. Errr, don’t look now chaps, but Dougal has forgotten to put his white suit on.   Who’s this? Oh not to panic, it’s only daddy.   ‘Come on out, my […]

Our dear Marigold has had some health issues recently. We made the decision (the one we all dread) to let Marigold leave with some dignity on Friday. Her health deteriorated over Thursday night, but she seemed to enjoy her romp at 7am when she and Fairy went into the Piggy Palace where they both always […]

Right then my adoring fans, after weeks of eager anticipation it’s time to put aside all those brochures and for Mr Bear and me to set off on our jolly holidays. There’s just the small matter of the packing left to do.   So Mr Bear, I hope you have been following my carefully written […]

Greetings my loyal friends and followers. It’s here! The day you have all been looking forward to for simply ages, is HERE! I am THREE today! Yippee and everything. Yes, I am all big and grown up now. I can’t believe my eyes, a jolly big party has been laid on for little ol’ me, […]

Greetings my loyal subjects. Apparently there are lots of Street Parties and everything in the UK today –  are Roads and Motorways invited too? There is also a huge flotilla of boats type pageant extravaganza going on down the River Thames in London town. All this festivity must be to do with MY upcoming Birthday. […]

  Fairy is what is known as a Lethal White Guinea Pig. She basically has a genetic ‘fault’ due to certain breeding conditions. She is blind and deaf and like many LW’s she has problems with her teeth. Because of the way they are formed they require regular trimming as they do not meet and […]

Greetings my people – and welcome to a lovely sunny spot in the garden where I am sure you will all be eagerly awaiting my latest pontifications. So here goes. Many of my loyal followers will be familiar with the term ‘Spring Cleaning’. Although more usually applied to what ones Personal Piggy Palace goes through […]

Good morning my people. I had a dream last night that Summer is finally on it’s way. Time to prepare myself for the beach! I am all signed-up for a very special course Mr Bear is running on how to do something complicated with a folding chair. Sounds a bit barmy to me – but […]

Those of you that read my holiday investigation series a few days ago will know, after careful sizing up the facts and what not, I opted for the Lazy Days Holiday. Having a little snoop around the internet I found this advert for Training Your Deckchair. Get me booked in, Mum! And just in case […]

But Marigold, it MIGHT be MY Birthday. When they were handing out the Birthday-dates, maybe they gave you MY Birthday so that must mean that this Birthday that is yours is actually, more than likely in fact, mine. Why can’t it be MY Birthday? What’s that? I can share YOUR Birthday? Well, that’s just the […]

Due to other engagements Fairy and the team couldn’t make the Royal Wedding. They wish the happy couple happiness, health and lots of salad and want to remind you of The Wedding of the Year and the Grand Wedding Reception last year!

Well, what do we have here then? It appears to be my very own Piglet-sized Mum and Dad lolling about on the beach with the infamous Great, Great Auntie Mavis pawed with her bucket and spade. Looks like fun! It reminds me it’s time yours truly (that’s ME) should decide where to take my yearly […]

Hummmph – either someone has tidied away the view (Mummy), or someone is trying to sneak up on me. Funnily enough, I have spotted the odd couple of strange ears on the horizon lately. Marigold, have you spotted any stranger than usual going on type things in the ‘strange ears on the horizon’ department recently? […]

Hello, hello and hello thrice! My eyesight might not be all that spot on . . . but isn’t that a . . .   SQUIRREL getting into MY BED?   I am NOT telling tales, honestly.   You needn’t look at ME like that. And you can stop shaking your bushy tail at me, […]

Hello there my loyal and dedicated Fairy Followers. It won’t have egg-scaped your notice that Easter is upon us and my world famous egg-stravagent generosity towards Mousie type beasties knows no bounds. Here I am delivering  their soufflé doop-fflé Easter Eggs. How egg-citing for them!   Whoooooops – I just performed a wheelie! Quick scramble out of […]

The endlessly interesting thing about being surrounded by lots and lots of pesky mousie type babes is – they are very inquisitive critters who are always asking lots of deep and meaningful questions. Mostly concerning cheese it must be said, but occasionally something a little more profound. This morning I was visited by a very earnest young […]

Welcome to Fairy’s Marvellous Magical Marmalade Factory Hello my adoring fans and other people. I’m glad you could join me on this historic day in Fairy’s Fruitery. We have been selected by a very important group of Magical Marmalade big-wigs to be visited by an even more important celebrity type someone for possible inclusion in […]

Daddy is back home, safe and sound and all ready to administer to ME, dishing out his super-cuddles like there’s no tomorrow. AND he brought GIFTS for those deserving of them. That will be ME then . . . . a jolly red bag filled with a Fairy-treat, no doubt. That’s handy! Well, this is […]

My Daddy has left home! Don’t worry, it’s only for two days and while I am not one to complain, much, there are times when I just need a jolly good scritch. Remember these? My patented, shiny new invention was just the job when I was Daddy-less last time. They are just the right pudginess, […]

Squeak! Squeak! Errrrr – Auntie Fairy – it looks like Mummy has forgotten to dust the garden this morning – either that or she’s been baking and has run amok with the icing sugar! Don’t be silly little mousey types – it’s been snowing. Go on, off you go and explore. Wowee – this snow […]

Mummy has been telling me lately that I must be very careful not to get into a Jam – she didn’t say anything about Marmalade though! Ha! Fooled you! I’m not getting all sticky in here, but according to Mummy, it is Marmalade making time! These super-duper oranges are only available early in the year. […]

What’s this then? Hummmph – Looks like someone has written this card all upside-down. Muuuuuuummmy – come quick – can you read upside-down writing???? Oooooooh – this looks like a super hooper dooper Auntie Serena Calender. What a wonderful way to count the days until the Piggolympics Event of The Year  (officially known as the […]

Being a connoisseur of cuddles and ear rubs I wish to present how you too can get the best out of your human. First off, get yourself all comfy and cosy and flopped. In this example I make sure my daddy’s left paw is suitably placed to make a perfect resting place for my front […]

See more of Taj Mahal and his lovely family! Guinea Pig Magazine – out today!

Our beautiful Princess, Mariella, passed away unexpectedly yesterday.   My best friend . . . And bravest passenger . . . My ‘copter-snitcher . . . but I didn’t mind! The best Birthday guest ever! And always there to test the latest ‘topper’ . . . Our Princess . . . September 2009 – January […]

Here’s my 2011 Christmas Quiz. Don’t go expecting any prizes but I WILL KNOW if you manage to finish it and then I will send some invisible Fairy-Magic-Wishes your way! If you need a Piggy-Sized image, then nip over to Flickr!

Oh come all ye faithful (followers)! Joy to the world (of mice) – Fairy is come amongst you! It’s time for my pre-Christmas address to the Fairy type nation. Just a minute! Who are YOU then? Mr Robin? Hum . . . birds don’t eat salad do they? No? Oh well, you can stay seeing […]

Right everyone, get snuggled in. Mummy says it’s not too long to go now before Santa will be nipping down our chimney (why he can’t use the door like everyone else is beyond me!), so we had better start to be all good and everything. That’s it Mariella, get the sherry and mince pie all […]

I would like to introduce Fairy’s Blog with an inaugural photo tribute. A Fairy was born . . . It was obvious Fairy was going to be exceedingly fond of food . . . She likes her salads to be tidy! Lead on, Fairy! A family outing . . . Room for a little one! Fairy’s new […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Her mum, Brillo, was a ‘rescue piggy’, taken from an unpleasant situation, along with her many assorted brothers, sisters and other relations. Here’s her Dad, Ernie! Fairy was a very small piggy. As well as being blind and deaf she also had many problems with her teeth. Her […]

Fairy’s friend, Montmorency Mouse, has been in an accident. The ever thoughtful Fairy pays him a visit. Delivering a big bunch of hay which, she is sure, will help Monty to get better. She also made a Get Well card for him! See Fairy passing the card to Monty in this short film. A few […]

Fairy’s close friend, Araminta, is up from London for a few days. The girls love to get together for a natter now and then. I like your red spotty top, Minty. Muum! Can I get something red and spotty please? Hum . . . Minty is so pretty, I wonder if she has a boyfriend […]

In September Fairy had some friends over to join her for an pignic. Here she is with her friend Ginny enjoying some salad snacks. Ginny is 6 years old and is just about the cuddliest piggy I have ever cuddled! And with Baby-Maybe. She lives with Ginny. She was one of the beautiful guinea pigs […]

This is nice, Minty. Our favourite tunes on the radio and some good books to share! This one has some handy hints about the latest fashions! What do you mean, ‘You don’t have anywhere to wear your nice things? Don’t you have a mousefriend? Hum, let me see, I’ll just have a look in my […]

Fairy, doing what she does best . . . . . . eating and posing! And . . . . washing her nose. And exploring! And checking. And eating some more!

Following on from the Girls’ Night In now, where Fairy promised to introduce Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. So THIS is where Fairy took them on their Blind Date!

After their date at the Cinema, Minty and Monty got together again – on St Valentine’s Day! Picture the scene – a romantic dinner for two at a posh restaurant, the lights are low, the music is playing softly. What could possibly go wrong? Err! Don’t mind me, you two. Carry on, you won’t even […]

Fairy invited Minty and Monty to stay over following their Romantic Dinner Date on St Valentine’s Day. Here they are on Sunday morning, relaxing on their bean bags, discussing the date, the food and, no doubt, their next date! You looked to be enjoying yourself last night, Minty. Maybe we can go on another date […]

Fairy’s many fans were thrilled to attend the awards ceremony following her success at the Piggy Of The Year Show! She was awarded the coveted Silver Salad Bowl and made a rousing speech afterwards! The event hit the headlines in the newspaper! Watch Fairy’s video of her winning round on YouTube.

Minty and Monty join Fairy in the kitchen to do some baking. Hello there! We are going to bake some cakes today. Haha! I like those chefs hats – just the ticket! Oops! You don’t want that in there, Minty, let me take care of it. You are doing a grand job! Hum, that flour […]

We lost our dear Matilda earlier this year. Anyone who has lost a much loved pet will know the sadness and emotions you feel. It is very hard and you cry and want them back, and you try to be happy for their lovely life they had with you. A lovely friend’s husband painted this […]

The Front Page speaks for itself! Full report to follow soon.

Araminta, Montmorency Mouse, Fairy, with Mr Bear at the helm, kept as cool as cucumbers as their treasure was swept overboard by a giant wave. It’s a lovely day for a boat trip, you are very kind to invite us, Mr Bear. This is the first time Araminta and Montmorency have been on a boat. […]

As we all know, Guinea Pigs eat a lot of hay. Indeed, it should be available at all times so they can graze throughout the day. Fairy has a particular way of enjoying her hay. As well as eating it she likes to burrow into it, enjoying the sensation of the hay tickling her back! […]

The Rt Hon Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse were delighted to be introduced to Araminta’s latest beau Montmorency Mouse, at a recent ‘at home’ held in their tasteful drawing room at the sumptuous and well appointed Plantagenet House, in London. Primrose looked splendid in her up to the minute fashionable gingham check pinafore dress, toning red […]

Ernie, Fairy’s Dad, visited a few weeks ago. He brought a beautiful gift for Fairy, a Special Salad Plate created by Ernie’s mum and dad especially for Fairy! Fairy couldn’t wait to test it out. This is the handsome Ernie. And Fairy examining her new plate! Here it is, loaded up with fresh salad! Is […]

Fairy published her very own magazine recently. Hello! Piggy is packed with all the latest celebrity mouse gossip as well as hints and tips, interviews and product tests! Many of the posts from Fairy’s Blog can be found among its pages as well as plenty of new ‘goings on’. Enjoy it! It is available as […]

Fairy likes to keep herself ‘whiter than white’ and takes her beauty routine very seriously. She enjoys a bath every week or so, has her nails carefully trimmed every 2 weeks, gets weighed regularly, and generally enjoys a healthy lifestyle, with plenty of exercise, fresh salad and vegetables, top quality hay, and daily cuddles! Here’s […]

The guest beds are ready! Fairy has two very special friends coming to stay for a sleepover tonight. Can you guess who they might be? She has accepted the task of acting as their chaperone. What a responsibility! After a tasty supper and a romp round the garden to try and tire out her little […]

The girls got some new beds and huts recently. A perfect sunny day to sit out and enjoy their comfiness! Look at meeeeee! Peep-oh Mariella! Fairy doesn’t mind sharing.

‘It is a dream come true,’ exclaimed a breathless Araminta Mouse as she left The Eatalotto Ice Cream Parlour, arm in arm with her beau, Montmorency Mouse. ‘Oh, I was simply amazed when I spotted the huge sparkly diamond ring in the ice cream sundae! I thought I was going to faint!’ Hello everyone! I […]

Pigidges, in London’s Hayfur, was the venue chosen by Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse for a recent sumptuous dinner to celebrate the engagement of their daughter Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. Celebrated Chef Mark De’Salad, along with Sous-chef Loader Von Trap, created a special Commemorative Menu for the honoured guests. Perusing the very posh a la carte […]

Now that Minty and Monty are engaged they are eagerly looking for a mouse house to start their married life in. Fairy has located a helpful Estate Agent to show them some suitable – or should that be UNsuitable – homes! Hello! It looks as though there are plenty of homes for sale! I don’t […]

Although Minty and Monty have a comprehensive Wedding Gift List, they have anjoyed going on a spending spree recently. Selecting home furnishings has been a thoroughly exciting experience for the trio! Nice cooker, Minty! Snazzy carpet, it will be just right. A lovely bed! A little door mat to wipe my paws on! Some nifty […]

Now then you two, I’m glad you could come over today – we are going to bake a cake. I like your pinny, Minty, just the job! Let’s get on then, it will be a certain person’s Birthday soon, so you need to know what to do. This IS going to be fun! Now, where […]

A glorious Spring day and Fairy and her pals are off on a picnic! C’mon you lot, it’s time to get out! Well, it seems Pandora and Peregrine, Minty’s Brother, are getting along fine and dandy. It’s nice here, isn’t it? Lovely place to enjoy a spot of sunbathing. What a marvellous hat, Monty! I […]

Like most guineas Fairy likes to feel the warm sun on her fur! Front AND back! It’s lovely! It is nice to sit out with your friends too. Even if you can’t go out, it is good to know the sun is shining! It warms your whiskers . . . . . . and makes […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Brillo, her mum, was among five guinea pigs we rescued from an intolerable situation. She gave birth to 3 babies, Fairy, Flash and Jiff, a little boy piggy. It didn’t take long to realise Fairy was blind and a few days after that it was apparent she had […]

It has been a very long winter. Five months of what seemed like perpetual cold, wet and windy weather. According to the experts however, this weekend promises to be the warmest of the year so far! A mini heat wave no less! Good! The gang (piggy and people alike) can’t wait to get back to […]

Fairy is usually a very clean piggy but occasionally she gets ‘kebab toes’. Grubby little paws from paddling though ‘unmentionables’. If she washes herself with these ‘gloves’ she resembles a tiger with her pig-made stripes. Very un-Fairy-like! It isn’t quite as pleasant cuddling a piggy with grubby toes and stripy fur – especially if she […]

Fairy took Minty to choose her wedding dress the other day. Plans are well under way for ‘The Wedding Of The Year’. The invitations will be in the post any day – look out for yours! Here’s Fairy to take us through the proceedings. Morning, Mr Bear. It is so kind of you to offer […]

Although, like most guinea pigs, Fairy’s favourite pastime is eating she is also very aware of the importance of exercise. And what could be better than combining the two! Fairy’s little hay tin contains some chopped ‘special blend’ hay. Each ‘Push Up’ results in a small treat! The perfect combination! What a great game!

Christmas was a very special time for Fairy. Not only was it her first Christmas ever, it was also a time of giving of gifts and receiving surprise presents in return! The highlight of her day was Christmas Dinner. Mr Bear joined Fairy for a not quite traditional meal. Oh yummy! Look at my Christmas […]

Fairy is very good at posing for the camera. She is a consummate professional  – keeping still, applying just the right expression to suit the scene, she could not be more cooperative. She seems to know exactly what is expected of her and provides it willingly! Seeing her posing for the camera and taking into […]

Fairy really appreciates how lucky she is to have a happy, loving home here with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella. She enjoys top quality Guinea Pig food, has a beautiful bedroom, gym, playroom and garden. She has a personal specialist healthcare advisor and dentist. She has regular baths, cuddles, ear rubs and chin tickles. Her […]

Although May 1st was beautifully warm and sunny, today it is decidedly chilly here in our part of the UK. Fairy is safely snuggled up in her favourite Cuddle Cup enjoying a relaxing afternoon nap in the warm kitchen. I have just returned from a brisk walk down the lane for ‘grass collecting’ purposes – […]

Mariella joined us in October 2009. A teeny squiff of baby guinea pig, with the biggest round eyes and squidgiest nose you ever did see! Mariella is stunningly beautiful, wearing her gorgeous black, tan and white fur like some glamour model! She has a bold character to match! Mariella marched straight in through the door, […]

Fairy is weighed regularly to ensure she is maintaining a healthy weight and not loosing any of those precious grams. With any guinea pig weight loss is a cause for worry, but with Fairy being very small at 680g, around half the size of a standard piggy, I would be doubly concerned – especially knowing […]

Fairy has always enjoyed being cuddled and enjoys many hours asleep nestling in her Daddy’s hands! Being blind and deaf has its compensations – there’s nothing to distract you. So once you are in a warm, safe and comfortable snuggle, it is easy to nod off. Before last Christmas, Fairy proclaimed Pasquale Bear as officially […]

Another Mouse Tale today. You can follow this ongoing story starring Fairy and her friends, Minty and Monty, as well as other magical characters, by going to the Index page and selecting the Blog Posts from the Mouse Tales Category list. The Tales are also to be found in HELLO! Fairy magazine and the Special […]

I love Birthdays! Other peoples that is, not my own and especially NOT those BIG ones! I have one of ‘those’ tomorrow. Fairy has a really big, special Birthday coming up. Her Birthday is on June 11th, she will be one. Fairy has decided she doesn’t want any presents and any cash she receives is […]

Big Birthdays are not so bad after all! I am having a really wonderful day – on this my BIG Birthday! Lots of beautiful cards, surprise presents and yummy scrummy things to eat. I have received lots of Happy Birthday wishes from people I have never met but who I am proud to call friends. […]

Fairy enjoys very deep, satisfying sleeps! Her ears can be seen twitching, her toes jigging and she makes tiny little squeak noises – I always hope she is having a nice dream and not a nightmare. Errr, where am I then? It feels as though I am on another planet. The ground is all hard […]

Have you looked at the hedge in your garden recently and thought how characterless and unexciting it looks? A monotonous stretch of repetitious green – if you are lucky! Many garden hedges are threadbare and unkempt. Regular. Conventional. A barrier between your garden and your neighbour. Boring, dull, lifeless! Functional, unexceptional, middling and ‘hedge-like! What […]

Fairy accompanied Minty and Monty to the local soft furnishings store, ‘Sew Mouse’, yesterday. With her impeccable taste Minty is keen to to find the finest linens and fabrics to be made into curtains and such like for their stylish new home. Here we are then! An abundance of gorgeous fabrics. Looks like we could […]

Sunny day. Guineas on the lawn. And this is what they get up to! Hello, Marigold, are you coming with me? I am going exploring. C’mon you two, keep up! Humph – this is a bit of a dead end! Shhhh, I am going to sneak over here now . . . . . . […]

*Fairy shouting* Errr, ‘scuse me . . . I’m over here! Everything in the garden is so big! Even with Marigold and Mariella’s help, I will not be able to eat this huge carrot. And just look at Big Wilma! Did you ever see such a big guinea pig? I am down here now. Squirrel […]

Hello! I am over here! In amongst the daisies – they are white, just like me, and almost as pretty! They smell lovely but I know they are not edible! They are very comfy to sit on. I think I may just take a nap.

Minty and Monty are getting married! What promises to be THE wedding of the year will take place on Friday, 28th of May. After a long engagement, in mouse terms, of almost 3 months, the couple have decided to tie the knot! Fairy has been a great help planning and organising the wedding as well […]

The wedding preparations are well under way. Fairy has done an outstanding job as ‘event organizer’, planning everything with meticulous attention down to the last detail. We expect the big day to go without a hitch! This morning Fairy went for a wander round the garden in search of suitable flowers. Wow! Look at these […]

Welcome to the wedding of Fairy’s close friend, the beautiful international model Araminta Mouse, to the esteemed Mouse about town Montmorency Mouse. It seems like yesterday that Fairy played matchmaker, accompanying the pair on their very first date, going along to make sure Minty didn’t forget the chocolates on Valentine’s Day,  and being there at […]

It has been an exciting morning for everyone seeing the lovely Araminta and Montmorency tie the knot! Now we join the guests as they assemble in Fairy’s garden for the wedding reception this afternoon. Here they are, tucking into their buffet, toasting the happy couple, and discussing the bride’s mother’s hat! And here’s Fairy to […]

This is especially for you, AliMouse. When Fairy was very small she soon found the comfiest places to snooze. One of those was in the protective arms of Pasquale, the bear. She had no idea how tiny she appeared – and how sweet! Here she is at about 10 weeks of age. You can imagine […]

As you know, I am accompanying Minty and Monty on their honeymoon. I am taking the important role of Chief Photographer and Reporter. ! I knew I would come in useful. Here are the happy couple! Minty and Monty have packed their bag and are off on the holiday of a lifetime! Smile, say ‘cheese’! […]

We have had such a lovely honeymoon. I have kept an eye on the newly weds and we have gone everywhere together. I will be sending more pics soon so everyone can see what we’ve been up to. However, it seems we are returning home a bit early though, ready for my Big Birthday on […]

As I have some film left in the camera, due to having to dash back unexpectedly from ‘our’ honeymoon, I have decided to take you on a special guided tour round a bit of my garden. First stop is our Clubhouse. It is fitted out with a gigantic fridge, containing the worlds largest Salad Crisper […]

Fairy is ONE today! And look who are here! The love struck mice have returned from their Honeymoon – and just in time. It looks as though Fairy has a big pile of cards and presents, Minty! I can’t wait to see her face when she knows we have come home from our honeymoon especially […]

Thank you everyone for all your lovely Birthday Wishes, cards, gifts and salad – especially salad! I had a wonderful Birthday and love being ONE. Why can’t it be a brilliant birthday day every day? I didn’t have a traditional party as such with balloons and streamers and jelly being as I was a little […]

The newly weds have been spending time relaxing in their brand new rented apartment in London. It is Japanese style! Meanwhile Peregrine and Pandora are busy decorating Minty and Monty’s new home, with a little help from Fairy of course. Come along Peregrine, you will have to brush-up your technique – you’ve missed a bit! […]

As you know, I am a hay fever sufferer. It isn’t very nice when your dose gets all blocked up or you start sneezing everywhere. I am only allowed to go in the garden in the evening at present, when the pollen is a little less troublesome. Here I am examining the flowers last night. […]

I received lots of lovely gifts for my Birthday the other day but one in particular was most welcome: Grow-it-yourself Grass! Our good friends at Gorgeous Guineas sent me a bag of magical seed things which Daddy planted for me. We watered them every day and now look! Lots of yummy, tall, extra fresh tasting […]

It may not have escaped the more astute followers of my Blog that Marigold and Mariella, my half sisters, are rather more ‘traditionally built’ than my svelte, lithe self. This is due the the vast quantities of salad they consume. As well as their regular meals – breakfast, mid morning snacks, late morning snacks, lunch, […]

It is a lovely warm Sunday afternoon and the sun is shining. There is a light cooling breeze to gently ruffle my silky fur as I sit here snacking on my Grow-It-Yourself-Grass. Life is truly wonderful! Now, where was I? Oh yes – nom, nom, nom . . . Humm, now, where are those two […]

G’day my people! I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important. I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one! Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see […]

Dear The Manager, The Grow-It-Yourself-Grass Company, It is Fairy here again. I recently had the privilege of sampling a tray of your delicious grass, and very good it was too. However, before I could even enjoy it for a second time, my so called loving sisters managed to sneak in and gobble up every last […]

C’mon you two, we’re moving lawns! Look, the grass is greener over yonder! Pack your cuddle cups and snoozing bags, and bring plenty of nourishing snacks for the journey. We’d better get topped up, Marigold, Fairy usually knows what she is munching about . . . . nom, nom, nom. I don’t know why we […]

Hello my people. I am often asked by someone, what is the ideal number of piggy’s in a household? Well, we were given a present of this super-dooper, attractive sign thing by my piggy-daddy, Ernie, the other day. And, by jingo, it’s just the job for helping me to answer that very important question. Take […]

Righty ho. This looks like the perfect spot to show off my horticultural expertise. Just need to get all my equipment spread out. These little plastic pots are just the ticket! Now then, you two can be my Posse. Pay close attention, look photogenic and don’t forget to make me look good. Don’t say too […]

That grass growing experiment we did recently went very well. The only problem being that there wasn’t quite enough to grow round, so to speak. Actually, there might well have been if Mariella had been put on a strict diet. I know, I was the only one who thought she should be on one! Anyway, […]

Now then, settle down you two. You’ve been pacing about like a cat on a hot . . . oops, sorry about the indelicate feline reference there. No offence! Everything comes to those who wait – including the Postman. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong* Oh-ho. Is that the doorbell? That’ll be him […]

I didn’t know the new babies would be such hard work, Monty. I am just about at my tails end trying to cope with everything. I haven’t slept in nights! They don’t give me a moment’s peace – look at them! It’s bedtime now and they simply won’t settle down and go to sleep! Don’t […]

Everyone knows what a busy little bee I am, but my absolute favourite job has to be sending out parcels to my friends! Wrapping up a pressie in my own special logo-ed tissue paper, adding a personalised card and not forgetting a liberal sprinkle of special Fairy Magic and then imagining the parcel speeding off […]

Nanny Fairy here people, my good works and kindnesses to bestow. Minty and Monty wanted a quiet day out together today, probably to get me a big prize or plan a huge surprise party for me or something of that me-centred nature. I, of course, volunteered to look after all the baby mices for them. […]

I know what you are thinking – how could Fairy possibly leave all that spare lovely bright shiny sweet corn leaf treasure behind? Well – she didn’t! Just after the last photo was taken . . . Mummy – can you come quickly? Oh, and bring lots of carrier bags with you please! A few […]

Being a faithful Fairy follower, you will already know that I am well known for being exceptionally fond of my food. I find that when one isn’t actively engaged in the process of eating then reading all about it is the very next best thing. These quaint old salad recipes are making my mouth water. […]

Marigold: Mum said ‘no tea’ and to sit still and behave! Look, she’s got that black box with the funny lens thing again! Marigold: Look over there though, there’s that nice sweetcorn mine . . . . Fairy: Marigold, behave and look at the camera thingy. Mariella: Yes, it looks yummy. I am partial to […]

. . . earlier today in the Thatched Cottage Garden . . . What’s that orange thing over there, Petunia? I don’t know, Marmaduke. Maybe it has been sent here by a vastly superior intelligence from a galaxy far, far away. Either that or the local supermarket’s delivery service has got the order wrong again! […]

Recently, Fairy took her big sisters for a spin on her Magic Carrotty-Comfort-Cushion, which also doubles as a disguised spaceship! Fairy: C’mon everyone, all aboard! Fasten your seat-belts, if they will reach! We’ll have to hurry, it looks like rain. Hold on tight . . . here we go . . . . *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnooou* make […]

We find our pals busily sitting around happily doing nothing – but all is not as it seems.  There is a simmering mood of discontent coming inexorably to the boil, emanating from the hairy occupant of the cheese chair. Hummph, Hummmph and thrice Hummmmph! What ails you sweet Fairy? You don’t appear to be your […]

What ho! I may be able to fly a carrot through the wide blue skies and beyond – but who would have thought that a real life wooden pig might fly too? Just give me two ticks while I get cleared for take off and locate the accelerator pedal thingy, and check the horn – […]

Right Ho my hearties – it’s time to pose for our annual official portrait picture photo thingy. Try to look stately and imposing Marigold. Just like me. Everyone say “Fairy”! Mummy wanted us to squeeze together a bit. Fufff. Trust Mariella to take things too far. And I do not need a comb-over type toupee […]

Now then my people – let’s see what the weather is going to be like today. If it’s all little fluffy white clouds and gentle cooling breezes, I might initiate the inaugural flight of my brand new, top of the range, super splendiferous Fairycopter. And not a pesky baby mousey in sight! Well, I can’t […]

What do we have here then? Looks like a fan has sent me another present – all the way from Germany! It’s a goodly sized box. I wonder what it could be! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be exciting. I hope it’s salad. I have it on very good authority that German salad is […]

I was just having a quiet nose around the house and came across this interesting object. Now what ever can it be? Now then, I might just have a little look into that interesting top bit. Ah, just as I suspected – methinks it looks like a perfect Mariella-free snuggling zone. Onwards and upwards! Can […]

Hummph! Has my super sized, snuggly SMUGG boot shrunk? I can’t seem to get in to it properly. Just a minute, there are some kind of furry obstruction type things getting in my way. Fearless Fairy will have to investigate – gulp! Oh I might have known – a pair of Mousies! What on earth […]

It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about. Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it? What does it say on this here […]

Hello loyal friends and dedicated Fairy followers. As if life isn’t scary enough for a sensitive little piggy such as me, my mousey family mentioned that something called Halloween was happening and Halloween meant everything would be ghostly and witchy and scary and pumpkiny and . . . actually, I am not sure where pumpkins […]

My dearly beloved people. You have all been gathered here today, at my great personal inconvenience I might add, to hear the latest of my very important proclamations delivered on my specially commissioned Soapbox. An Announcement of such import that even little ol’ me is getting very excited! Tee hee. Humph, you two have finally […]

As the nights draw in and Fairy’s thoughts turn to ensuring maximum night time comfort and cosiness, The Fairy Palace has taken delivery of a brand new sleep device, guaranteed to provide suitable softiness and snoozability. Here we find our pint sized hero about to embark on its very first test drive – with a […]

Fairy is well known the world over for her generosity and philanthropic good works. This year she has truly excelled herself! Not only does she feature on the 2011 Guinea Lynx Calendar, a rather fetching portrait as Miss April, enhanced by having the beautiful Marigold on the cover, she is also immensely proud to spearhead […]

This is the life, what ho and all that. I am not sure why Daddy needs BOTH his paws to support me though, I’m not THAT big . . . am I? Did I hear him say his arms are aching, goodness me, whatever next? Humph! Back in my cuddle cup now – mind you, […]

Snow, snow and more snow! I expect you thought that is what you would find here today. Well, you were wrong! Nasty cold wet stuff that sticks to my whiskers – brrrr! So instead I am bringing you a little bit of summer. Sit down on a nice comfy chair, put your paws up and […]

SANTA! Here I am, all dressed up and ready for Christmas in my tastefully designed seasonal snuglage ensemble. Speech? SPEECH? Did I hear you say? Oh ok then – you asked for it! (Here I go then, in my best posh regal type accent). Dear readers, followers, fans and what have yous, welcome. Christmas is, […]

Ho, Ho and thrice Ho! Fairy here, your internationally renowned spirit of Christmas. Well, just to further illustrate what a selfless little bundle of philanthropic joy I am, I’m throwing a Festive Tea Party for Minty and Monty and the Pesky Mousie Babes so they can all show their appreciation for me and all my […]

Christmas is all over but don’t worry, it’s the New Year now! I hope it brings you health and happiness, cuddles and kisses, salads galore and all good things like that! It is also a time to make something called ‘resolutions’. When you are a small piggy like me, with so much to think about, […]

Oh! You’ve caught me in the act! I am just undoing another present! It must be for me, what with pink packaging and what-not. It tastes a bit funny. That’s odd! It isn’t an edible gift! Well, let’s be having a sniff under here . . . pfhoof, it smells SHINY! It’s a HAT! Well, […]

Peeep! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Look out everyone! Here I come! Brumm-brumm . . . brumm-brumm! Watch out – make way! Am I doing ok, Mum? I like driving – I don’t even think I need driving lessons! It might be a different matter when I get those two back seat drivers in with me though. I […]

I would like to introduce Fairy’s Blog with an inaugural photo tribute. A Fairy was born . . . It was obvious Fairy was going to be exceedingly fond of food . . . She likes her salads to be tidy! Lead on, Fairy! A family outing . . . Room for a little one! Fairy’s new […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Her mum, Brillo, was a ‘rescue piggy’, taken from an unpleasant situation, along with her many assorted brothers, sisters and other relations. Here’s her Dad, Ernie! Fairy was a very small piggy. As well as being blind and deaf she also had many problems with her teeth. Her […]

Fairy’s friend, Montmorency Mouse, has been in an accident. The ever thoughtful Fairy pays him a visit. Delivering a big bunch of hay which, she is sure, will help Monty to get better. She also made a Get Well card for him! See Fairy passing the card to Monty in this short film. A few […]

Fairy’s close friend, Araminta, is up from London for a few days. The girls love to get together for a natter now and then. I like your red spotty top, Minty. Muum! Can I get something red and spotty please? Hum . . . Minty is so pretty, I wonder if she has a boyfriend […]

In September Fairy had some friends over to join her for an pignic. Here she is with her friend Ginny enjoying some salad snacks. Ginny is 6 years old and is just about the cuddliest piggy I have ever cuddled! And with Baby-Maybe. She lives with Ginny. She was one of the beautiful guinea pigs […]

This is nice, Minty. Our favourite tunes on the radio and some good books to share! This one has some handy hints about the latest fashions! What do you mean, ‘You don’t have anywhere to wear your nice things? Don’t you have a mousefriend? Hum, let me see, I’ll just have a look in my […]

Fairy, doing what she does best . . . . . . eating and posing! And . . . . washing her nose. And exploring! And checking. And eating some more!

Following on from the Girls’ Night In now, where Fairy promised to introduce Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. So THIS is where Fairy took them on their Blind Date!

After their date at the Cinema, Minty and Monty got together again – on St Valentine’s Day! Picture the scene – a romantic dinner for two at a posh restaurant, the lights are low, the music is playing softly. What could possibly go wrong? Err! Don’t mind me, you two. Carry on, you won’t even […]

Fairy invited Minty and Monty to stay over following their Romantic Dinner Date on St Valentine’s Day. Here they are on Sunday morning, relaxing on their bean bags, discussing the date, the food and, no doubt, their next date! You looked to be enjoying yourself last night, Minty. Maybe we can go on another date […]

Fairy’s many fans were thrilled to attend the awards ceremony following her success at the Piggy Of The Year Show! She was awarded the coveted Silver Salad Bowl and made a rousing speech afterwards! The event hit the headlines in the newspaper! Watch Fairy’s video of her winning round on YouTube.

Minty and Monty join Fairy in the kitchen to do some baking. Hello there! We are going to bake some cakes today. Haha! I like those chefs hats – just the ticket! Oops! You don’t want that in there, Minty, let me take care of it. You are doing a grand job! Hum, that flour […]

We lost our dear Matilda earlier this year. Anyone who has lost a much loved pet will know the sadness and emotions you feel. It is very hard and you cry and want them back, and you try to be happy for their lovely life they had with you. A lovely friend’s husband painted this […]

The Front Page speaks for itself! Full report to follow soon.

Araminta, Montmorency Mouse, Fairy, with Mr Bear at the helm, kept as cool as cucumbers as their treasure was swept overboard by a giant wave. It’s a lovely day for a boat trip, you are very kind to invite us, Mr Bear. This is the first time Araminta and Montmorency have been on a boat. […]

As we all know, Guinea Pigs eat a lot of hay. Indeed, it should be available at all times so they can graze throughout the day. Fairy has a particular way of enjoying her hay. As well as eating it she likes to burrow into it, enjoying the sensation of the hay tickling her back! […]

The Rt Hon Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse were delighted to be introduced to Araminta’s latest beau Montmorency Mouse, at a recent ‘at home’ held in their tasteful drawing room at the sumptuous and well appointed Plantagenet House, in London. Primrose looked splendid in her up to the minute fashionable gingham check pinafore dress, toning red […]

Ernie, Fairy’s Dad, visited a few weeks ago. He brought a beautiful gift for Fairy, a Special Salad Plate created by Ernie’s mum and dad especially for Fairy! Fairy couldn’t wait to test it out. This is the handsome Ernie. And Fairy examining her new plate! Here it is, loaded up with fresh salad! Is […]

Fairy published her very own magazine recently. Hello! Piggy is packed with all the latest celebrity mouse gossip as well as hints and tips, interviews and product tests! Many of the posts from Fairy’s Blog can be found among its pages as well as plenty of new ‘goings on’. Enjoy it! It is available as […]

Fairy likes to keep herself ‘whiter than white’ and takes her beauty routine very seriously. She enjoys a bath every week or so, has her nails carefully trimmed every 2 weeks, gets weighed regularly, and generally enjoys a healthy lifestyle, with plenty of exercise, fresh salad and vegetables, top quality hay, and daily cuddles! Here’s […]

The guest beds are ready! Fairy has two very special friends coming to stay for a sleepover tonight. Can you guess who they might be? She has accepted the task of acting as their chaperone. What a responsibility! After a tasty supper and a romp round the garden to try and tire out her little […]

The girls got some new beds and huts recently. A perfect sunny day to sit out and enjoy their comfiness! Look at meeeeee! Peep-oh Mariella! Fairy doesn’t mind sharing.

‘It is a dream come true,’ exclaimed a breathless Araminta Mouse as she left The Eatalotto Ice Cream Parlour, arm in arm with her beau, Montmorency Mouse. ‘Oh, I was simply amazed when I spotted the huge sparkly diamond ring in the ice cream sundae! I thought I was going to faint!’ Hello everyone! I […]

Pigidges, in London’s Hayfur, was the venue chosen by Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse for a recent sumptuous dinner to celebrate the engagement of their daughter Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. Celebrated Chef Mark De’Salad, along with Sous-chef Loader Von Trap, created a special Commemorative Menu for the honoured guests. Perusing the very posh a la carte […]

Now that Minty and Monty are engaged they are eagerly looking for a mouse house to start their married life in. Fairy has located a helpful Estate Agent to show them some suitable – or should that be UNsuitable – homes! Hello! It looks as though there are plenty of homes for sale! I don’t […]

Although Minty and Monty have a comprehensive Wedding Gift List, they have anjoyed going on a spending spree recently. Selecting home furnishings has been a thoroughly exciting experience for the trio! Nice cooker, Minty! Snazzy carpet, it will be just right. A lovely bed! A little door mat to wipe my paws on! Some nifty […]

Now then you two, I’m glad you could come over today – we are going to bake a cake. I like your pinny, Minty, just the job! Let’s get on then, it will be a certain person’s Birthday soon, so you need to know what to do. This IS going to be fun! Now, where […]

A glorious Spring day and Fairy and her pals are off on a picnic! C’mon you lot, it’s time to get out! Well, it seems Pandora and Peregrine, Minty’s Brother, are getting along fine and dandy. It’s nice here, isn’t it? Lovely place to enjoy a spot of sunbathing. What a marvellous hat, Monty! I […]

Like most guineas Fairy likes to feel the warm sun on her fur! Front AND back! It’s lovely! It is nice to sit out with your friends too. Even if you can’t go out, it is good to know the sun is shining! It warms your whiskers . . . . . . and makes […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Brillo, her mum, was among five guinea pigs we rescued from an intolerable situation. She gave birth to 3 babies, Fairy, Flash and Jiff, a little boy piggy. It didn’t take long to realise Fairy was blind and a few days after that it was apparent she had […]

It has been a very long winter. Five months of what seemed like perpetual cold, wet and windy weather. According to the experts however, this weekend promises to be the warmest of the year so far! A mini heat wave no less! Good! The gang (piggy and people alike) can’t wait to get back to […]

Fairy is usually a very clean piggy but occasionally she gets ‘kebab toes’. Grubby little paws from paddling though ‘unmentionables’. If she washes herself with these ‘gloves’ she resembles a tiger with her pig-made stripes. Very un-Fairy-like! It isn’t quite as pleasant cuddling a piggy with grubby toes and stripy fur – especially if she […]

Fairy took Minty to choose her wedding dress the other day. Plans are well under way for ‘The Wedding Of The Year’. The invitations will be in the post any day – look out for yours! Here’s Fairy to take us through the proceedings. Morning, Mr Bear. It is so kind of you to offer […]

Although, like most guinea pigs, Fairy’s favourite pastime is eating she is also very aware of the importance of exercise. And what could be better than combining the two! Fairy’s little hay tin contains some chopped ‘special blend’ hay. Each ‘Push Up’ results in a small treat! The perfect combination! What a great game!

Christmas was a very special time for Fairy. Not only was it her first Christmas ever, it was also a time of giving of gifts and receiving surprise presents in return! The highlight of her day was Christmas Dinner. Mr Bear joined Fairy for a not quite traditional meal. Oh yummy! Look at my Christmas […]

Fairy is very good at posing for the camera. She is a consummate professional  – keeping still, applying just the right expression to suit the scene, she could not be more cooperative. She seems to know exactly what is expected of her and provides it willingly! Seeing her posing for the camera and taking into […]

Fairy really appreciates how lucky she is to have a happy, loving home here with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella. She enjoys top quality Guinea Pig food, has a beautiful bedroom, gym, playroom and garden. She has a personal specialist healthcare advisor and dentist. She has regular baths, cuddles, ear rubs and chin tickles. Her […]

Although May 1st was beautifully warm and sunny, today it is decidedly chilly here in our part of the UK. Fairy is safely snuggled up in her favourite Cuddle Cup enjoying a relaxing afternoon nap in the warm kitchen. I have just returned from a brisk walk down the lane for ‘grass collecting’ purposes – […]

Mariella joined us in October 2009. A teeny squiff of baby guinea pig, with the biggest round eyes and squidgiest nose you ever did see! Mariella is stunningly beautiful, wearing her gorgeous black, tan and white fur like some glamour model! She has a bold character to match! Mariella marched straight in through the door, […]

Fairy is weighed regularly to ensure she is maintaining a healthy weight and not loosing any of those precious grams. With any guinea pig weight loss is a cause for worry, but with Fairy being very small at 680g, around half the size of a standard piggy, I would be doubly concerned – especially knowing […]

Fairy has always enjoyed being cuddled and enjoys many hours asleep nestling in her Daddy’s hands! Being blind and deaf has its compensations – there’s nothing to distract you. So once you are in a warm, safe and comfortable snuggle, it is easy to nod off. Before last Christmas, Fairy proclaimed Pasquale Bear as officially […]

Another Mouse Tale today. You can follow this ongoing story starring Fairy and her friends, Minty and Monty, as well as other magical characters, by going to the Index page and selecting the Blog Posts from the Mouse Tales Category list. The Tales are also to be found in HELLO! Fairy magazine and the Special […]

I love Birthdays! Other peoples that is, not my own and especially NOT those BIG ones! I have one of ‘those’ tomorrow. Fairy has a really big, special Birthday coming up. Her Birthday is on June 11th, she will be one. Fairy has decided she doesn’t want any presents and any cash she receives is […]

Big Birthdays are not so bad after all! I am having a really wonderful day – on this my BIG Birthday! Lots of beautiful cards, surprise presents and yummy scrummy things to eat. I have received lots of Happy Birthday wishes from people I have never met but who I am proud to call friends. […]

Fairy enjoys very deep, satisfying sleeps! Her ears can be seen twitching, her toes jigging and she makes tiny little squeak noises – I always hope she is having a nice dream and not a nightmare. Errr, where am I then? It feels as though I am on another planet. The ground is all hard […]

Have you looked at the hedge in your garden recently and thought how characterless and unexciting it looks? A monotonous stretch of repetitious green – if you are lucky! Many garden hedges are threadbare and unkempt. Regular. Conventional. A barrier between your garden and your neighbour. Boring, dull, lifeless! Functional, unexceptional, middling and ‘hedge-like! What […]

Fairy accompanied Minty and Monty to the local soft furnishings store, ‘Sew Mouse’, yesterday. With her impeccable taste Minty is keen to to find the finest linens and fabrics to be made into curtains and such like for their stylish new home. Here we are then! An abundance of gorgeous fabrics. Looks like we could […]

Sunny day. Guineas on the lawn. And this is what they get up to! Hello, Marigold, are you coming with me? I am going exploring. C’mon you two, keep up! Humph – this is a bit of a dead end! Shhhh, I am going to sneak over here now . . . . . . […]

*Fairy shouting* Errr, ‘scuse me . . . I’m over here! Everything in the garden is so big! Even with Marigold and Mariella’s help, I will not be able to eat this huge carrot. And just look at Big Wilma! Did you ever see such a big guinea pig? I am down here now. Squirrel […]

Hello! I am over here! In amongst the daisies – they are white, just like me, and almost as pretty! They smell lovely but I know they are not edible! They are very comfy to sit on. I think I may just take a nap.

Minty and Monty are getting married! What promises to be THE wedding of the year will take place on Friday, 28th of May. After a long engagement, in mouse terms, of almost 3 months, the couple have decided to tie the knot! Fairy has been a great help planning and organising the wedding as well […]

The wedding preparations are well under way. Fairy has done an outstanding job as ‘event organizer’, planning everything with meticulous attention down to the last detail. We expect the big day to go without a hitch! This morning Fairy went for a wander round the garden in search of suitable flowers. Wow! Look at these […]

Welcome to the wedding of Fairy’s close friend, the beautiful international model Araminta Mouse, to the esteemed Mouse about town Montmorency Mouse. It seems like yesterday that Fairy played matchmaker, accompanying the pair on their very first date, going along to make sure Minty didn’t forget the chocolates on Valentine’s Day,  and being there at […]

It has been an exciting morning for everyone seeing the lovely Araminta and Montmorency tie the knot! Now we join the guests as they assemble in Fairy’s garden for the wedding reception this afternoon. Here they are, tucking into their buffet, toasting the happy couple, and discussing the bride’s mother’s hat! And here’s Fairy to […]

This is especially for you, AliMouse. When Fairy was very small she soon found the comfiest places to snooze. One of those was in the protective arms of Pasquale, the bear. She had no idea how tiny she appeared – and how sweet! Here she is at about 10 weeks of age. You can imagine […]

As you know, I am accompanying Minty and Monty on their honeymoon. I am taking the important role of Chief Photographer and Reporter. ! I knew I would come in useful. Here are the happy couple! Minty and Monty have packed their bag and are off on the holiday of a lifetime! Smile, say ‘cheese’! […]

We have had such a lovely honeymoon. I have kept an eye on the newly weds and we have gone everywhere together. I will be sending more pics soon so everyone can see what we’ve been up to. However, it seems we are returning home a bit early though, ready for my Big Birthday on […]

As I have some film left in the camera, due to having to dash back unexpectedly from ‘our’ honeymoon, I have decided to take you on a special guided tour round a bit of my garden. First stop is our Clubhouse. It is fitted out with a gigantic fridge, containing the worlds largest Salad Crisper […]

Fairy is ONE today! And look who are here! The love struck mice have returned from their Honeymoon – and just in time. It looks as though Fairy has a big pile of cards and presents, Minty! I can’t wait to see her face when she knows we have come home from our honeymoon especially […]

Thank you everyone for all your lovely Birthday Wishes, cards, gifts and salad – especially salad! I had a wonderful Birthday and love being ONE. Why can’t it be a brilliant birthday day every day? I didn’t have a traditional party as such with balloons and streamers and jelly being as I was a little […]

The newly weds have been spending time relaxing in their brand new rented apartment in London. It is Japanese style! Meanwhile Peregrine and Pandora are busy decorating Minty and Monty’s new home, with a little help from Fairy of course. Come along Peregrine, you will have to brush-up your technique – you’ve missed a bit! […]

As you know, I am a hay fever sufferer. It isn’t very nice when your dose gets all blocked up or you start sneezing everywhere. I am only allowed to go in the garden in the evening at present, when the pollen is a little less troublesome. Here I am examining the flowers last night. […]

I received lots of lovely gifts for my Birthday the other day but one in particular was most welcome: Grow-it-yourself Grass! Our good friends at Gorgeous Guineas sent me a bag of magical seed things which Daddy planted for me. We watered them every day and now look! Lots of yummy, tall, extra fresh tasting […]

It may not have escaped the more astute followers of my Blog that Marigold and Mariella, my half sisters, are rather more ‘traditionally built’ than my svelte, lithe self. This is due the the vast quantities of salad they consume. As well as their regular meals – breakfast, mid morning snacks, late morning snacks, lunch, […]

It is a lovely warm Sunday afternoon and the sun is shining. There is a light cooling breeze to gently ruffle my silky fur as I sit here snacking on my Grow-It-Yourself-Grass. Life is truly wonderful! Now, where was I? Oh yes – nom, nom, nom . . . Humm, now, where are those two […]

G’day my people! I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important. I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one! Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see […]

Dear The Manager, The Grow-It-Yourself-Grass Company, It is Fairy here again. I recently had the privilege of sampling a tray of your delicious grass, and very good it was too. However, before I could even enjoy it for a second time, my so called loving sisters managed to sneak in and gobble up every last […]

C’mon you two, we’re moving lawns! Look, the grass is greener over yonder! Pack your cuddle cups and snoozing bags, and bring plenty of nourishing snacks for the journey. We’d better get topped up, Marigold, Fairy usually knows what she is munching about . . . . nom, nom, nom. I don’t know why we […]

Hello my people. I am often asked by someone, what is the ideal number of piggy’s in a household? Well, we were given a present of this super-dooper, attractive sign thing by my piggy-daddy, Ernie, the other day. And, by jingo, it’s just the job for helping me to answer that very important question. Take […]

Righty ho. This looks like the perfect spot to show off my horticultural expertise. Just need to get all my equipment spread out. These little plastic pots are just the ticket! Now then, you two can be my Posse. Pay close attention, look photogenic and don’t forget to make me look good. Don’t say too […]

That grass growing experiment we did recently went very well. The only problem being that there wasn’t quite enough to grow round, so to speak. Actually, there might well have been if Mariella had been put on a strict diet. I know, I was the only one who thought she should be on one! Anyway, […]

Now then, settle down you two. You’ve been pacing about like a cat on a hot . . . oops, sorry about the indelicate feline reference there. No offence! Everything comes to those who wait – including the Postman. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong* Oh-ho. Is that the doorbell? That’ll be him […]

I didn’t know the new babies would be such hard work, Monty. I am just about at my tails end trying to cope with everything. I haven’t slept in nights! They don’t give me a moment’s peace – look at them! It’s bedtime now and they simply won’t settle down and go to sleep! Don’t […]

Everyone knows what a busy little bee I am, but my absolute favourite job has to be sending out parcels to my friends! Wrapping up a pressie in my own special logo-ed tissue paper, adding a personalised card and not forgetting a liberal sprinkle of special Fairy Magic and then imagining the parcel speeding off […]

Nanny Fairy here people, my good works and kindnesses to bestow. Minty and Monty wanted a quiet day out together today, probably to get me a big prize or plan a huge surprise party for me or something of that me-centred nature. I, of course, volunteered to look after all the baby mices for them. […]

I know what you are thinking – how could Fairy possibly leave all that spare lovely bright shiny sweet corn leaf treasure behind? Well – she didn’t! Just after the last photo was taken . . . Mummy – can you come quickly? Oh, and bring lots of carrier bags with you please! A few […]

Being a faithful Fairy follower, you will already know that I am well known for being exceptionally fond of my food. I find that when one isn’t actively engaged in the process of eating then reading all about it is the very next best thing. These quaint old salad recipes are making my mouth water. […]

Marigold: Mum said ‘no tea’ and to sit still and behave! Look, she’s got that black box with the funny lens thing again! Marigold: Look over there though, there’s that nice sweetcorn mine . . . . Fairy: Marigold, behave and look at the camera thingy. Mariella: Yes, it looks yummy. I am partial to […]

. . . earlier today in the Thatched Cottage Garden . . . What’s that orange thing over there, Petunia? I don’t know, Marmaduke. Maybe it has been sent here by a vastly superior intelligence from a galaxy far, far away. Either that or the local supermarket’s delivery service has got the order wrong again! […]

Recently, Fairy took her big sisters for a spin on her Magic Carrotty-Comfort-Cushion, which also doubles as a disguised spaceship! Fairy: C’mon everyone, all aboard! Fasten your seat-belts, if they will reach! We’ll have to hurry, it looks like rain. Hold on tight . . . here we go . . . . *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnooou* make […]

We find our pals busily sitting around happily doing nothing – but all is not as it seems.  There is a simmering mood of discontent coming inexorably to the boil, emanating from the hairy occupant of the cheese chair. Hummph, Hummmph and thrice Hummmmph! What ails you sweet Fairy? You don’t appear to be your […]

What ho! I may be able to fly a carrot through the wide blue skies and beyond – but who would have thought that a real life wooden pig might fly too? Just give me two ticks while I get cleared for take off and locate the accelerator pedal thingy, and check the horn – […]

Right Ho my hearties – it’s time to pose for our annual official portrait picture photo thingy. Try to look stately and imposing Marigold. Just like me. Everyone say “Fairy”! Mummy wanted us to squeeze together a bit. Fufff. Trust Mariella to take things too far. And I do not need a comb-over type toupee […]

Now then my people – let’s see what the weather is going to be like today. If it’s all little fluffy white clouds and gentle cooling breezes, I might initiate the inaugural flight of my brand new, top of the range, super splendiferous Fairycopter. And not a pesky baby mousey in sight! Well, I can’t […]

What do we have here then? Looks like a fan has sent me another present – all the way from Germany! It’s a goodly sized box. I wonder what it could be! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be exciting. I hope it’s salad. I have it on very good authority that German salad is […]

I was just having a quiet nose around the house and came across this interesting object. Now what ever can it be? Now then, I might just have a little look into that interesting top bit. Ah, just as I suspected – methinks it looks like a perfect Mariella-free snuggling zone. Onwards and upwards! Can […]

Hummph! Has my super sized, snuggly SMUGG boot shrunk? I can’t seem to get in to it properly. Just a minute, there are some kind of furry obstruction type things getting in my way. Fearless Fairy will have to investigate – gulp! Oh I might have known – a pair of Mousies! What on earth […]

It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about. Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it? What does it say on this here […]

Hello loyal friends and dedicated Fairy followers. As if life isn’t scary enough for a sensitive little piggy such as me, my mousey family mentioned that something called Halloween was happening and Halloween meant everything would be ghostly and witchy and scary and pumpkiny and . . . actually, I am not sure where pumpkins […]

My dearly beloved people. You have all been gathered here today, at my great personal inconvenience I might add, to hear the latest of my very important proclamations delivered on my specially commissioned Soapbox. An Announcement of such import that even little ol’ me is getting very excited! Tee hee. Humph, you two have finally […]

As the nights draw in and Fairy’s thoughts turn to ensuring maximum night time comfort and cosiness, The Fairy Palace has taken delivery of a brand new sleep device, guaranteed to provide suitable softiness and snoozability. Here we find our pint sized hero about to embark on its very first test drive – with a […]

Fairy is well known the world over for her generosity and philanthropic good works. This year she has truly excelled herself! Not only does she feature on the 2011 Guinea Lynx Calendar, a rather fetching portrait as Miss April, enhanced by having the beautiful Marigold on the cover, she is also immensely proud to spearhead […]

This is the life, what ho and all that. I am not sure why Daddy needs BOTH his paws to support me though, I’m not THAT big . . . am I? Did I hear him say his arms are aching, goodness me, whatever next? Humph! Back in my cuddle cup now – mind you, […]

Snow, snow and more snow! I expect you thought that is what you would find here today. Well, you were wrong! Nasty cold wet stuff that sticks to my whiskers – brrrr! So instead I am bringing you a little bit of summer. Sit down on a nice comfy chair, put your paws up and […]

SANTA! Here I am, all dressed up and ready for Christmas in my tastefully designed seasonal snuglage ensemble. Speech? SPEECH? Did I hear you say? Oh ok then – you asked for it! (Here I go then, in my best posh regal type accent). Dear readers, followers, fans and what have yous, welcome. Christmas is, […]

Ho, Ho and thrice Ho! Fairy here, your internationally renowned spirit of Christmas. Well, just to further illustrate what a selfless little bundle of philanthropic joy I am, I’m throwing a Festive Tea Party for Minty and Monty and the Pesky Mousie Babes so they can all show their appreciation for me and all my […]

Christmas is all over but don’t worry, it’s the New Year now! I hope it brings you health and happiness, cuddles and kisses, salads galore and all good things like that! It is also a time to make something called ‘resolutions’. When you are a small piggy like me, with so much to think about, […]

Oh! You’ve caught me in the act! I am just undoing another present! It must be for me, what with pink packaging and what-not. It tastes a bit funny. That’s odd! It isn’t an edible gift! Well, let’s be having a sniff under here . . . pfhoof, it smells SHINY! It’s a HAT! Well, […]

Peeep! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Look out everyone! Here I come! Brumm-brumm . . . brumm-brumm! Watch out – make way! Am I doing ok, Mum? I like driving – I don’t even think I need driving lessons! It might be a different matter when I get those two back seat drivers in with me though. I […]

Fairy’s Blog is dedicated to the most wondrous of creatures – The Guinea Pig! And to one very special character in particular – Fairy, who along with her Mouse and Guinea Pig pals, brings their magical world to life. Fairy is a very special little piggy. She is pure white and oh so dainty! She is very […]

I would like to introduce Fairy’s Blog with an inaugural photo tribute. A Fairy was born . . . It was obvious Fairy was going to be exceedingly fond of food . . . She likes her salads to be tidy! Lead on, Fairy! A family outing . . . Room for a little one! Fairy’s new […]

Fairy shares her time between the kitchen, the Piggy Playhouse and the lawn. She has a special, custom made bedroom to sleep in, filled with cosy Cuddle Cups and Hidey Huts. At 7am she is up and ready to start her day! Along with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella, they make their way to the […]

If you feel like a natter, you can email Fairy: hello@fairymagic.me You can also find her among the Guinea Lynx Forum Pages. Very special friends can have a chat on the phone!

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Her mum, Brillo, was a ‘rescue piggy’, taken from an unpleasant situation, along with her many assorted brothers, sisters and other relations. Here’s her Dad, Ernie! Fairy was a very small piggy. As well as being blind and deaf she also had many problems with her teeth. Her […]

Fairy’s friend, Montmorency Mouse, has been in an accident. The ever thoughtful Fairy pays him a visit. Delivering a big bunch of hay which, she is sure, will help Monty to get better. She also made a Get Well card for him! See Fairy passing the card to Monty in this short film. A few […]

Fairy’s close friend, Araminta, is up from London for a few days. The girls love to get together for a natter now and then. I like your red spotty top, Minty. Muum! Can I get something red and spotty please? Hum . . . Minty is so pretty, I wonder if she has a boyfriend […]

In September Fairy had some friends over to join her for an pignic. Here she is with her friend Ginny enjoying some salad snacks. Ginny is 6 years old and is just about the cuddliest piggy I have ever cuddled! And with Baby-Maybe. She lives with Ginny. She was one of the beautiful guinea pigs […]

This is nice, Minty. Our favourite tunes on the radio and some good books to share! This one has some handy hints about the latest fashions! What do you mean, ‘You don’t have anywhere to wear your nice things? Don’t you have a mousefriend? Hum, let me see, I’ll just have a look in my […]

Fairy, doing what she does best . . . . . . eating and posing! And . . . . washing her nose. And exploring! And checking. And eating some more!

Following on from the Girls’ Night In now, where Fairy promised to introduce Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. So THIS is where Fairy took them on their Blind Date!

After their date at the Cinema, Minty and Monty got together again – on St Valentine’s Day! Picture the scene – a romantic dinner for two at a posh restaurant, the lights are low, the music is playing softly. What could possibly go wrong? Err! Don’t mind me, you two. Carry on, you won’t even […]

Fairy invited Minty and Monty to stay over following their Romantic Dinner Date on St Valentine’s Day. Here they are on Sunday morning, relaxing on their bean bags, discussing the date, the food and, no doubt, their next date! You looked to be enjoying yourself last night, Minty. Maybe we can go on another date […]

Fairy’s many fans were thrilled to attend the awards ceremony following her success at the Piggy Of The Year Show! She was awarded the coveted Silver Salad Bowl and made a rousing speech afterwards! The event hit the headlines in the newspaper! Watch Fairy’s video of her winning round on YouTube.

Minty and Monty join Fairy in the kitchen to do some baking. Hello there! We are going to bake some cakes today. Haha! I like those chefs hats – just the ticket! Oops! You don’t want that in there, Minty, let me take care of it. You are doing a grand job! Hum, that flour […]

We lost our dear Matilda earlier this year. Anyone who has lost a much loved pet will know the sadness and emotions you feel. It is very hard and you cry and want them back, and you try to be happy for their lovely life they had with you. A lovely friend’s husband painted this […]

The Front Page speaks for itself! Full report to follow soon.

Araminta, Montmorency Mouse, Fairy, with Mr Bear at the helm, kept as cool as cucumbers as their treasure was swept overboard by a giant wave. It’s a lovely day for a boat trip, you are very kind to invite us, Mr Bear. This is the first time Araminta and Montmorency have been on a boat. […]

As we all know, Guinea Pigs eat a lot of hay. Indeed, it should be available at all times so they can graze throughout the day. Fairy has a particular way of enjoying her hay. As well as eating it she likes to burrow into it, enjoying the sensation of the hay tickling her back! […]

The Rt Hon Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse were delighted to be introduced to Araminta’s latest beau Montmorency Mouse, at a recent ‘at home’ held in their tasteful drawing room at the sumptuous and well appointed Plantagenet House, in London. Primrose looked splendid in her up to the minute fashionable gingham check pinafore dress, toning red […]

Ernie, Fairy’s Dad, visited a few weeks ago. He brought a beautiful gift for Fairy, a Special Salad Plate created by Ernie’s mum and dad especially for Fairy! Fairy couldn’t wait to test it out.

The guest beds are ready! Fairy has two very special friends coming to stay for a sleepover tonight. Can you guess who they might be? She has accepted the task of acting as their chaperone. What a responsibility! After a tasty supper and a romp round the garden to try and tire out her little […]

The girls got some new beds and huts recently. A perfect sunny day to sit out and enjoy their comfiness! Look at meeeeee! Peep-oh Mariella! Fairy doesn’t mind sharing.

‘It is a dream come true,’ exclaimed a breathless Araminta Mouse as she left The Eatalotto Ice Cream Parlour, arm in arm with her beau, Montmorency Mouse. ‘Oh, I was simply amazed when I spotted the huge sparkly diamond ring in the ice cream sundae! I thought I was going to faint!’ Hello everyone! I […]

Pigidges, in London’s Hayfur, was the venue chosen by Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse for a recent sumptuous dinner to celebrate the engagement of their daughter Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. Celebrated Chef Mark De’Salad, along with Sous-chef Loader Von Trap, created a special Commemorative Menu for the honoured guests. Perusing the very posh a la carte […]

Now that Minty and Monty are engaged they are eagerly looking for a mouse house to start their married life in. Fairy has located a helpful Estate Agent to show them some suitable – or should that be UNsuitable – homes! Hello! It looks as though there are plenty of homes for sale! I don’t […]

Although Minty and Monty have a comprehensive Wedding Gift List, they have anjoyed going on a spending spree recently. Selecting home furnishings has been a thoroughly exciting experience for the trio! Nice cooker, Minty! Snazzy carpet, it will be just right. A lovely bed! A little door mat to wipe my paws on! Some nifty […]

Now then you two, I’m glad you could come over today – we are going to bake a cake. I like your pinny, Minty, just the job! Let’s get on then, it will be a certain person’s Birthday soon, so you need to know what to do. This IS going to be fun! Now, where […]

A glorious Spring day and Fairy and her pals are off on a picnic! C’mon you lot, it’s time to get out! Well, it seems Pandora and Peregrine, Minty’s Brother, are getting along fine and dandy. It’s nice here, isn’t it? Lovely place to enjoy a spot of sunbathing. What a marvellous hat, Monty! I […]

Like most guineas Fairy likes to feel the warm sun on her fur! Front AND back! It’s lovely! It is nice to sit out with your friends too. Even if you can’t go out, it is good to know the sun is shining! It warms your whiskers . . . . . . and makes […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Brillo, her mum, was among five guinea pigs we rescued from an intolerable situation. She gave birth to 3 babies, Fairy, Flash and Jiff, a little boy piggy. It didn’t take long to realise Fairy was blind and a few days after that it was apparent she had […]

It has been a very long winter. Five months of what seemed like perpetual cold, wet and windy weather. According to the experts however, this weekend promises to be the warmest of the year so far! A mini heat wave no less! Good! The gang (piggy and people alike) can’t wait to get back to […]

Fairy is usually a very clean piggy but occasionally she gets ‘kebab toes’. Grubby little paws from paddling though ‘unmentionables’. If she washes herself with these ‘gloves’ she resembles a tiger with her pig-made stripes. Very un-Fairy-like! It isn’t quite as pleasant cuddling a piggy with grubby toes and stripy fur – especially if she […]

Fairy took Minty to choose her wedding dress the other day. Plans are well under way for ‘The Wedding Of The Year’. The invitations will be in the post any day – look out for yours! Here’s Fairy to take us through the proceedings. Morning, Mr Bear. It is so kind of you to offer […]

Although, like most guinea pigs, Fairy’s favourite pastime is eating she is also very aware of the importance of exercise. And what could be better than combining the two! Fairy’s little hay tin contains some chopped ‘special blend’ hay. Each ‘Push Up’ results in a small treat! The perfect combination! What a great game!

Fairy is a big supporter of Guinea Pig Charities. We hope she inspires her Fairy-Followers to give generously if they are able to! Fairy’s Cuddle Cup beds, Huts and Cosies are sourced from various different suppliers. We also have some creative friends who produce various piggy care products and other items. Piggy Lovers United is […]

Christmas was a very special time for Fairy. Not only was it her first Christmas ever, it was also a time of giving of gifts and receiving surprise presents in return! The highlight of her day was Christmas Dinner. Mr Bear joined Fairy for a not quite traditional meal. Oh yummy! Look at my Christmas […]

Fairy is very good at posing for the camera. She is a consummate professional  – keeping still, applying just the right expression to suit the scene, she could not be more cooperative. She seems to know exactly what is expected of her and provides it willingly! Seeing her posing for the camera and taking into […]

Fairy really appreciates how lucky she is to have a happy, loving home here with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella. She enjoys top quality Guinea Pig food, has a beautiful bedroom, gym, playroom and garden. She has a personal specialist healthcare advisor and dentist. She has regular baths, cuddles, ear rubs and chin tickles. Her […]

Although May 1st was beautifully warm and sunny, today it is decidedly chilly here in our part of the UK. Fairy is safely snuggled up in her favourite Cuddle Cup enjoying a relaxing afternoon nap in the warm kitchen. I have just returned from a brisk walk down the lane for ‘grass collecting’ purposes – […]

Mariella joined us in October 2009. A teeny squiff of baby guinea pig, with the biggest round eyes and squidgiest nose you ever did see! Mariella is stunningly beautiful, wearing her gorgeous black, tan and white fur like some glamour model! She has a bold character to match! Mariella marched straight in through the door, […]

Fairy is weighed regularly to ensure she is maintaining a healthy weight and not loosing any of those precious grams. With any guinea pig weight loss is a cause for worry, but with Fairy being very small at 680g, around half the size of a standard piggy, I would be doubly concerned – especially knowing […]

Fairy has always enjoyed being cuddled and enjoys many hours asleep nestling in her Daddy’s hands! Being blind and deaf has its compensations – there’s nothing to distract you. So once you are in a warm, safe and comfortable snuggle, it is easy to nod off. Before last Christmas, Fairy proclaimed Pasquale Bear as officially […]

Another Mouse Tale today. You can follow this ongoing story starring Fairy and her friends, Minty and Monty, as well as other magical characters, by going to the Index page and selecting the Blog Posts from the Mouse Tales Category list. The Tales are also to be found in HELLO! Fairy magazine and the Special […]

I love Birthdays! Other peoples that is, not my own and especially NOT those BIG ones! I have one of ‘those’ tomorrow. Fairy has a really big, special Birthday coming up. Her Birthday is on June 11th, she will be one. Fairy has decided she doesn’t want any presents and any cash she receives is […]

Big Birthdays are not so bad after all! I am having a really wonderful day – on this my BIG Birthday! Lots of beautiful cards, surprise presents and yummy scrummy things to eat. I have received lots of Happy Birthday wishes from people I have never met but who I am proud to call friends. […]

Fairy enjoys very deep, satisfying sleeps! Her ears can be seen twitching, her toes jigging and she makes tiny little squeak noises – I always hope she is having a nice dream and not a nightmare. Errr, where am I then? It feels as though I am on another planet. The ground is all hard […]

Have you looked at the hedge in your garden recently and thought how characterless and unexciting it looks? A monotonous stretch of repetitious green – if you are lucky! Many garden hedges are threadbare and unkempt. Regular. Conventional. A barrier between your garden and your neighbour. Boring, dull, lifeless! Functional, unexceptional, middling and ‘hedge-like!

Fairy accompanied Minty and Monty to the local soft furnishings store, ‘Sew Mouse’, yesterday. With her impeccable taste Minty is keen to to find the finest linens and fabrics to be made into curtains and such like for their stylish new home. Here we are then! An abundance of gorgeous fabrics. Looks like we could […]

Sunny day. Guineas on the lawn. And this is what they get up to! Hello, Marigold, are you coming with me? I am going exploring. C’mon you two, keep up! Humph – this is a bit of a dead end! Shhhh, I am going to sneak over here now . . . . . . […]

*Fairy shouting* Errr, ‘scuse me . . . I’m over here! Everything in the garden is so big! Even with Marigold and Mariella’s help, I will not be able to eat this huge carrot. And just look at Big Wilma! Did you ever see such a big guinea pig? I am down here now. Squirrel […]

Hello! I am over here! In amongst the daisies – they are white, just like me, and almost as pretty! They smell lovely but I know they are not edible! They are very comfy to sit on. I think I may just take a nap.

Minty and Monty are getting married! What promises to be THE wedding of the year will take place on Friday, 28th of May. After a long engagement, in mouse terms, of almost 3 months, the couple have decided to tie the knot! Fairy has been a great help planning and organising the wedding as well […]

The wedding preparations are well under way. Fairy has done an outstanding job as ‘event organizer’, planning everything with meticulous attention down to the last detail. We expect the big day to go without a hitch! This morning Fairy went for a wander round the garden in search of suitable flowers. Wow! Look at these […]

Welcome to the wedding of Fairy’s close friend, the beautiful international model Araminta Mouse, to the esteemed Mouse about town Montmorency Mouse. It seems like yesterday that Fairy played matchmaker, accompanying the pair on their very first date, going along to make sure Minty didn’t forget the chocolates on Valentine’s Day,  and being there at […]

It has been an exciting morning for everyone seeing the lovely Araminta and Montmorency tie the knot! Now we join the guests as they assemble in Fairy’s garden for the wedding reception this afternoon. Here they are, tucking into their buffet, toasting the happy couple, and discussing the bride’s mother’s hat! And here’s Fairy to […]

This is especially for you, AliMouse. When Fairy was very small she soon found the comfiest places to snooze. One of those was in the protective arms of Pasquale, the bear. She had no idea how tiny she appeared – and how sweet! Here she is at about 10 weeks of age. You can imagine […]

As you know, I am accompanying Minty and Monty on their honeymoon. I am taking the important role of Chief Photographer and Reporter. ! I knew I would come in useful. Here are the happy couple! Minty and Monty have packed their bag and are off on the holiday of a lifetime! Smile, say ‘cheese’! […]

We have had such a lovely honeymoon. I have kept an eye on the newly weds and we have gone everywhere together. I will be sending more pics soon so everyone can see what we’ve been up to. However, it seems we are returning home a bit early though, ready for my Big Birthday on […]

As I have some film left in the camera, due to having to dash back unexpectedly from ‘our’ honeymoon, I have decided to take you on a special guided tour round a bit of my garden. First stop is our Clubhouse. It is fitted out with a gigantic fridge, containing the worlds largest Salad Crisper […]

Fairy is ONE today! And look who are here! The love struck mice have returned from their Honeymoon – and just in time. It looks as though Fairy has a big pile of cards and presents, Minty! I can’t wait to see her face when she knows we have come home from our honeymoon especially […]

Thank you everyone for all your lovely Birthday Wishes, cards, gifts and salad – especially salad! I had a wonderful Birthday and love being ONE. Why can’t it be a brilliant birthday day every day? I didn’t have a traditional party as such with balloons and streamers and jelly being as I was a little […]

The newly weds have been spending time relaxing in their brand new rented apartment in London. It is Japanese style! Meanwhile Peregrine and Pandora are busy decorating Minty and Monty’s new home, with a little help from Fairy of course. Come along Peregrine, you will have to brush-up your technique – you’ve missed a bit! […]

As you know, I am a hay fever sufferer. It isn’t very nice when your dose gets all blocked up or you start sneezing everywhere. I am only allowed to go in the garden in the evening at present, when the pollen is a little less troublesome. Here I am examining the flowers last night. […]

I received lots of lovely gifts for my Birthday the other day but one in particular was most welcome: Grow-it-yourself Grass! Our good friends at Gorgeous Guineas sent me a bag of magical seed things which Daddy planted for me. We watered them every day and now look! Lots of yummy, tall, extra fresh tasting […]

It may not have escaped the more astute followers of my Blog that Marigold and Mariella, my half sisters, are rather more ‘traditionally built’ than my svelte, lithe self. This is due the the vast quantities of salad they consume. As well as their regular meals – breakfast, mid morning snacks, late morning snacks, lunch, […]

It is a lovely warm Sunday afternoon and the sun is shining. There is a light cooling breeze to gently ruffle my silky fur as I sit here snacking on my Grow-It-Yourself-Grass. Life is truly wonderful! Now, where was I? Oh yes – nom, nom, nom . . . Humm, now, where are those two […]

G’day my people! I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important. I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one! Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see […]

Dear The Manager, The Grow-It-Yourself-Grass Company, It is Fairy here again. I recently had the privilege of sampling a tray of your delicious grass, and very good it was too. However, before I could even enjoy it for a second time, my so called loving sisters managed to sneak in and gobble up every last […]

C’mon you two, we’re moving lawns! Look, the grass is greener over yonder! Pack your cuddle cups and snoozing bags, and bring plenty of nourishing snacks for the journey. We’d better get topped up, Marigold, Fairy usually knows what she is munching about . . . . nom, nom, nom. I don’t know why we […]

Hello my people. I am often asked by someone, what is the ideal number of piggy’s in a household? Well, we were given a present of this super-dooper, attractive sign thing by my piggy-daddy, Ernie, the other day. And, by jingo, it’s just the job for helping me to answer that very important question. Take […]

Righty ho. This looks like the perfect spot to show off my horticultural expertise. Just need to get all my equipment spread out. These little plastic pots are just the ticket! Now then, you two can be my Posse. Pay close attention, look photogenic and don’t forget to make me look good. Don’t say too […]

Exercise your brain cells with our exclusive Salad Break Quiz Pages!

That grass growing experiment we did recently went very well. The only problem being that there wasn’t quite enough to grow round, so to speak. Actually, there might well have been if Mariella had been put on a strict diet. I know, I was the only one who thought she should be on one! Anyway, […]

Now then, settle down you two. You’ve been pacing about like a cat on a hot . . . oops, sorry about the indelicate feline reference there. No offence! Everything comes to those who wait – including the Postman. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong* Oh-ho. Is that the doorbell? That’ll be him […]

I didn’t know the new babies would be such hard work, Monty. I am just about at my tails end trying to cope with everything. I haven’t slept in nights! They don’t give me a moment’s peace – look at them! It’s bedtime now and they simply won’t settle down and go to sleep! Don’t […]

Everyone knows what a busy little bee I am, but my absolute favourite job has to be sending out parcels to my friends! Wrapping up a pressie in my own special logo-ed tissue paper, adding a personalised card and not forgetting a liberal sprinkle of special Fairy Magic and then imagining the parcel speeding off […]

Nanny Fairy here people, my good works and kindnesses to bestow. Minty and Monty wanted a quiet day out together today, probably to get me a big prize or plan a huge surprise party for me or something of that me-centred nature. I, of course, volunteered to look after all the baby mices for them. […]

I know what you are thinking – how could Fairy possibly leave all that spare lovely bright shiny sweet corn leaf treasure behind? Well – she didn’t! Just after the last photo was taken . . . Mummy – can you come quickly? Oh, and bring lots of carrier bags with you please! A few […]

Being a faithful Fairy follower, you will already know that I am well known for being exceptionally fond of my food. I find that when one isn’t actively engaged in the process of eating then reading all about it is the very next best thing. These quaint old salad recipes are making my mouth water. […]

Marigold: Mum said ‘no tea’ and to sit still and behave! Look, she’s got that black box with the funny lens thing again! Marigold: Look over there though, there’s that nice sweetcorn mine . . . . Fairy: Marigold, behave and look at the camera thingy. Mariella: Yes, it looks yummy. I am partial to […]

. . . earlier today in the Thatched Cottage Garden . . . What’s that orange thing over there, Petunia? I don’t know, Marmaduke. Maybe it has been sent here by a vastly superior intelligence from a galaxy far, far away. Either that or the local supermarket’s delivery service has got the order wrong again! […]

Recently, Fairy took her big sisters for a spin on her Magic Carrotty-Comfort-Cushion, which also doubles as a disguised spaceship! Fairy: C’mon everyone, all aboard! Fasten your seat-belts, if they will reach! We’ll have to hurry, it looks like rain. Hold on tight . . . here we go . . . . *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnooou* make […]

We find our pals busily sitting around happily doing nothing – but all is not as it seems.  There is a simmering mood of discontent coming inexorably to the boil, emanating from the hairy occupant of the cheese chair. Hummph, Hummmph and thrice Hummmmph! What ails you sweet Fairy? You don’t appear to be your […]

What ho! I may be able to fly a carrot through the wide blue skies and beyond – but who would have thought that a real life wooden pig might fly too? Just give me two ticks while I get cleared for take off and locate the accelerator pedal thingy, and check the horn – […]

Right Ho my hearties – it’s time to pose for our annual official portrait picture photo thingy. Try to look stately and imposing Marigold. Just like me. Everyone say “Fairy”! Mummy wanted us to squeeze together a bit. Fufff. Trust Mariella to take things too far. And I do not need a comb-over type toupee […]

Now then my people – let’s see what the weather is going to be like today. If it’s all little fluffy white clouds and gentle cooling breezes, I might initiate the inaugural flight of my brand new, top of the range, super splendiferous Fairycopter. And not a pesky baby mousey in sight! Well, I can’t […]

What do we have here then? Looks like a fan has sent me another present – all the way from Germany! It’s a goodly sized box. I wonder what it could be! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be exciting. I hope it’s salad. I have it on very good authority that German salad is […]

I was just having a quiet nose around the house and came across this interesting object. Now what ever can it be? Now then, I might just have a little look into that interesting top bit. Ah, just as I suspected – methinks it looks like a perfect Mariella-free snuggling zone. Onwards and upwards! Can […]

Hummph! Has my super sized, snuggly SMUGG boot shrunk? I can’t seem to get in to it properly. Just a minute, there are some kind of furry obstruction type things getting in my way. Fearless Fairy will have to investigate – gulp! Oh I might have known – a pair of Mousies! What on earth […]

It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about. Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it? What does it say on this here […]

Hello loyal friends and dedicated Fairy followers. As if life isn’t scary enough for a sensitive little piggy such as me, my mousey family mentioned that something called Halloween was happening and Halloween meant everything would be ghostly and witchy and scary and pumpkiny and . . . actually, I am not sure where pumpkins […]

My dearly beloved people. You have all been gathered here today, at my great personal inconvenience I might add, to hear the latest of my very important proclamations delivered on my specially commissioned Soapbox. An Announcement of such import that even little ol’ me is getting very excited! Tee hee. Humph, you two have finally […]

As the nights draw in and Fairy’s thoughts turn to ensuring maximum night time comfort and cosiness, The Fairy Palace has taken delivery of a brand new sleep device, guaranteed to provide suitable softiness and snoozability. Here we find our pint sized hero about to embark on its very first test drive – with a […]

Fairy is well known the world over for her generosity and philanthropic good works. This year she has truly excelled herself! Not only does she feature on the 2011 Guinea Lynx Calendar, a rather fetching portrait as Miss April, enhanced by having the beautiful Marigold on the cover, she is also immensely proud to spearhead […]

This is the life, what ho and all that. I am not sure why Daddy needs BOTH his paws to support me though, I’m not THAT big . . . am I? Did I hear him say his arms are aching, goodness me, whatever next? Humph! Back in my cuddle cup now – mind you, […]

Snow, snow and more snow! I expect you thought that is what you would find here today. Well, you were wrong! Nasty cold wet stuff that sticks to my whiskers – brrrr! So instead I am bringing you a little bit of summer. Sit down on a nice comfy chair, put your paws up and […]

SANTA! Here I am, all dressed up and ready for Christmas in my tastefully designed seasonal snuglage ensemble. Speech? SPEECH? Did I hear you say? Oh ok then – you asked for it! (Here I go then, in my best posh regal type accent). Dear readers, followers, fans and what have yous, welcome. Christmas is, […]

Ho, Ho and thrice Ho! Fairy here, your internationally renowned spirit of Christmas. Well, just to further illustrate what a selfless little bundle of philanthropic joy I am, I’m throwing a Festive Tea Party for Minty and Monty and the Pesky Mousie Babes so they can all show their appreciation for me and all my […]

Christmas is all over but don’t worry, it’s the New Year now! I hope it brings you health and happiness, cuddles and kisses, salads galore and all good things like that! It is also a time to make something called ‘resolutions’. When you are a small piggy like me, with so much to think about, […]

Oh! You’ve caught me in the act! I am just undoing another present! It must be for me, what with pink packaging and what-not. It tastes a bit funny. That’s odd! It isn’t an edible gift! Well, let’s be having a sniff under here . . . pfhoof, it smells SHINY! It’s a HAT! Well, […]

Peeep! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Look out everyone! Here I come! Brumm-brumm . . . brumm-brumm! Watch out – make way! Am I doing ok, Mum? I like driving – I don’t even think I need driving lessons! It might be a different matter when I get those two back seat drivers in with me though. I […]

I am just getting a bit of practice in ready for my forthcoming Driving Test. Being the generous little piggy I am, I offered Marigold and Mariella a ride today. Hang on in there, you two! I am just going to get my paw down and go for a bit of a zoom! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Nieooooooooooooooooooow! […]

Hello, Fairy here! I have to admit to feeling somewhat muddled today. I keep thinking I am seeing things, it must be my age . . . or lack of food or something. Whatever it is, it is serious – come on, I’ll show you what . . . Here’s WHAT! Look! A small, round, […]

Hello! What do we have here then . . . is this what I think it is? I DO know what it is, I do, I do, I have just forgotten the word for it . . . anyway, it must be a present for me seeing as it’s landed here, right under my nose. […]

Fairy . . . oh, Fairy! Wakey, wakey! *blows gently on a Fairy-flap* Oh crumbs! What does she want now . . . . fuff and fum! I was just having a nice nap in my brand new, snuggly, buggly, cosy, dozy bed. Oh hello! What! What do you want now . . . Look […]

Ahoy! I say! AHOY THERE! Chocks away! I am going to sail my my beautiful new boat on a voyage across the seas. Errr . . . what do you mean, ‘I have to row’? Isn’t it powered by anything? Well, I’ll soon see about that! That’s it, Marigold – row, row, row the boat, […]

Help! HELP!! HEEEEEEELP! Let me out NOW – this minute! What’s all that noisy, squeaky fuss about, Marigold? There’s an awful lot of ‘language’ coming from somewhere! There does seem to be rather a lot of noise. Never mind. Lets just ignore it. Look – we are about to get our photo taken. Smile sweetly […]

What’s this then? And where’s the food, if you don’t mind me asking? Pfhuff! It’s got funny little Fairies here and there, but they are not proper Fairies. We ALL know what a proper Fairy looks like. ‘scuse me! Anyone! What’s this for then? I think there has been a mistake. Oh! OHHHH! LOOK at […]

Due to other engagements Fairy and the team couldn’t make the Royal Wedding. They wish the happy couple happiness, health and lots of salad and want to remind you of The Wedding of the Year and the Grand Wedding Reception last year!

As many of my you know, my online friends, the Weaver family in America, recently lost everything when they were hit by a tornado. I can’t put it any better than this Blog post. If you want to help you can send a donation. Every Pound or Dollar will help Marsha, her family and pets. […]

We have a problem. In between snacking and snoozing, and snacking a bit more, all I keep hearing are mutterances about the garden. The gist of it is, the long, cold winter killed a load of plants off. Well, it isn’t a problem now! Mum! Look at all these nice new plants I’ve found for […]

Oh hello. Would you mind keeping the noise down a bit? I am trying to have my nap. I am worn to a furry frazzle. Why? You may well ask. I was up all last night meddling in a certain Minty and Monty Mouses affairs – it is their Wedding Anniversary tomorrow and knowing what […]

All clear left! Check the mirror – and we’re off! Toot, TOOT! Watch out everyone, Fairy’s behind the wheel. What a glorious day for a spiffing drive in the country. No canoodling in the back. I’ve got my eye on you two! Now then, before we go any further, I think you ought to know […]

You guessed!!!!! For those of you that didn’t (humph!), here’s another little clue. . . .

Hello . . . . HELLO! Is there anyone out there? I am here – in HERE! I KNOW you can’t SEE me, but I AM here! I am busy right now, being a little Flower-Fairy . . . can you come back later, please . . . Hehehe! That should keep all my viewers […]

Some of you lucky people who follow my antics on the super-duper Guinea Lynx Forum will recall the recent excitement when I held a little competition to guess how many beds, cosies, hideys and houses and things I had acquired. Here’s how it all came about. Gather round, make yourselves comfy as I announce the […]

Psst! Mr Bear! There seems to be a . . . new Fairy thingy! Is it pour moi? Wow – look, it’s got WINGS and everything. Is this seat arrangement sufficiently errr, ‘ample’, to accommodate for my furry little behind? Hum . . . at least its got a brake pedal! What’s all that ‘Joystick’ […]

I am back! I went for a jolly long flight but I am here, safe and sound, on terra firma – well, actually I am perched atop a Quince at this exact moment – Hey, Mum! What are we doing with these Quincey type fruits then? Oh well, I did ask. Looks like my salad, […]

This post also appears on Guinea Pig Today Fairy: Welcome to ‘Fairy Asks The Big Questions’ and an extra big, piggy-type welcome to my Mummy who has kindly agreed to be interviewed today. Mummy, your life changed on June 11th 2009, can you tell us why? Mildred: I certainly can! That was the day a […]

It’s Halloween but don’t worry – there are NO such thing as GHOSTS! And if there was a GHOST? Yikes! I’d get in my magic hat . . . with Mr Bear to protect ME! All this talk of silly ghosties has made me want a cuddle . . . not that I am frightened […]

Oh, hello there! I am just having some quality time with my Daddy. Can you just scritch a bit higher Daddy? Down a bit . . . . up a bit! Oooh! That’s really perfect! What a lovely, jolly useful Daddy. What’s that, Daddy? You are going away for a couple of days? Eeeeeeek! WHEN […]

Hello Fairy-Followers, Friends and fans! If it is a while since you last deigned to pay a visit then you really need to read my previous missive – Fairy Tries Her Hand At Inventing, it would appear that it has got me noticed by a certain whiskery personage! I have an admirer! Yes, yes I […]

Right-ho my people, grab your Pinnies, we are going to be very busy in the kitchen. Today is officially ‘Stir-Up Sunday’. The day when everyone who’s anyone bakes something tasty in anticipation of that far and distant date, Christmas day. Before I go any further though, I am just a tad concerned you may have […]

Greetings my people. Fairy here, your very own Plutocratic type business mogul. Welcome to my Extraordinfairy Emergency General and Very Important Meeting. I held a big vote before you all arrived and you will doubtless be relieved to hear that I was elected Chair-Fairy – unanimously. So, let’s get straight on with things and let’s […]

My new Gorgeous Guineas shampoo has arrived just in time for tomorrow’s communal bath. Am I REALLY going to have a bath with Marigold AND Mariella, Mum? Good job we have a BIG BATH is all I can say.

Oh come all ye faithful, tra la – friends, new callers here for the very first time (and what took you so long, may I ask?) and my best, most Important New Best Friend,  Raj Mahal. It is time to ready ourselves for that special time of the year once again. The day will soon […]

Ho ho ho and all that festive malarkey! I am really getting into the Christmas spirit and today’s the big day – it’s time to get the jolly old tree up! Looks like Mummy and Daddy have started without me – blooming cheek! Very errr . . . . nice. Lacking a few salad related […]

Right everyone, get snuggled in. Mummy says it’s not too long to go now before Santa will be nipping down our chimney (why he can’t use the door like everyone else is beyond me!), so we had better start to be all good and everything. That’s it Mariella, get the sherry and mince pie all […]

Oh come all ye faithful (followers)! Joy to the world (of mice) – Fairy is come amongst you! It’s time for my pre-Christmas address to the Fairy type nation. Just a minute! Who are YOU then? Mr Robin? Hum . . . birds don’t eat salad do they? No? Oh well, you can stay seeing […]

Here’s my 2011 Christmas Quiz. Don’t go expecting any prizes but I WILL KNOW if you manage to finish it and then I will send some invisible Fairy-Magic-Wishes your way! If you need a Piggy-Sized image, then nip over to Flickr!

Our beautiful Princess, Mariella, passed away unexpectedly yesterday.   My best friend . . . And bravest passenger . . . My ‘copter-snitcher . . . but I didn’t mind! The best Birthday guest ever! And always there to test the latest ‘topper’ . . . Our Princess . . . September 2009 – January […]

See more of Taj Mahal and his lovely family! Guinea Pig Magazine – out today!

Being a connoisseur of cuddles and ear rubs I wish to present how you too can get the best out of your human. First off, get yourself all comfy and cosy and flopped. In this example I make sure my daddy’s left paw is suitably placed to make a perfect resting place for my front […]

What’s this then? Hummmph – Looks like someone has written this card all upside-down. Muuuuuuummmy – come quick – can you read upside-down writing???? Oooooooh – this looks like a super hooper dooper Auntie Serena Calender. What a wonderful way to count the days until the Piggolympics Event of The Year  (officially known as the […]

Mummy has been telling me lately that I must be very careful not to get into a Jam – she didn’t say anything about Marmalade though! Ha! Fooled you! I’m not getting all sticky in here, but according to Mummy, it is Marmalade making time! These super-duper oranges are only available early in the year. […]

Squeak! Squeak! Errrrr – Auntie Fairy – it looks like Mummy has forgotten to dust the garden this morning – either that or she’s been baking and has run amok with the icing sugar! Don’t be silly little mousey types – it’s been snowing. Go on, off you go and explore. Wowee – this snow […]

My Daddy has left home! Don’t worry, it’s only for two days and while I am not one to complain, much, there are times when I just need a jolly good scritch. Remember these? My patented, shiny new invention was just the job when I was Daddy-less last time. They are just the right pudginess, […]

Daddy is back home, safe and sound and all ready to administer to ME, dishing out his super-cuddles like there’s no tomorrow. AND he brought GIFTS for those deserving of them. That will be ME then . . . . a jolly red bag filled with a Fairy-treat, no doubt. That’s handy! Well, this is […]

Welcome to Fairy’s Marvellous Magical Marmalade Factory Hello my adoring fans and other people. I’m glad you could join me on this historic day in Fairy’s Fruitery. We have been selected by a very important group of Magical Marmalade big-wigs to be visited by an even more important celebrity type someone for possible inclusion in […]

The endlessly interesting thing about being surrounded by lots and lots of pesky mousie type babes is – they are very inquisitive critters who are always asking lots of deep and meaningful questions. Mostly concerning cheese it must be said, but occasionally something a little more profound. This morning I was visited by a very earnest young […]

Hummmph – either someone has tidied away the view (Mummy), or someone is trying to sneak up on me. Funnily enough, I have spotted the odd couple of strange ears on the horizon lately. Marigold, have you spotted any stranger than usual going on type things in the ‘strange ears on the horizon’ department recently? […]

Hello there my loyal and dedicated Fairy Followers. It won’t have egg-scaped your notice that Easter is upon us and my world famous egg-stravagent generosity towards Mousie type beasties knows no bounds. Here I am delivering  their soufflé doop-fflé Easter Eggs. How egg-citing for them!   Whoooooops – I just performed a wheelie! Quick scramble out of […]

Hello, hello and hello thrice! My eyesight might not be all that spot on . . . but isn’t that a . . .   SQUIRREL getting into MY BED?   I am NOT telling tales, honestly.   You needn’t look at ME like that. And you can stop shaking your bushy tail at me, […]

Well, what do we have here then? It appears to be my very own Piglet-sized Mum and Dad lolling about on the beach with the infamous Great, Great Auntie Mavis pawed with her bucket and spade. Looks like fun! It reminds me it’s time yours truly (that’s ME) should decide where to take my yearly […]

But Marigold, it MIGHT be MY Birthday. When they were handing out the Birthday-dates, maybe they gave you MY Birthday so that must mean that this Birthday that is yours is actually, more than likely in fact, mine. Why can’t it be MY Birthday? What’s that? I can share YOUR Birthday? Well, that’s just the […]

Those of you that read my holiday investigation series a few days ago will know, after careful sizing up the facts and what not, I opted for the Lazy Days Holiday. Having a little snoop around the internet I found this advert for Training Your Deckchair. Get me booked in, Mum! And just in case […]

Good morning my people. I had a dream last night that Summer is finally on it’s way. Time to prepare myself for the beach! I am all signed-up for a very special course Mr Bear is running on how to do something complicated with a folding chair. Sounds a bit barmy to me – but […]

Greetings my people – and welcome to a lovely sunny spot in the garden where I am sure you will all be eagerly awaiting my latest pontifications. So here goes. Many of my loyal followers will be familiar with the term ‘Spring Cleaning’. Although more usually applied to what ones Personal Piggy Palace goes through […]

  Fairy is what is known as a Lethal White Guinea Pig. She basically has a genetic ‘fault’ due to certain breeding conditions. She is blind and deaf and like many LW’s she has problems with her teeth. Because of the way they are formed they require regular trimming as they do not meet and […]

Greetings my loyal subjects. Apparently there are lots of Street Parties and everything in the UK today –  are Roads and Motorways invited too? There is also a huge flotilla of boats type pageant extravaganza going on down the River Thames in London town. All this festivity must be to do with MY upcoming Birthday. […]

Greetings my loyal friends and followers. It’s here! The day you have all been looking forward to for simply ages, is HERE! I am THREE today! Yippee and everything. Yes, I am all big and grown up now. I can’t believe my eyes, a jolly big party has been laid on for little ol’ me, […]

Right then my adoring fans, after weeks of eager anticipation it’s time to put aside all those brochures and for Mr Bear and me to set off on our jolly holidays. There’s just the small matter of the packing left to do.   So Mr Bear, I hope you have been following my carefully written […]

SQUEEK – Oh this is the life. A holiday by the sea. Peace, perfect peace. Nothing to do but relax, lots of lovely sun and no one to boss us about. What could possibly disturb this idyllic tranquillity?   Yoo hooooo – Mousies, don’t panic, your beloved Fairy is here. This looks just the spot […]

Meanwhile – back at the beach.   SQUEAK – Sssssh, keep the noise down chaps and chapesses. We don’t want to rouse the ‘sleeping beauty’ from her slumbers just yet, do we?   Asleep? Moi? Oh no . . . I was just resting my eyes a bit.   Now where was I? Oh yes, […]

Following a particularly vigorous and rumbustious game of Pirates, peace and tranquility has returned to our holiday idyll. Although with a certain young lady in attendance, albeit briefly.   Oh yes, this all looks very pleasant. I particularly like Marigold’s new bikini. Very fetching indeed.   Enough of all this indolence. It’s high time to […]

Our dear Marigold has had some health issues recently. We made the decision (the one we all dread) to let Marigold leave with some dignity on Friday. Her health deteriorated over Thursday night, but she seemed to enjoy her romp at 7am when she and Fairy went into the Piggy Palace where they both always […]

Whoooo! What’s all this then? And WHO is disturbing my ‘copter-nap? Oh, it’s Dougal . . . and those snow-bright-white-polar BEARS. Keep the noise down. Errr, don’t look now chaps, but Dougal has forgotten to put his white suit on.   Who’s this? Oh not to panic, it’s only daddy.   ‘Come on out, my […]

Everything and everyone is ready for off! I am ready too – let’s hit the road! What’s this? We seem to be crossing the border into Scotland. Are we nearly there yet? One hour later . . . Not only are we THERE we are on our way back now – with extra cargo! Hold […]

C’mon you lot! Where are we going, Fairy? This way everyone. Look sharp! Fairy won’t notice me stopping for a wee smackerel! What ARE you doing, Bear? Who has been eating MY snacks? Oh-ho! I WAS spotted! I wasn’t! Good job there’s plenty of grass for everyone. It’s nice here, isn’t it Pixie . . […]

Hello – is there room in there for little ‘un? WHAT? ME? PUSH? Oh okay then. what with my mighty strength and magic Fairy-Powers I will soon have this wagon rolling. Heave . . . oh just a grass-picking minute, they must be joking. But don’t worry, we already have a man-powered engine on paw. […]

Jolly nice salad, chef! Thanks! Hum . . . it all looks quite a lot for little me!   Oh good, here’s some help in the shape of a Bear!   Hehe! And I knew a little Pixie would be willing to help out!   C’mon girls, tuck in!   Crumbs! Looks like Pixie doesn’t […]

What! Where are you two off to then? Shhh! Don’t tell Fairy, I’ll just check in here for her secret salad stash!   Hummmph – looks very cosy. Perhaps I’ll just sneak in for a crafty little snoozlet. Oh, there you are Fairy, at last. I was just going to keep it warm for you – […]

Line up, line up . . . form an orderly queue! Oh, ok, let’s just get stuck in then! Nom, nom, nom . . . PIXIE, did you just BURP? No! I am far too polite! Do you like my hay hat . . .  followers of fashion would say it’s fascinating!! It’s seems very […]

Oi (from across the other side of the kitchen) is that OUR tea? It’s just that there appear to be ONIONS in that salad. Mehhhh! Phew! This looks much better! Delightfully onion free I note. Oh yes, mmmm, nom. This will do very nicely – compliments to the chef! And, for some of the more […]

Crikey Bear. Is this . . . it can’t be?! It IS Pixie! We are IN Fairy’s very own legendary super car! You drive, Pixie, I will try to keep these pesky hitch-hiker type Mousies in order. Oh-ho! I knew it was too good to last! Looks like we have another passenger, Bear. I’d like to […]

Hello there my adoring friends – I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, ‘Doesn’t Fairy look Soooooo Sweeeeeet in her cosy, white-dot-on-green-grass-look-a-like wrapper-upper blankie device’! And you are right! I DO look sweet, SO SWEET! ‘Cos it says so! Well anyway, it was nice for you to see me test driving my new […]

Is this our new salad bowl, Daddy? It’s not exactly ‘ample’ is it? It came in a jolly big box though. Hummm, this could be quite useful. Actually, I have just formulated a brilliant and cunning plan, and this box will be ideal for its furtherance. Daddy, we need to discuss this in private, please. Can you […]

Now then my people, what have we here then? Oh yes, I remember! It is almost that time of year to perform spookily scary Halloween type things involving witches hats and pumpkins and, and, and all things orange. Right ho. This year I have two new souls to conjure with. Listen up you two – if you […]

Oooooh, errrr, howdy Fairy Fans. Fairy has decided that the time has come for us budding young starlets to write and star in our very first story – so here goes. Ready Pixie? Ready! Ready Bear? Ready! Roll em! Well I could be wrong, but it looks to me as if it must be nearly […]

My Mummy says patience is a virtue, whatever that is supposed to mean. She has been wait, wait, waiting 15 very odd years for a super dooper bespoke Piggery. Hummmph – that seems like a very long wait indeed, poor Mummy. I suppose you would need to be very patient and very virtuous to wait […]

I have been told to show you the ropes, Pixie. Being a top model myself I know all about posing for the camera, you know. Here we go – SMILE FOR THE CAMERA! Say ‘grass’, Bear! Grass? GRASS? Did someone mention grass? Fairy, where have you hidden the grass? I think Fairy has eaten it […]

Are YOU looking for the perfect pampurring session for your piggy? Look no further. My recently opened Fairy’s Very Posh Piggery Pig Spa offers ALL the very latest in modern spa type beauty treatments – with light lunches and snacks included for VIP’s (Very Important Pigs). To avoid paw stomping disappointment, advance booking is highly advisable. […]

There was great excitement and a good deal of traditional British Pomp & Ceremony at the Piggery today. It was our OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY. We were indeed fortunate to have secured the services of Princess Alice and Dame Rachel to perform the necessaries. Early this morning an exuberant audience gasped in wonder as our royal guests arrive […]

Well hello there my loyal followers. As you will all know by now, I take great pride in my appearance and personal grooming. To maintain the impossibly high standards I have established I rely on only the very best and efficacious products. So it was with great excitement that I opened today’s post and out […]

It is that time of year for our two new arrivals to be introduced to the noble tradition of posing for a Christmas family portrait. Unfortunately, not all Piggies are as co-operative and naturally adept as Fairy! Here’s Bear to explain . . . Oooooo-errrrr, don’t look now – I must be dreaming. Treats keep […]

With Christmas Day only a few short sleeps away – Fairy is in the Piggery, getting very excited.   Hmmmh, let me see now, who is this wonderfully beautiful, hand crafted creation from? I recognise the paw-writing. Oh goodness me – it’s from my favourite ever Princess, Auntie Alice. How clever of her – it’s […]

We three pigs . . . . wish you all a Jolly Christmastide and a very Plumptious New Year! Lots of love and magic from Fairy, Pixie and Bear xxx (oh! And not forgetting our human slaves, Mildred and Ian xxx)  

Hay, Hay, HAY! Quick everybody, WAKE-UP – Santa has been! Come on you lazy piggy type tykes, time to get up . . . NOW! Oh-ho! A special delivery from Daddy-Postie. What’s that tasty looking piece of eminently munchable paper for, Pixie? It’s a Christmas card – and it’s for us, Bear! Oh yes, look. […]

Look! I have taken advantage of the recent abundant snowfall and built my very own snowpig! Yikes! he’s a scary fellow! Let me see . . . hum, very tasty! He smells funny, Pixie! Is he here to stay, do you know, Fairy? NO! He isn’t staying! he couldn’t if he tried. Line up quick, […]

What ever do we need an iron for? Are we expected to iron our own beds, or something, now? Oh well, will you look here . . . Aw! That’s is our beautiful and especially dear Auntie Marigold pictured on there! Now we will never forget her, Pixie and Bear. Not only was she a […]

It’s me, Pixie, here. I am hijacking Fairy’s Blog to send a secret message to some very gorgeous boy piggy boars I know . . . Roses are Red and Violets are Blue But don’t send me those – they will never do. I’d rather have carrots and lots of things green – Send me those, dear, […]

Hello there my adoring Fairy Fans. Today is an even more special day in the Piggery calendar than usual – It’s VALENTINES DAY! I wonder what tokens of everlasting love have winged their way from far flung corners of the globe to my cuddle cup? Judging by all the excitement the postman’s made a delivery!   Errr, […]

Greetings my loyal and faithful followers. We have an extra special cause to celebrate today – apparently. Not only has mummy presented me with a rather splendid vase of smelly and totally inedible flowers (no – I don’t know why either), but we have a visit from a right royal official celebrity type mousie – […]

Hello my darlings. I wonder what unalloyed joys today has in store for me? Oh yes, I remember – I am off to The Palace for an audience with some major Royals. How jolly nice for them!   Good day, ma’am, your ladyship, Princess Anastasia Teacake. Nice place you have here. When do we eat? Oh and […]

Hello there my lovelies. Mummy says it’s Easter – time for another of my splendiferous set-piece photo portrait type heirloom thingies. As it’s Easter Mummy wants us to be all good and colourful and very well behaved – no problems there then! I’ve recruited a clutch of fluffy chicks to make up the numbers. I […]

Oh hello! Has my new three piece been delivered? Good! Oh whooo! It’s lovely and pink, my favourite colour. Now then you two, I will spell this out for you – it says FAIRY, that means ME! This means this is the place where I will sit – not YOU, Bear, or YOU, Pixie, if you don’t […]

Look! A lovely friend made me a jolly special Fairy type dinner bowl, just for ME! It’s very nice, although I have to say it is rather lacking in the snacks department. I am only saying, like. Nom, nom, nom! That’s much better! C’mon Pixie and bear, you can help me test my new bowl! […]

Meet my two very special friends, Mr Bee and Mr Ladybug! You can tell they are special bee-cause they are allowed to sit in my armchairs. Mr Bee is especially useful, he has a jolly comfy lap to sit on . . . he’s the bee-knees. And he does particularly good back scritches, useful when […]

Occasionally someone unexpected appears in The Piggery. Today was one of those days. Hello there. Who are ewe? Wool I never! A curly coated sheep type person has come to stay! She looks all innocent and young. Must be pure new wool. I bet she can spin a good yarn. Just call me Fairy-Curly-Locks. Errr […]

Today is my Very Special day – I am FOUR! Time to don my tiara and get ready for my Birthday Party later on! Bear: Happy Birthday from me and Pixie, Fairy. Pixie: Yes, yes, enough of all that, looks like Daddy has something lined up over yonder. Come on, you two, we have exciting […]

Hello again! I’ve been extra good for almost a whole minute now because . . . IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! A time to celebrate, to rejoice, to let the bells ring loud throughout the land and, and to bring on the pressies! Errrr, that’s a nice snack, thank you Auntie Rachel and Auntie Alice, but it […]

Hello there my lovely followers. What a truly excellent and all super duper type extended Birthday Number Four I am having! Lo and behold it seems there’s another special little parcel arrived for me somewhere. Now where on earth can it be? Oh yes – here it is. I knew that! I has been tastefully […]

Top’o’the morning, friends and all! I expect you think I have been lazing around all summer, snoozing in a shady corner, or enjoying a spot of warm sun on my back. Well, you would be wrong! You have, I am sure, heard of the saying ‘green fingered’, meaning someone is a dab hand with plants […]

  Good day one and all. I have an extra special treat for you today – meet a certain set of neighbourly interlopers, who appeared on the scene yesterday just in time for yours truly to practice my skills with the camera type thingy seeing as mummy can’t control it one-handedly at present (she is […]

You might be forgiven for thinking we’d all gone away for good this summer when actually we were all just very busy indeed. What with lawn-mowing duties, salad growing and testing the outcomes duties, plus all sorts of untold summery type jobs, these last few wheeks have been somewhat hectic. But we are BACK! It’s […]

Here I am again. Would you believe some nosey friends asked my mum recently ‘Where does Fairy sleep’? As if that is anyone’s business but my own. I will tell you anyway, but only if you are nosey enough to read on . . . First off the important bits – getting me fed! This […]

I understand it is traditional to pay a visit to a certain Mr Santa Paws type person at this time of year. My invaluable advice would be to go and see him as soon as possible so you can give him all your special requests nice and early. Although why this request process differs from […]

Can you just hold on a minute while I examine this marvellous card that arrived for moi today? Hehehe! Not only is it for ME, it’s full of ME too – and even a bit of Pixie and Bear as well! Look! There we are, full of festive-ness! Thank you very much indeed, Poppet and […]

Greetings from a fabulously festive Fairyland my loyal and faithful followers. Just so you get an idea of what’s what, it’s almost Christmas. Last year Pixie and Bear were too new and giddy to fully appreciate what a special time this is. Unfortunately, Daddy must have whispered the ‘present’ word within their hearing and so […]

It would appear that The Big Day is nearly upon us – the time when all good little piggies get lots of extra cuddles and lots of love. Much like any other day then! However, there is a catch to this Big Day. Mummy says, that for no good reason I can see, we have […]

Hello there my people – Seasons Greetings from Fairyland on Christmas Day. We WERE going to have a very civilised present opening session this morning. Unfortunately, piggy excitement seems to have displaced patience and decorum! So instead of my usual beautifully written and wonderfully photographed story, we are happy to share some seasonal snaps starring […]

Hello there my loyal and lovely piggy pals. I am delighted you could join us. Today is a very special day in Fairyland. Not only is it New Year’s Eve, but tonight it is also Pixie and Bears’ first ever ‘proper’ hootennany type party – with fancy drinks and nibbles and discovating and guests and, […]

Oh my whiskers! I am in PRINT! My sweet and pretty face is adorning a page or two of this marvellous guide aimed at young ‘uns, telling them what’s what with caring for us V.I.P’s! It is told by Parsley Pig (and written by Briony Isaacs) and features lots of celebratory piggies from all around […]

We all know what today is. No, not Munchday or Chewsday. It’s Valentine’s Day!!! As well as my usual impressively huge heap of splendid cards from secret admirers from all around the world, pledging their troths or some such, plus enough magnificent red roses to stock several well appointed Florist Shops, these rather fetching block […]

Seeing as how I am an internationally renowned superstar and everything, special days are an ideal opportunity for my legions of Fairy Fans to demonstrate their devotion. Doubly appropriate actually as it is Valentine’s Day today! Whooopeeee, and here comes the Postie. Oh, my goodness gracious, a parcel, for me? How VERY unexpected!   Mmmmmmmm […]

It is with the saddest heart I have to write the words we all dread. We have lost our dear, sweet, cuddly Bear. How could it be just a few days ago when I was spring cleaning the Piggery accompanied by a noisy rumbly thundering noise – it was Bear, zooming back and forth, popcorning […]

Now then Pixie my old fruit. Kinda peace-able in these here parts of late. It’s been very quiet – too quiet some would say. Happen there’s a storm blowing in to town. Either that or a double decker bus. Between you, me and the salad bowl, I think there may be a very special delivery […]

We have had to add some new security software to block the several 100’s of spam user registrations we were receiving daily and subsequently this has caused problems for genuine people logging in to leave a comment. We are very sorry about this. We know how frustrating it can be when it becomes more trouble […]

It is with the utmost sadness I am writing to tell you our dear, sweet, beautiful and very magical Fairy passed away this morning. She had a little seizure yesterday morning and fell into a coma soon after. Being Fairy she wasn’t in a hurry to leave her wonderful life but she finally went peacefully […]

Life goes on . . . and it is time for an update. Welcome to the new arrivals! Meet Poppy and Posy – a pair of proper pirate-pigs, into mischief and causing mayhem at every turn! And another new guinea pig joined us recently, Big Bear, in memory of our own beautiful Bear. She is […]

Fairy’s Memorial Stone has arrived – we are so happy with how it looks and it feels good to mark Fairy’s special spot in the garden. Here are the troublesome foursome, in their barrow, heading along to inspect things. Mmmm, smells good. Let’s check all round it first. I like this bit! We ALL like […]

Quick! The camera is here! You do it, Pixie, I’m too small! It seems I have been voted spokes-piggy so, if we may have a drum roll, please . . It gives me great pleasure . . . . . . to announce the arrival of a brand new family member! Freshly delivered yesterday may I […]

It has been a little over a year since Fairy left us. There hasn’t been a day we haven’t thought about her and remembered her funny little ways, the love and joy, and all the magic she brought – not only to us but also to everyone who knew her, far and wide. If you […]

  From left to right, Baby Betty, Young Bertie, Flo, Poppy, Posy (on Santa’s chair), and Pansy (looking for the reindeer!) all wish you much happiness, salad and joy this Christmas-time!

If you have just arrived here unnanounced, a brief introduction may be in order. Fairy, our beautiful, loved and very magical piggy inspired us to create a series of little stories illustrating the wonderful antics in her fun packed life. You will find an index to all her stories here. She gathered many friends along […]

Oooooh, errrr, howdy Fairy Fans. Fairy has decided that the time has come for us budding young starlets to write and star in our very first story – so here goes. Ready Pixie? Ready! Ready Bear? Ready! Roll em! Well I could be wrong, but it looks to me as if it must be nearly […]

Is this our new salad bowl, Daddy? It’s not exactly ‘ample’ is it? It came in a jolly big box though. Hummm, this could be quite useful. Actually, I have just formulated a brilliant and cunning plan, and this box will be ideal for its furtherance. Daddy, we need to discuss this in private, please. Can you […]

Hello there my adoring friends – I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, ‘Doesn’t Fairy look Soooooo Sweeeeeet in her cosy, white-dot-on-green-grass-look-a-like wrapper-upper blankie device’! And you are right! I DO look sweet, SO SWEET! ‘Cos it says so! Well anyway, it was nice for you to see me test driving my new […]

Crikey Bear. Is this . . . it can’t be?! It IS Pixie! We are IN Fairy’s very own legendary super car! You drive, Pixie, I will try to keep these pesky hitch-hiker type Mousies in order. Oh-ho! I knew it was too good to last! Looks like we have another passenger, Bear. I’d like to […]

What! Where are you two off to then? Shhh! Don’t tell Fairy, I’ll just check in here for her secret salad stash!   Hummmph – looks very cosy. Perhaps I’ll just sneak in for a crafty little snoozlet. Oh, there you are Fairy, at last. I was just going to keep it warm for you – […]

Jolly nice salad, chef! Thanks! Hum . . . it all looks quite a lot for little me!   Oh good, here’s some help in the shape of a Bear!   Hehe! And I knew a little Pixie would be willing to help out!   C’mon girls, tuck in!   Crumbs! Looks like Pixie doesn’t […]

Hello – is there room in there for little ‘un? WHAT? ME? PUSH? Oh okay then. what with my mighty strength and magic Fairy-Powers I will soon have this wagon rolling. Heave . . . oh just a grass-picking minute, they must be joking. But don’t worry, we already have a man-powered engine on paw. […]

C’mon you lot! Where are we going, Fairy? This way everyone. Look sharp! Fairy won’t notice me stopping for a wee smackerel! What ARE you doing, Bear? Who has been eating MY snacks? Oh-ho! I WAS spotted! I wasn’t! Good job there’s plenty of grass for everyone. It’s nice here, isn’t it Pixie . . […]

Everything and everyone is ready for off! I am ready too – let’s hit the road! What’s this? We seem to be crossing the border into Scotland. Are we nearly there yet? One hour later . . . Not only are we THERE we are on our way back now – with extra cargo! Hold […]

Whoooo! What’s all this then? And WHO is disturbing my ‘copter-nap? Oh, it’s Dougal . . . and those snow-bright-white-polar BEARS. Keep the noise down. Errr, don’t look now chaps, but Dougal has forgotten to put his white suit on.   Who’s this? Oh not to panic, it’s only daddy.   ‘Come on out, my […]

Our dear Marigold has had some health issues recently. We made the decision (the one we all dread) to let Marigold leave with some dignity on Friday. Her health deteriorated over Thursday night, but she seemed to enjoy her romp at 7am when she and Fairy went into the Piggy Palace where they both always […]

Following a particularly vigorous and rumbustious game of Pirates, peace and tranquility has returned to our holiday idyll. Although with a certain young lady in attendance, albeit briefly.   Oh yes, this all looks very pleasant. I particularly like Marigold’s new bikini. Very fetching indeed.   Enough of all this indolence. It’s high time to […]

Meanwhile – back at the beach.   SQUEAK – Sssssh, keep the noise down chaps and chapesses. We don’t want to rouse the ‘sleeping beauty’ from her slumbers just yet, do we?   Asleep? Moi? Oh no . . . I was just resting my eyes a bit.   Now where was I? Oh yes, […]

SQUEEK – Oh this is the life. A holiday by the sea. Peace, perfect peace. Nothing to do but relax, lots of lovely sun and no one to boss us about. What could possibly disturb this idyllic tranquillity?   Yoo hooooo – Mousies, don’t panic, your beloved Fairy is here. This looks just the spot […]

Right then my adoring fans, after weeks of eager anticipation it’s time to put aside all those brochures and for Mr Bear and me to set off on our jolly holidays. There’s just the small matter of the packing left to do.   So Mr Bear, I hope you have been following my carefully written […]

Greetings my loyal friends and followers. It’s here! The day you have all been looking forward to for simply ages, is HERE! I am THREE today! Yippee and everything. Yes, I am all big and grown up now. I can’t believe my eyes, a jolly big party has been laid on for little ol’ me, […]

Greetings my loyal subjects. Apparently there are lots of Street Parties and everything in the UK today –  are Roads and Motorways invited too? There is also a huge flotilla of boats type pageant extravaganza going on down the River Thames in London town. All this festivity must be to do with MY upcoming Birthday. […]

  Fairy is what is known as a Lethal White Guinea Pig. She basically has a genetic ‘fault’ due to certain breeding conditions. She is blind and deaf and like many LW’s she has problems with her teeth. Because of the way they are formed they require regular trimming as they do not meet and […]

Greetings my people – and welcome to a lovely sunny spot in the garden where I am sure you will all be eagerly awaiting my latest pontifications. So here goes. Many of my loyal followers will be familiar with the term ‘Spring Cleaning’. Although more usually applied to what ones Personal Piggy Palace goes through […]

Good morning my people. I had a dream last night that Summer is finally on it’s way. Time to prepare myself for the beach! I am all signed-up for a very special course Mr Bear is running on how to do something complicated with a folding chair. Sounds a bit barmy to me – but […]

Those of you that read my holiday investigation series a few days ago will know, after careful sizing up the facts and what not, I opted for the Lazy Days Holiday. Having a little snoop around the internet I found this advert for Training Your Deckchair. Get me booked in, Mum! And just in case […]

But Marigold, it MIGHT be MY Birthday. When they were handing out the Birthday-dates, maybe they gave you MY Birthday so that must mean that this Birthday that is yours is actually, more than likely in fact, mine. Why can’t it be MY Birthday? What’s that? I can share YOUR Birthday? Well, that’s just the […]

Well, what do we have here then? It appears to be my very own Piglet-sized Mum and Dad lolling about on the beach with the infamous Great, Great Auntie Mavis pawed with her bucket and spade. Looks like fun! It reminds me it’s time yours truly (that’s ME) should decide where to take my yearly […]

Hello, hello and hello thrice! My eyesight might not be all that spot on . . . but isn’t that a . . .   SQUIRREL getting into MY BED?   I am NOT telling tales, honestly.   You needn’t look at ME like that. And you can stop shaking your bushy tail at me, […]

Hello there my loyal and dedicated Fairy Followers. It won’t have egg-scaped your notice that Easter is upon us and my world famous egg-stravagent generosity towards Mousie type beasties knows no bounds. Here I am delivering  their soufflé doop-fflé Easter Eggs. How egg-citing for them!   Whoooooops – I just performed a wheelie! Quick scramble out of […]

Hummmph – either someone has tidied away the view (Mummy), or someone is trying to sneak up on me. Funnily enough, I have spotted the odd couple of strange ears on the horizon lately. Marigold, have you spotted any stranger than usual going on type things in the ‘strange ears on the horizon’ department recently? […]

The endlessly interesting thing about being surrounded by lots and lots of pesky mousie type babes is – they are very inquisitive critters who are always asking lots of deep and meaningful questions. Mostly concerning cheese it must be said, but occasionally something a little more profound. This morning I was visited by a very earnest young […]

Welcome to Fairy’s Marvellous Magical Marmalade Factory Hello my adoring fans and other people. I’m glad you could join me on this historic day in Fairy’s Fruitery. We have been selected by a very important group of Magical Marmalade big-wigs to be visited by an even more important celebrity type someone for possible inclusion in […]

Daddy is back home, safe and sound and all ready to administer to ME, dishing out his super-cuddles like there’s no tomorrow. AND he brought GIFTS for those deserving of them. That will be ME then . . . . a jolly red bag filled with a Fairy-treat, no doubt. That’s handy! Well, this is […]

My Daddy has left home! Don’t worry, it’s only for two days and while I am not one to complain, much, there are times when I just need a jolly good scritch. Remember these? My patented, shiny new invention was just the job when I was Daddy-less last time. They are just the right pudginess, […]

Squeak! Squeak! Errrrr – Auntie Fairy – it looks like Mummy has forgotten to dust the garden this morning – either that or she’s been baking and has run amok with the icing sugar! Don’t be silly little mousey types – it’s been snowing. Go on, off you go and explore. Wowee – this snow […]

Mummy has been telling me lately that I must be very careful not to get into a Jam – she didn’t say anything about Marmalade though! Ha! Fooled you! I’m not getting all sticky in here, but according to Mummy, it is Marmalade making time! These super-duper oranges are only available early in the year. […]

What’s this then? Hummmph – Looks like someone has written this card all upside-down. Muuuuuuummmy – come quick – can you read upside-down writing???? Oooooooh – this looks like a super hooper dooper Auntie Serena Calender. What a wonderful way to count the days until the Piggolympics Event of The Year  (officially known as the […]

Being a connoisseur of cuddles and ear rubs I wish to present how you too can get the best out of your human. First off, get yourself all comfy and cosy and flopped. In this example I make sure my daddy’s left paw is suitably placed to make a perfect resting place for my front […]

See more of Taj Mahal and his lovely family! Guinea Pig Magazine – out today!

Our beautiful Princess, Mariella, passed away unexpectedly yesterday.   My best friend . . . And bravest passenger . . . My ‘copter-snitcher . . . but I didn’t mind! The best Birthday guest ever! And always there to test the latest ‘topper’ . . . Our Princess . . . September 2009 – January […]

Here’s my 2011 Christmas Quiz. Don’t go expecting any prizes but I WILL KNOW if you manage to finish it and then I will send some invisible Fairy-Magic-Wishes your way! If you need a Piggy-Sized image, then nip over to Flickr!

Oh come all ye faithful (followers)! Joy to the world (of mice) – Fairy is come amongst you! It’s time for my pre-Christmas address to the Fairy type nation. Just a minute! Who are YOU then? Mr Robin? Hum . . . birds don’t eat salad do they? No? Oh well, you can stay seeing […]

Right everyone, get snuggled in. Mummy says it’s not too long to go now before Santa will be nipping down our chimney (why he can’t use the door like everyone else is beyond me!), so we had better start to be all good and everything. That’s it Mariella, get the sherry and mince pie all […]

Ho ho ho and all that festive malarkey! I am really getting into the Christmas spirit and today’s the big day – it’s time to get the jolly old tree up! Looks like Mummy and Daddy have started without me – blooming cheek! Very errr . . . . nice. Lacking a few salad related […]

Oh come all ye faithful, tra la – friends, new callers here for the very first time (and what took you so long, may I ask?) and my best, most Important New Best Friend,  Raj Mahal. It is time to ready ourselves for that special time of the year once again. The day will soon […]

My new Gorgeous Guineas shampoo has arrived just in time for tomorrow’s communal bath. Am I REALLY going to have a bath with Marigold AND Mariella, Mum? Good job we have a BIG BATH is all I can say.

Greetings my people. Fairy here, your very own Plutocratic type business mogul. Welcome to my Extraordinfairy Emergency General and Very Important Meeting. I held a big vote before you all arrived and you will doubtless be relieved to hear that I was elected Chair-Fairy – unanimously. So, let’s get straight on with things and let’s […]

Right-ho my people, grab your Pinnies, we are going to be very busy in the kitchen. Today is officially ‘Stir-Up Sunday’. The day when everyone who’s anyone bakes something tasty in anticipation of that far and distant date, Christmas day. Before I go any further though, I am just a tad concerned you may have […]

Hello Fairy-Followers, Friends and fans! If it is a while since you last deigned to pay a visit then you really need to read my previous missive – Fairy Tries Her Hand At Inventing, it would appear that it has got me noticed by a certain whiskery personage! I have an admirer! Yes, yes I […]

Oh, hello there! I am just having some quality time with my Daddy. Can you just scritch a bit higher Daddy? Down a bit . . . . up a bit! Oooh! That’s really perfect! What a lovely, jolly useful Daddy. What’s that, Daddy? You are going away for a couple of days? Eeeeeeek! WHEN […]

It’s Halloween but don’t worry – there are NO such thing as GHOSTS! And if there was a GHOST? Yikes! I’d get in my magic hat . . . with Mr Bear to protect ME! All this talk of silly ghosties has made me want a cuddle . . . not that I am frightened […]

This post also appears on Guinea Pig Today Fairy: Welcome to ‘Fairy Asks The Big Questions’ and an extra big, piggy-type welcome to my Mummy who has kindly agreed to be interviewed today. Mummy, your life changed on June 11th 2009, can you tell us why? Mildred: I certainly can! That was the day a […]

I am back! I went for a jolly long flight but I am here, safe and sound, on terra firma – well, actually I am perched atop a Quince at this exact moment – Hey, Mum! What are we doing with these Quincey type fruits then? Oh well, I did ask. Looks like my salad, […]

Psst! Mr Bear! There seems to be a . . . new Fairy thingy! Is it pour moi? Wow – look, it’s got WINGS and everything. Is this seat arrangement sufficiently errr, ‘ample’, to accommodate for my furry little behind? Hum . . . at least its got a brake pedal! What’s all that ‘Joystick’ […]

Some of you lucky people who follow my antics on the super-duper Guinea Lynx Forum will recall the recent excitement when I held a little competition to guess how many beds, cosies, hideys and houses and things I had acquired. Here’s how it all came about. Gather round, make yourselves comfy as I announce the […]

Hello . . . . HELLO! Is there anyone out there? I am here – in HERE! I KNOW you can’t SEE me, but I AM here! I am busy right now, being a little Flower-Fairy . . . can you come back later, please . . . Hehehe! That should keep all my viewers […]

You guessed!!!!! For those of you that didn’t (humph!), here’s another little clue. . . .

All clear left! Check the mirror – and we’re off! Toot, TOOT! Watch out everyone, Fairy’s behind the wheel. What a glorious day for a spiffing drive in the country. No canoodling in the back. I’ve got my eye on you two! Now then, before we go any further, I think you ought to know […]

Oh hello. Would you mind keeping the noise down a bit? I am trying to have my nap. I am worn to a furry frazzle. Why? You may well ask. I was up all last night meddling in a certain Minty and Monty Mouses affairs – it is their Wedding Anniversary tomorrow and knowing what […]

We have a problem. In between snacking and snoozing, and snacking a bit more, all I keep hearing are mutterances about the garden. The gist of it is, the long, cold winter killed a load of plants off. Well, it isn’t a problem now! Mum! Look at all these nice new plants I’ve found for […]

As many of my you know, my online friends, the Weaver family in America, recently lost everything when they were hit by a tornado. I can’t put it any better than this Blog post. If you want to help you can send a donation. Every Pound or Dollar will help Marsha, her family and pets. […]

Due to other engagements Fairy and the team couldn’t make the Royal Wedding. They wish the happy couple happiness, health and lots of salad and want to remind you of The Wedding of the Year and the Grand Wedding Reception last year!

What’s this then? And where’s the food, if you don’t mind me asking? Pfhuff! It’s got funny little Fairies here and there, but they are not proper Fairies. We ALL know what a proper Fairy looks like. ‘scuse me! Anyone! What’s this for then? I think there has been a mistake. Oh! OHHHH! LOOK at […]

Help! HELP!! HEEEEEEELP! Let me out NOW – this minute! What’s all that noisy, squeaky fuss about, Marigold? There’s an awful lot of ‘language’ coming from somewhere! There does seem to be rather a lot of noise. Never mind. Lets just ignore it. Look – we are about to get our photo taken. Smile sweetly […]

Ahoy! I say! AHOY THERE! Chocks away! I am going to sail my my beautiful new boat on a voyage across the seas. Errr . . . what do you mean, ‘I have to row’? Isn’t it powered by anything? Well, I’ll soon see about that! That’s it, Marigold – row, row, row the boat, […]

Fairy . . . oh, Fairy! Wakey, wakey! *blows gently on a Fairy-flap* Oh crumbs! What does she want now . . . . fuff and fum! I was just having a nice nap in my brand new, snuggly, buggly, cosy, dozy bed. Oh hello! What! What do you want now . . . Look […]

Hello! What do we have here then . . . is this what I think it is? I DO know what it is, I do, I do, I have just forgotten the word for it . . . anyway, it must be a present for me seeing as it’s landed here, right under my nose. […]

Hello, Fairy here! I have to admit to feeling somewhat muddled today. I keep thinking I am seeing things, it must be my age . . . or lack of food or something. Whatever it is, it is serious – come on, I’ll show you what . . . Here’s WHAT! Look! A small, round, […]

I am just getting a bit of practice in ready for my forthcoming Driving Test. Being the generous little piggy I am, I offered Marigold and Mariella a ride today. Hang on in there, you two! I am just going to get my paw down and go for a bit of a zoom! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Nieooooooooooooooooooow! […]

Peeep! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Look out everyone! Here I come! Brumm-brumm . . . brumm-brumm! Watch out – make way! Am I doing ok, Mum? I like driving – I don’t even think I need driving lessons! It might be a different matter when I get those two back seat drivers in with me though. I […]

Oh! You’ve caught me in the act! I am just undoing another present! It must be for me, what with pink packaging and what-not. It tastes a bit funny. That’s odd! It isn’t an edible gift! Well, let’s be having a sniff under here . . . pfhoof, it smells SHINY! It’s a HAT! Well, […]

Christmas is all over but don’t worry, it’s the New Year now! I hope it brings you health and happiness, cuddles and kisses, salads galore and all good things like that! It is also a time to make something called ‘resolutions’. When you are a small piggy like me, with so much to think about, […]

Ho, Ho and thrice Ho! Fairy here, your internationally renowned spirit of Christmas. Well, just to further illustrate what a selfless little bundle of philanthropic joy I am, I’m throwing a Festive Tea Party for Minty and Monty and the Pesky Mousie Babes so they can all show their appreciation for me and all my […]

SANTA! Here I am, all dressed up and ready for Christmas in my tastefully designed seasonal snuglage ensemble. Speech? SPEECH? Did I hear you say? Oh ok then – you asked for it! (Here I go then, in my best posh regal type accent). Dear readers, followers, fans and what have yous, welcome. Christmas is, […]

Snow, snow and more snow! I expect you thought that is what you would find here today. Well, you were wrong! Nasty cold wet stuff that sticks to my whiskers – brrrr! So instead I am bringing you a little bit of summer. Sit down on a nice comfy chair, put your paws up and […]

This is the life, what ho and all that. I am not sure why Daddy needs BOTH his paws to support me though, I’m not THAT big . . . am I? Did I hear him say his arms are aching, goodness me, whatever next? Humph! Back in my cuddle cup now – mind you, […]

Fairy is well known the world over for her generosity and philanthropic good works. This year she has truly excelled herself! Not only does she feature on the 2011 Guinea Lynx Calendar, a rather fetching portrait as Miss April, enhanced by having the beautiful Marigold on the cover, she is also immensely proud to spearhead […]

As the nights draw in and Fairy’s thoughts turn to ensuring maximum night time comfort and cosiness, The Fairy Palace has taken delivery of a brand new sleep device, guaranteed to provide suitable softiness and snoozability. Here we find our pint sized hero about to embark on its very first test drive – with a […]

My dearly beloved people. You have all been gathered here today, at my great personal inconvenience I might add, to hear the latest of my very important proclamations delivered on my specially commissioned Soapbox. An Announcement of such import that even little ol’ me is getting very excited! Tee hee. Humph, you two have finally […]

Hello loyal friends and dedicated Fairy followers. As if life isn’t scary enough for a sensitive little piggy such as me, my mousey family mentioned that something called Halloween was happening and Halloween meant everything would be ghostly and witchy and scary and pumpkiny and . . . actually, I am not sure where pumpkins […]

It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about. Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it? What does it say on this here […]

Hummph! Has my super sized, snuggly SMUGG boot shrunk? I can’t seem to get in to it properly. Just a minute, there are some kind of furry obstruction type things getting in my way. Fearless Fairy will have to investigate – gulp! Oh I might have known – a pair of Mousies! What on earth […]

I was just having a quiet nose around the house and came across this interesting object. Now what ever can it be? Now then, I might just have a little look into that interesting top bit. Ah, just as I suspected – methinks it looks like a perfect Mariella-free snuggling zone. Onwards and upwards! Can […]

What do we have here then? Looks like a fan has sent me another present – all the way from Germany! It’s a goodly sized box. I wonder what it could be! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be exciting. I hope it’s salad. I have it on very good authority that German salad is […]

Now then my people – let’s see what the weather is going to be like today. If it’s all little fluffy white clouds and gentle cooling breezes, I might initiate the inaugural flight of my brand new, top of the range, super splendiferous Fairycopter. And not a pesky baby mousey in sight! Well, I can’t […]

Right Ho my hearties – it’s time to pose for our annual official portrait picture photo thingy. Try to look stately and imposing Marigold. Just like me. Everyone say “Fairy”! Mummy wanted us to squeeze together a bit. Fufff. Trust Mariella to take things too far. And I do not need a comb-over type toupee […]

What ho! I may be able to fly a carrot through the wide blue skies and beyond – but who would have thought that a real life wooden pig might fly too? Just give me two ticks while I get cleared for take off and locate the accelerator pedal thingy, and check the horn – […]

We find our pals busily sitting around happily doing nothing – but all is not as it seems.  There is a simmering mood of discontent coming inexorably to the boil, emanating from the hairy occupant of the cheese chair. Hummph, Hummmph and thrice Hummmmph! What ails you sweet Fairy? You don’t appear to be your […]

Recently, Fairy took her big sisters for a spin on her Magic Carrotty-Comfort-Cushion, which also doubles as a disguised spaceship! Fairy: C’mon everyone, all aboard! Fasten your seat-belts, if they will reach! We’ll have to hurry, it looks like rain. Hold on tight . . . here we go . . . . *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnooou* make […]

. . . earlier today in the Thatched Cottage Garden . . . What’s that orange thing over there, Petunia? I don’t know, Marmaduke. Maybe it has been sent here by a vastly superior intelligence from a galaxy far, far away. Either that or the local supermarket’s delivery service has got the order wrong again! […]

Marigold: Mum said ‘no tea’ and to sit still and behave! Look, she’s got that black box with the funny lens thing again! Marigold: Look over there though, there’s that nice sweetcorn mine . . . . Fairy: Marigold, behave and look at the camera thingy. Mariella: Yes, it looks yummy. I am partial to […]

Being a faithful Fairy follower, you will already know that I am well known for being exceptionally fond of my food. I find that when one isn’t actively engaged in the process of eating then reading all about it is the very next best thing. These quaint old salad recipes are making my mouth water. […]

I know what you are thinking – how could Fairy possibly leave all that spare lovely bright shiny sweet corn leaf treasure behind? Well – she didn’t! Just after the last photo was taken . . . Mummy – can you come quickly? Oh, and bring lots of carrier bags with you please! A few […]

Nanny Fairy here people, my good works and kindnesses to bestow. Minty and Monty wanted a quiet day out together today, probably to get me a big prize or plan a huge surprise party for me or something of that me-centred nature. I, of course, volunteered to look after all the baby mices for them. […]

Everyone knows what a busy little bee I am, but my absolute favourite job has to be sending out parcels to my friends! Wrapping up a pressie in my own special logo-ed tissue paper, adding a personalised card and not forgetting a liberal sprinkle of special Fairy Magic and then imagining the parcel speeding off […]

I didn’t know the new babies would be such hard work, Monty. I am just about at my tails end trying to cope with everything. I haven’t slept in nights! They don’t give me a moment’s peace – look at them! It’s bedtime now and they simply won’t settle down and go to sleep! Don’t […]

Now then, settle down you two. You’ve been pacing about like a cat on a hot . . . oops, sorry about the indelicate feline reference there. No offence! Everything comes to those who wait – including the Postman. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong* Oh-ho. Is that the doorbell? That’ll be him […]

That grass growing experiment we did recently went very well. The only problem being that there wasn’t quite enough to grow round, so to speak. Actually, there might well have been if Mariella had been put on a strict diet. I know, I was the only one who thought she should be on one! Anyway, […]

Righty ho. This looks like the perfect spot to show off my horticultural expertise. Just need to get all my equipment spread out. These little plastic pots are just the ticket! Now then, you two can be my Posse. Pay close attention, look photogenic and don’t forget to make me look good. Don’t say too […]

Hello my people. I am often asked by someone, what is the ideal number of piggy’s in a household? Well, we were given a present of this super-dooper, attractive sign thing by my piggy-daddy, Ernie, the other day. And, by jingo, it’s just the job for helping me to answer that very important question. Take […]

C’mon you two, we’re moving lawns! Look, the grass is greener over yonder! Pack your cuddle cups and snoozing bags, and bring plenty of nourishing snacks for the journey. We’d better get topped up, Marigold, Fairy usually knows what she is munching about . . . . nom, nom, nom. I don’t know why we […]

Dear The Manager, The Grow-It-Yourself-Grass Company, It is Fairy here again. I recently had the privilege of sampling a tray of your delicious grass, and very good it was too. However, before I could even enjoy it for a second time, my so called loving sisters managed to sneak in and gobble up every last […]

G’day my people! I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important. I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one! Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see […]

It is a lovely warm Sunday afternoon and the sun is shining. There is a light cooling breeze to gently ruffle my silky fur as I sit here snacking on my Grow-It-Yourself-Grass. Life is truly wonderful! Now, where was I? Oh yes – nom, nom, nom . . . Humm, now, where are those two […]

It may not have escaped the more astute followers of my Blog that Marigold and Mariella, my half sisters, are rather more ‘traditionally built’ than my svelte, lithe self. This is due the the vast quantities of salad they consume. As well as their regular meals – breakfast, mid morning snacks, late morning snacks, lunch, […]

I received lots of lovely gifts for my Birthday the other day but one in particular was most welcome: Grow-it-yourself Grass! Our good friends at Gorgeous Guineas sent me a bag of magical seed things which Daddy planted for me. We watered them every day and now look! Lots of yummy, tall, extra fresh tasting […]

As you know, I am a hay fever sufferer. It isn’t very nice when your dose gets all blocked up or you start sneezing everywhere. I am only allowed to go in the garden in the evening at present, when the pollen is a little less troublesome. Here I am examining the flowers last night. […]

The newly weds have been spending time relaxing in their brand new rented apartment in London. It is Japanese style! Meanwhile Peregrine and Pandora are busy decorating Minty and Monty’s new home, with a little help from Fairy of course. Come along Peregrine, you will have to brush-up your technique – you’ve missed a bit! […]

Thank you everyone for all your lovely Birthday Wishes, cards, gifts and salad – especially salad! I had a wonderful Birthday and love being ONE. Why can’t it be a brilliant birthday day every day? I didn’t have a traditional party as such with balloons and streamers and jelly being as I was a little […]

Fairy is ONE today! And look who are here! The love struck mice have returned from their Honeymoon – and just in time. It looks as though Fairy has a big pile of cards and presents, Minty! I can’t wait to see her face when she knows we have come home from our honeymoon especially […]

As I have some film left in the camera, due to having to dash back unexpectedly from ‘our’ honeymoon, I have decided to take you on a special guided tour round a bit of my garden. First stop is our Clubhouse. It is fitted out with a gigantic fridge, containing the worlds largest Salad Crisper […]

We have had such a lovely honeymoon. I have kept an eye on the newly weds and we have gone everywhere together. I will be sending more pics soon so everyone can see what we’ve been up to. However, it seems we are returning home a bit early though, ready for my Big Birthday on […]

As you know, I am accompanying Minty and Monty on their honeymoon. I am taking the important role of Chief Photographer and Reporter. ! I knew I would come in useful. Here are the happy couple! Minty and Monty have packed their bag and are off on the holiday of a lifetime! Smile, say ‘cheese’! […]

This is especially for you, AliMouse. When Fairy was very small she soon found the comfiest places to snooze. One of those was in the protective arms of Pasquale, the bear. She had no idea how tiny she appeared – and how sweet! Here she is at about 10 weeks of age. You can imagine […]

It has been an exciting morning for everyone seeing the lovely Araminta and Montmorency tie the knot! Now we join the guests as they assemble in Fairy’s garden for the wedding reception this afternoon. Here they are, tucking into their buffet, toasting the happy couple, and discussing the bride’s mother’s hat! And here’s Fairy to […]

Welcome to the wedding of Fairy’s close friend, the beautiful international model Araminta Mouse, to the esteemed Mouse about town Montmorency Mouse. It seems like yesterday that Fairy played matchmaker, accompanying the pair on their very first date, going along to make sure Minty didn’t forget the chocolates on Valentine’s Day,  and being there at […]

The wedding preparations are well under way. Fairy has done an outstanding job as ‘event organizer’, planning everything with meticulous attention down to the last detail. We expect the big day to go without a hitch! This morning Fairy went for a wander round the garden in search of suitable flowers. Wow! Look at these […]

Minty and Monty are getting married! What promises to be THE wedding of the year will take place on Friday, 28th of May. After a long engagement, in mouse terms, of almost 3 months, the couple have decided to tie the knot! Fairy has been a great help planning and organising the wedding as well […]

Hello! I am over here! In amongst the daisies – they are white, just like me, and almost as pretty! They smell lovely but I know they are not edible! They are very comfy to sit on. I think I may just take a nap.

*Fairy shouting* Errr, ‘scuse me . . . I’m over here! Everything in the garden is so big! Even with Marigold and Mariella’s help, I will not be able to eat this huge carrot. And just look at Big Wilma! Did you ever see such a big guinea pig? I am down here now. Squirrel […]

Sunny day. Guineas on the lawn. And this is what they get up to! Hello, Marigold, are you coming with me? I am going exploring. C’mon you two, keep up! Humph – this is a bit of a dead end! Shhhh, I am going to sneak over here now . . . . . . […]

Fairy accompanied Minty and Monty to the local soft furnishings store, ‘Sew Mouse’, yesterday. With her impeccable taste Minty is keen to to find the finest linens and fabrics to be made into curtains and such like for their stylish new home. Here we are then! An abundance of gorgeous fabrics. Looks like we could […]

Have you looked at the hedge in your garden recently and thought how characterless and unexciting it looks? A monotonous stretch of repetitious green – if you are lucky! Many garden hedges are threadbare and unkempt. Regular. Conventional. A barrier between your garden and your neighbour. Boring, dull, lifeless! Functional, unexceptional, middling and ‘hedge-like! What […]

Fairy enjoys very deep, satisfying sleeps! Her ears can be seen twitching, her toes jigging and she makes tiny little squeak noises – I always hope she is having a nice dream and not a nightmare. Errr, where am I then? It feels as though I am on another planet. The ground is all hard […]

Big Birthdays are not so bad after all! I am having a really wonderful day – on this my BIG Birthday! Lots of beautiful cards, surprise presents and yummy scrummy things to eat. I have received lots of Happy Birthday wishes from people I have never met but who I am proud to call friends. […]

I love Birthdays! Other peoples that is, not my own and especially NOT those BIG ones! I have one of ‘those’ tomorrow. Fairy has a really big, special Birthday coming up. Her Birthday is on June 11th, she will be one. Fairy has decided she doesn’t want any presents and any cash she receives is […]

Another Mouse Tale today. You can follow this ongoing story starring Fairy and her friends, Minty and Monty, as well as other magical characters, by going to the Index page and selecting the Blog Posts from the Mouse Tales Category list. The Tales are also to be found in HELLO! Fairy magazine and the Special […]

Fairy has always enjoyed being cuddled and enjoys many hours asleep nestling in her Daddy’s hands! Being blind and deaf has its compensations – there’s nothing to distract you. So once you are in a warm, safe and comfortable snuggle, it is easy to nod off. Before last Christmas, Fairy proclaimed Pasquale Bear as officially […]

Fairy is weighed regularly to ensure she is maintaining a healthy weight and not loosing any of those precious grams. With any guinea pig weight loss is a cause for worry, but with Fairy being very small at 680g, around half the size of a standard piggy, I would be doubly concerned – especially knowing […]

Mariella joined us in October 2009. A teeny squiff of baby guinea pig, with the biggest round eyes and squidgiest nose you ever did see! Mariella is stunningly beautiful, wearing her gorgeous black, tan and white fur like some glamour model! She has a bold character to match! Mariella marched straight in through the door, […]

Although May 1st was beautifully warm and sunny, today it is decidedly chilly here in our part of the UK. Fairy is safely snuggled up in her favourite Cuddle Cup enjoying a relaxing afternoon nap in the warm kitchen. I have just returned from a brisk walk down the lane for ‘grass collecting’ purposes – […]

Fairy really appreciates how lucky she is to have a happy, loving home here with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella. She enjoys top quality Guinea Pig food, has a beautiful bedroom, gym, playroom and garden. She has a personal specialist healthcare advisor and dentist. She has regular baths, cuddles, ear rubs and chin tickles. Her […]

Fairy is very good at posing for the camera. She is a consummate professional  – keeping still, applying just the right expression to suit the scene, she could not be more cooperative. She seems to know exactly what is expected of her and provides it willingly! Seeing her posing for the camera and taking into […]

Christmas was a very special time for Fairy. Not only was it her first Christmas ever, it was also a time of giving of gifts and receiving surprise presents in return! The highlight of her day was Christmas Dinner. Mr Bear joined Fairy for a not quite traditional meal. Oh yummy! Look at my Christmas […]

Although, like most guinea pigs, Fairy’s favourite pastime is eating she is also very aware of the importance of exercise. And what could be better than combining the two! Fairy’s little hay tin contains some chopped ‘special blend’ hay. Each ‘Push Up’ results in a small treat! The perfect combination! What a great game!

Fairy took Minty to choose her wedding dress the other day. Plans are well under way for ‘The Wedding Of The Year’. The invitations will be in the post any day – look out for yours! Here’s Fairy to take us through the proceedings. Morning, Mr Bear. It is so kind of you to offer […]

Fairy is usually a very clean piggy but occasionally she gets ‘kebab toes’. Grubby little paws from paddling though ‘unmentionables’. If she washes herself with these ‘gloves’ she resembles a tiger with her pig-made stripes. Very un-Fairy-like! It isn’t quite as pleasant cuddling a piggy with grubby toes and stripy fur – especially if she […]

It has been a very long winter. Five months of what seemed like perpetual cold, wet and windy weather. According to the experts however, this weekend promises to be the warmest of the year so far! A mini heat wave no less! Good! The gang (piggy and people alike) can’t wait to get back to […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Brillo, her mum, was among five guinea pigs we rescued from an intolerable situation. She gave birth to 3 babies, Fairy, Flash and Jiff, a little boy piggy. It didn’t take long to realise Fairy was blind and a few days after that it was apparent she had […]

Like most guineas Fairy likes to feel the warm sun on her fur! Front AND back! It’s lovely! It is nice to sit out with your friends too. Even if you can’t go out, it is good to know the sun is shining! It warms your whiskers . . . . . . and makes […]

A glorious Spring day and Fairy and her pals are off on a picnic! C’mon you lot, it’s time to get out! Well, it seems Pandora and Peregrine, Minty’s Brother, are getting along fine and dandy. It’s nice here, isn’t it? Lovely place to enjoy a spot of sunbathing. What a marvellous hat, Monty! I […]

Now then you two, I’m glad you could come over today – we are going to bake a cake. I like your pinny, Minty, just the job! Let’s get on then, it will be a certain person’s Birthday soon, so you need to know what to do. This IS going to be fun! Now, where […]

Although Minty and Monty have a comprehensive Wedding Gift List, they have anjoyed going on a spending spree recently. Selecting home furnishings has been a thoroughly exciting experience for the trio! Nice cooker, Minty! Snazzy carpet, it will be just right. A lovely bed! A little door mat to wipe my paws on! Some nifty […]

Now that Minty and Monty are engaged they are eagerly looking for a mouse house to start their married life in. Fairy has located a helpful Estate Agent to show them some suitable – or should that be UNsuitable – homes! Hello! It looks as though there are plenty of homes for sale! I don’t […]

Pigidges, in London’s Hayfur, was the venue chosen by Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse for a recent sumptuous dinner to celebrate the engagement of their daughter Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. Celebrated Chef Mark De’Salad, along with Sous-chef Loader Von Trap, created a special Commemorative Menu for the honoured guests. Perusing the very posh a la carte […]

‘It is a dream come true,’ exclaimed a breathless Araminta Mouse as she left The Eatalotto Ice Cream Parlour, arm in arm with her beau, Montmorency Mouse. ‘Oh, I was simply amazed when I spotted the huge sparkly diamond ring in the ice cream sundae! I thought I was going to faint!’ Hello everyone! I […]

The girls got some new beds and huts recently. A perfect sunny day to sit out and enjoy their comfiness! Look at meeeeee! Peep-oh Mariella! Fairy doesn’t mind sharing.

The guest beds are ready! Fairy has two very special friends coming to stay for a sleepover tonight. Can you guess who they might be? She has accepted the task of acting as their chaperone. What a responsibility! After a tasty supper and a romp round the garden to try and tire out her little […]

Fairy likes to keep herself ‘whiter than white’ and takes her beauty routine very seriously. She enjoys a bath every week or so, has her nails carefully trimmed every 2 weeks, gets weighed regularly, and generally enjoys a healthy lifestyle, with plenty of exercise, fresh salad and vegetables, top quality hay, and daily cuddles! Here’s […]

Fairy published her very own magazine recently. Hello! Piggy is packed with all the latest celebrity mouse gossip as well as hints and tips, interviews and product tests! Many of the posts from Fairy’s Blog can be found among its pages as well as plenty of new ‘goings on’. Enjoy it! It is available as […]

Ernie, Fairy’s Dad, visited a few weeks ago. He brought a beautiful gift for Fairy, a Special Salad Plate created by Ernie’s mum and dad especially for Fairy! Fairy couldn’t wait to test it out. This is the handsome Ernie. And Fairy examining her new plate! Here it is, loaded up with fresh salad! Is […]

The Rt Hon Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse were delighted to be introduced to Araminta’s latest beau Montmorency Mouse, at a recent ‘at home’ held in their tasteful drawing room at the sumptuous and well appointed Plantagenet House, in London. Primrose looked splendid in her up to the minute fashionable gingham check pinafore dress, toning red […]

As we all know, Guinea Pigs eat a lot of hay. Indeed, it should be available at all times so they can graze throughout the day. Fairy has a particular way of enjoying her hay. As well as eating it she likes to burrow into it, enjoying the sensation of the hay tickling her back! […]

Araminta, Montmorency Mouse, Fairy, with Mr Bear at the helm, kept as cool as cucumbers as their treasure was swept overboard by a giant wave. It’s a lovely day for a boat trip, you are very kind to invite us, Mr Bear. This is the first time Araminta and Montmorency have been on a boat. […]

The Front Page speaks for itself! Full report to follow soon.

We lost our dear Matilda earlier this year. Anyone who has lost a much loved pet will know the sadness and emotions you feel. It is very hard and you cry and want them back, and you try to be happy for their lovely life they had with you. A lovely friend’s husband painted this […]

Minty and Monty join Fairy in the kitchen to do some baking. Hello there! We are going to bake some cakes today. Haha! I like those chefs hats – just the ticket! Oops! You don’t want that in there, Minty, let me take care of it. You are doing a grand job! Hum, that flour […]

Fairy’s many fans were thrilled to attend the awards ceremony following her success at the Piggy Of The Year Show! She was awarded the coveted Silver Salad Bowl and made a rousing speech afterwards! The event hit the headlines in the newspaper! Watch Fairy’s video of her winning round on YouTube.

Fairy invited Minty and Monty to stay over following their Romantic Dinner Date on St Valentine’s Day. Here they are on Sunday morning, relaxing on their bean bags, discussing the date, the food and, no doubt, their next date! You looked to be enjoying yourself last night, Minty. Maybe we can go on another date […]

After their date at the Cinema, Minty and Monty got together again – on St Valentine’s Day! Picture the scene – a romantic dinner for two at a posh restaurant, the lights are low, the music is playing softly. What could possibly go wrong? Err! Don’t mind me, you two. Carry on, you won’t even […]

Following on from the Girls’ Night In now, where Fairy promised to introduce Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. So THIS is where Fairy took them on their Blind Date!

Fairy, doing what she does best . . . . . . eating and posing! And . . . . washing her nose. And exploring! And checking. And eating some more!

This is nice, Minty. Our favourite tunes on the radio and some good books to share! This one has some handy hints about the latest fashions! What do you mean, ‘You don’t have anywhere to wear your nice things? Don’t you have a mousefriend? Hum, let me see, I’ll just have a look in my […]

In September Fairy had some friends over to join her for an pignic. Here she is with her friend Ginny enjoying some salad snacks. Ginny is 6 years old and is just about the cuddliest piggy I have ever cuddled! And with Baby-Maybe. She lives with Ginny. She was one of the beautiful guinea pigs […]

Fairy’s close friend, Araminta, is up from London for a few days. The girls love to get together for a natter now and then. I like your red spotty top, Minty. Muum! Can I get something red and spotty please? Hum . . . Minty is so pretty, I wonder if she has a boyfriend […]

Fairy’s friend, Montmorency Mouse, has been in an accident. The ever thoughtful Fairy pays him a visit. Delivering a big bunch of hay which, she is sure, will help Monty to get better. She also made a Get Well card for him! See Fairy passing the card to Monty in this short film. A few […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Her mum, Brillo, was a ‘rescue piggy’, taken from an unpleasant situation, along with her many assorted brothers, sisters and other relations. Here’s her Dad, Ernie! Fairy was a very small piggy. As well as being blind and deaf she also had many problems with her teeth. Her […]

I would like to introduce Fairy’s Blog with an inaugural photo tribute. A Fairy was born . . . It was obvious Fairy was going to be exceedingly fond of food . . . She likes her salads to be tidy! Lead on, Fairy! A family outing . . . Room for a little one! Fairy’s new […]

If you have just arrived here unnanounced, a brief introduction may be in order. Fairy, our beautiful, loved and very magical piggy inspired us to create a series of little stories illustrating the wonderful antics in her fun packed life. You will find an index to all her stories here. She gathered many friends along […]

  From left to right, Baby Betty, Young Bertie, Flo, Poppy, Posy (on Santa’s chair), and Pansy (looking for the reindeer!) all wish you much happiness, salad and joy this Christmas-time!

It has been a little over a year since Fairy left us. There hasn’t been a day we haven’t thought about her and remembered her funny little ways, the love and joy, and all the magic she brought – not only to us but also to everyone who knew her, far and wide. If you […]

Quick! The camera is here! You do it, Pixie, I’m too small! It seems I have been voted spokes-piggy so, if we may have a drum roll, please . . It gives me great pleasure . . . . . . to announce the arrival of a brand new family member! Freshly delivered yesterday may I […]

Fairy’s Memorial Stone has arrived – we are so happy with how it looks and it feels good to mark Fairy’s special spot in the garden. Here are the troublesome foursome, in their barrow, heading along to inspect things. Mmmm, smells good. Let’s check all round it first. I like this bit! We ALL like […]

Life goes on . . . and it is time for an update. Welcome to the new arrivals! Meet Poppy and Posy – a pair of proper pirate-pigs, into mischief and causing mayhem at every turn! And another new guinea pig joined us recently, Big Bear, in memory of our own beautiful Bear. She is […]

It is with the utmost sadness I am writing to tell you our dear, sweet, beautiful and very magical Fairy passed away this morning. She had a little seizure yesterday morning and fell into a coma soon after. Being Fairy she wasn’t in a hurry to leave her wonderful life but she finally went peacefully […]

We have had to add some new security software to block the several 100’s of spam user registrations we were receiving daily and subsequently this has caused problems for genuine people logging in to leave a comment. We are very sorry about this. We know how frustrating it can be when it becomes more trouble […]

Now then Pixie my old fruit. Kinda peace-able in these here parts of late. It’s been very quiet – too quiet some would say. Happen there’s a storm blowing in to town. Either that or a double decker bus. Between you, me and the salad bowl, I think there may be a very special delivery […]

It is with the saddest heart I have to write the words we all dread. We have lost our dear, sweet, cuddly Bear. How could it be just a few days ago when I was spring cleaning the Piggery accompanied by a noisy rumbly thundering noise – it was Bear, zooming back and forth, popcorning […]

Seeing as how I am an internationally renowned superstar and everything, special days are an ideal opportunity for my legions of Fairy Fans to demonstrate their devotion. Doubly appropriate actually as it is Valentine’s Day today! Whooopeeee, and here comes the Postie. Oh, my goodness gracious, a parcel, for me? How VERY unexpected!   Mmmmmmmm […]

We all know what today is. No, not Munchday or Chewsday. It’s Valentine’s Day!!! As well as my usual impressively huge heap of splendid cards from secret admirers from all around the world, pledging their troths or some such, plus enough magnificent red roses to stock several well appointed Florist Shops, these rather fetching block […]

Oh my whiskers! I am in PRINT! My sweet and pretty face is adorning a page or two of this marvellous guide aimed at young ‘uns, telling them what’s what with caring for us V.I.P’s! It is told by Parsley Pig (and written by Briony Isaacs) and features lots of celebratory piggies from all around […]

Hello there my loyal and lovely piggy pals. I am delighted you could join us. Today is a very special day in Fairyland. Not only is it New Year’s Eve, but tonight it is also Pixie and Bears’ first ever ‘proper’ hootennany type party – with fancy drinks and nibbles and discovating and guests and, […]

Hello there my people – Seasons Greetings from Fairyland on Christmas Day. We WERE going to have a very civilised present opening session this morning. Unfortunately, piggy excitement seems to have displaced patience and decorum! So instead of my usual beautifully written and wonderfully photographed story, we are happy to share some seasonal snaps starring […]

It would appear that The Big Day is nearly upon us – the time when all good little piggies get lots of extra cuddles and lots of love. Much like any other day then! However, there is a catch to this Big Day. Mummy says, that for no good reason I can see, we have […]

Greetings from a fabulously festive Fairyland my loyal and faithful followers. Just so you get an idea of what’s what, it’s almost Christmas. Last year Pixie and Bear were too new and giddy to fully appreciate what a special time this is. Unfortunately, Daddy must have whispered the ‘present’ word within their hearing and so […]

Can you just hold on a minute while I examine this marvellous card that arrived for moi today? Hehehe! Not only is it for ME, it’s full of ME too – and even a bit of Pixie and Bear as well! Look! There we are, full of festive-ness! Thank you very much indeed, Poppet and […]

I understand it is traditional to pay a visit to a certain Mr Santa Paws type person at this time of year. My invaluable advice would be to go and see him as soon as possible so you can give him all your special requests nice and early. Although why this request process differs from […]

Here I am again. Would you believe some nosey friends asked my mum recently ‘Where does Fairy sleep’? As if that is anyone’s business but my own. I will tell you anyway, but only if you are nosey enough to read on . . . First off the important bits – getting me fed! This […]

You might be forgiven for thinking we’d all gone away for good this summer when actually we were all just very busy indeed. What with lawn-mowing duties, salad growing and testing the outcomes duties, plus all sorts of untold summery type jobs, these last few wheeks have been somewhat hectic. But we are BACK! It’s […]

  Good day one and all. I have an extra special treat for you today – meet a certain set of neighbourly interlopers, who appeared on the scene yesterday just in time for yours truly to practice my skills with the camera type thingy seeing as mummy can’t control it one-handedly at present (she is […]

Top’o’the morning, friends and all! I expect you think I have been lazing around all summer, snoozing in a shady corner, or enjoying a spot of warm sun on my back. Well, you would be wrong! You have, I am sure, heard of the saying ‘green fingered’, meaning someone is a dab hand with plants […]

Hello there my lovely followers. What a truly excellent and all super duper type extended Birthday Number Four I am having! Lo and behold it seems there’s another special little parcel arrived for me somewhere. Now where on earth can it be? Oh yes – here it is. I knew that! I has been tastefully […]

Hello again! I’ve been extra good for almost a whole minute now because . . . IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! A time to celebrate, to rejoice, to let the bells ring loud throughout the land and, and to bring on the pressies! Errrr, that’s a nice snack, thank you Auntie Rachel and Auntie Alice, but it […]

Today is my Very Special day – I am FOUR! Time to don my tiara and get ready for my Birthday Party later on! Bear: Happy Birthday from me and Pixie, Fairy. Pixie: Yes, yes, enough of all that, looks like Daddy has something lined up over yonder. Come on, you two, we have exciting […]

Occasionally someone unexpected appears in The Piggery. Today was one of those days. Hello there. Who are ewe? Wool I never! A curly coated sheep type person has come to stay! She looks all innocent and young. Must be pure new wool. I bet she can spin a good yarn. Just call me Fairy-Curly-Locks. Errr […]

Meet my two very special friends, Mr Bee and Mr Ladybug! You can tell they are special bee-cause they are allowed to sit in my armchairs. Mr Bee is especially useful, he has a jolly comfy lap to sit on . . . he’s the bee-knees. And he does particularly good back scritches, useful when […]

Look! A lovely friend made me a jolly special Fairy type dinner bowl, just for ME! It’s very nice, although I have to say it is rather lacking in the snacks department. I am only saying, like. Nom, nom, nom! That’s much better! C’mon Pixie and bear, you can help me test my new bowl! […]

Oh hello! Has my new three piece been delivered? Good! Oh whooo! It’s lovely and pink, my favourite colour. Now then you two, I will spell this out for you – it says FAIRY, that means ME! This means this is the place where I will sit – not YOU, Bear, or YOU, Pixie, if you don’t […]

Hello there my lovelies. Mummy says it’s Easter – time for another of my splendiferous set-piece photo portrait type heirloom thingies. As it’s Easter Mummy wants us to be all good and colourful and very well behaved – no problems there then! I’ve recruited a clutch of fluffy chicks to make up the numbers. I […]

Hello my darlings. I wonder what unalloyed joys today has in store for me? Oh yes, I remember – I am off to The Palace for an audience with some major Royals. How jolly nice for them!   Good day, ma’am, your ladyship, Princess Anastasia Teacake. Nice place you have here. When do we eat? Oh and […]

Greetings my loyal and faithful followers. We have an extra special cause to celebrate today – apparently. Not only has mummy presented me with a rather splendid vase of smelly and totally inedible flowers (no – I don’t know why either), but we have a visit from a right royal official celebrity type mousie – […]

Hello there my adoring Fairy Fans. Today is an even more special day in the Piggery calendar than usual – It’s VALENTINES DAY! I wonder what tokens of everlasting love have winged their way from far flung corners of the globe to my cuddle cup? Judging by all the excitement the postman’s made a delivery!   Errr, […]

It’s me, Pixie, here. I am hijacking Fairy’s Blog to send a secret message to some very gorgeous boy piggy boars I know . . . Roses are Red and Violets are Blue But don’t send me those – they will never do. I’d rather have carrots and lots of things green – Send me those, dear, […]

What ever do we need an iron for? Are we expected to iron our own beds, or something, now? Oh well, will you look here . . . Aw! That’s is our beautiful and especially dear Auntie Marigold pictured on there! Now we will never forget her, Pixie and Bear. Not only was she a […]

Look! I have taken advantage of the recent abundant snowfall and built my very own snowpig! Yikes! he’s a scary fellow! Let me see . . . hum, very tasty! He smells funny, Pixie! Is he here to stay, do you know, Fairy? NO! He isn’t staying! he couldn’t if he tried. Line up quick, […]

Hay, Hay, HAY! Quick everybody, WAKE-UP – Santa has been! Come on you lazy piggy type tykes, time to get up . . . NOW! Oh-ho! A special delivery from Daddy-Postie. What’s that tasty looking piece of eminently munchable paper for, Pixie? It’s a Christmas card – and it’s for us, Bear! Oh yes, look. […]

We three pigs . . . . wish you all a Jolly Christmastide and a very Plumptious New Year! Lots of love and magic from Fairy, Pixie and Bear xxx (oh! And not forgetting our human slaves, Mildred and Ian xxx)  

With Christmas Day only a few short sleeps away – Fairy is in the Piggery, getting very excited.   Hmmmh, let me see now, who is this wonderfully beautiful, hand crafted creation from? I recognise the paw-writing. Oh goodness me – it’s from my favourite ever Princess, Auntie Alice. How clever of her – it’s […]

It is that time of year for our two new arrivals to be introduced to the noble tradition of posing for a Christmas family portrait. Unfortunately, not all Piggies are as co-operative and naturally adept as Fairy! Here’s Bear to explain . . . Oooooo-errrrr, don’t look now – I must be dreaming. Treats keep […]

Well hello there my loyal followers. As you will all know by now, I take great pride in my appearance and personal grooming. To maintain the impossibly high standards I have established I rely on only the very best and efficacious products. So it was with great excitement that I opened today’s post and out […]

There was great excitement and a good deal of traditional British Pomp & Ceremony at the Piggery today. It was our OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY. We were indeed fortunate to have secured the services of Princess Alice and Dame Rachel to perform the necessaries. Early this morning an exuberant audience gasped in wonder as our royal guests arrive […]

Are YOU looking for the perfect pampurring session for your piggy? Look no further. My recently opened Fairy’s Very Posh Piggery Pig Spa offers ALL the very latest in modern spa type beauty treatments – with light lunches and snacks included for VIP’s (Very Important Pigs). To avoid paw stomping disappointment, advance booking is highly advisable. […]

I have been told to show you the ropes, Pixie. Being a top model myself I know all about posing for the camera, you know. Here we go – SMILE FOR THE CAMERA! Say ‘grass’, Bear! Grass? GRASS? Did someone mention grass? Fairy, where have you hidden the grass? I think Fairy has eaten it […]

My Mummy says patience is a virtue, whatever that is supposed to mean. She has been wait, wait, waiting 15 very odd years for a super dooper bespoke Piggery. Hummmph – that seems like a very long wait indeed, poor Mummy. I suppose you would need to be very patient and very virtuous to wait […]

Oooooh, errrr, howdy Fairy Fans. Fairy has decided that the time has come for us budding young starlets to write and star in our very first story – so here goes. Ready Pixie? Ready! Ready Bear? Ready! Roll em! Well I could be wrong, but it looks to me as if it must be nearly […]

Now then my people, what have we here then? Oh yes, I remember! It is almost that time of year to perform spookily scary Halloween type things involving witches hats and pumpkins and, and, and all things orange. Right ho. This year I have two new souls to conjure with. Listen up you two – if you […]

Is this our new salad bowl, Daddy? It’s not exactly ‘ample’ is it? It came in a jolly big box though. Hummm, this could be quite useful. Actually, I have just formulated a brilliant and cunning plan, and this box will be ideal for its furtherance. Daddy, we need to discuss this in private, please. Can you […]

Hello there my adoring friends – I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, ‘Doesn’t Fairy look Soooooo Sweeeeeet in her cosy, white-dot-on-green-grass-look-a-like wrapper-upper blankie device’! And you are right! I DO look sweet, SO SWEET! ‘Cos it says so! Well anyway, it was nice for you to see me test driving my new […]

Crikey Bear. Is this . . . it can’t be?! It IS Pixie! We are IN Fairy’s very own legendary super car! You drive, Pixie, I will try to keep these pesky hitch-hiker type Mousies in order. Oh-ho! I knew it was too good to last! Looks like we have another passenger, Bear. I’d like to […]

Oi (from across the other side of the kitchen) is that OUR tea? It’s just that there appear to be ONIONS in that salad. Mehhhh! Phew! This looks much better! Delightfully onion free I note. Oh yes, mmmm, nom. This will do very nicely – compliments to the chef! And, for some of the more […]

Line up, line up . . . form an orderly queue! Oh, ok, let’s just get stuck in then! Nom, nom, nom . . . PIXIE, did you just BURP? No! I am far too polite! Do you like my hay hat . . .  followers of fashion would say it’s fascinating!! It’s seems very […]

What! Where are you two off to then? Shhh! Don’t tell Fairy, I’ll just check in here for her secret salad stash!   Hummmph – looks very cosy. Perhaps I’ll just sneak in for a crafty little snoozlet. Oh, there you are Fairy, at last. I was just going to keep it warm for you – […]

Jolly nice salad, chef! Thanks! Hum . . . it all looks quite a lot for little me!   Oh good, here’s some help in the shape of a Bear!   Hehe! And I knew a little Pixie would be willing to help out!   C’mon girls, tuck in!   Crumbs! Looks like Pixie doesn’t […]

Hello – is there room in there for little ‘un? WHAT? ME? PUSH? Oh okay then. what with my mighty strength and magic Fairy-Powers I will soon have this wagon rolling. Heave . . . oh just a grass-picking minute, they must be joking. But don’t worry, we already have a man-powered engine on paw. […]

C’mon you lot! Where are we going, Fairy? This way everyone. Look sharp! Fairy won’t notice me stopping for a wee smackerel! What ARE you doing, Bear? Who has been eating MY snacks? Oh-ho! I WAS spotted! I wasn’t! Good job there’s plenty of grass for everyone. It’s nice here, isn’t it Pixie . . […]

Everything and everyone is ready for off! I am ready too – let’s hit the road! What’s this? We seem to be crossing the border into Scotland. Are we nearly there yet? One hour later . . . Not only are we THERE we are on our way back now – with extra cargo! Hold […]

Whoooo! What’s all this then? And WHO is disturbing my ‘copter-nap? Oh, it’s Dougal . . . and those snow-bright-white-polar BEARS. Keep the noise down. Errr, don’t look now chaps, but Dougal has forgotten to put his white suit on.   Who’s this? Oh not to panic, it’s only daddy.   ‘Come on out, my […]

Our dear Marigold has had some health issues recently. We made the decision (the one we all dread) to let Marigold leave with some dignity on Friday. Her health deteriorated over Thursday night, but she seemed to enjoy her romp at 7am when she and Fairy went into the Piggy Palace where they both always […]

Following a particularly vigorous and rumbustious game of Pirates, peace and tranquility has returned to our holiday idyll. Although with a certain young lady in attendance, albeit briefly.   Oh yes, this all looks very pleasant. I particularly like Marigold’s new bikini. Very fetching indeed.   Enough of all this indolence. It’s high time to […]

Meanwhile – back at the beach.   SQUEAK – Sssssh, keep the noise down chaps and chapesses. We don’t want to rouse the ‘sleeping beauty’ from her slumbers just yet, do we?   Asleep? Moi? Oh no . . . I was just resting my eyes a bit.   Now where was I? Oh yes, […]

SQUEEK – Oh this is the life. A holiday by the sea. Peace, perfect peace. Nothing to do but relax, lots of lovely sun and no one to boss us about. What could possibly disturb this idyllic tranquillity?   Yoo hooooo – Mousies, don’t panic, your beloved Fairy is here. This looks just the spot […]

Right then my adoring fans, after weeks of eager anticipation it’s time to put aside all those brochures and for Mr Bear and me to set off on our jolly holidays. There’s just the small matter of the packing left to do.   So Mr Bear, I hope you have been following my carefully written […]

Greetings my loyal friends and followers. It’s here! The day you have all been looking forward to for simply ages, is HERE! I am THREE today! Yippee and everything. Yes, I am all big and grown up now. I can’t believe my eyes, a jolly big party has been laid on for little ol’ me, […]

Greetings my loyal subjects. Apparently there are lots of Street Parties and everything in the UK today –  are Roads and Motorways invited too? There is also a huge flotilla of boats type pageant extravaganza going on down the River Thames in London town. All this festivity must be to do with MY upcoming Birthday. […]

  Fairy is what is known as a Lethal White Guinea Pig. She basically has a genetic ‘fault’ due to certain breeding conditions. She is blind and deaf and like many LW’s she has problems with her teeth. Because of the way they are formed they require regular trimming as they do not meet and […]

Greetings my people – and welcome to a lovely sunny spot in the garden where I am sure you will all be eagerly awaiting my latest pontifications. So here goes. Many of my loyal followers will be familiar with the term ‘Spring Cleaning’. Although more usually applied to what ones Personal Piggy Palace goes through […]

Good morning my people. I had a dream last night that Summer is finally on it’s way. Time to prepare myself for the beach! I am all signed-up for a very special course Mr Bear is running on how to do something complicated with a folding chair. Sounds a bit barmy to me – but […]

Those of you that read my holiday investigation series a few days ago will know, after careful sizing up the facts and what not, I opted for the Lazy Days Holiday. Having a little snoop around the internet I found this advert for Training Your Deckchair. Get me booked in, Mum! And just in case […]

But Marigold, it MIGHT be MY Birthday. When they were handing out the Birthday-dates, maybe they gave you MY Birthday so that must mean that this Birthday that is yours is actually, more than likely in fact, mine. Why can’t it be MY Birthday? What’s that? I can share YOUR Birthday? Well, that’s just the […]

Well, what do we have here then? It appears to be my very own Piglet-sized Mum and Dad lolling about on the beach with the infamous Great, Great Auntie Mavis pawed with her bucket and spade. Looks like fun! It reminds me it’s time yours truly (that’s ME) should decide where to take my yearly […]

Hello, hello and hello thrice! My eyesight might not be all that spot on . . . but isn’t that a . . .   SQUIRREL getting into MY BED?   I am NOT telling tales, honestly.   You needn’t look at ME like that. And you can stop shaking your bushy tail at me, […]

Hello there my loyal and dedicated Fairy Followers. It won’t have egg-scaped your notice that Easter is upon us and my world famous egg-stravagent generosity towards Mousie type beasties knows no bounds. Here I am delivering  their soufflé doop-fflé Easter Eggs. How egg-citing for them!   Whoooooops – I just performed a wheelie! Quick scramble out of […]

Hummmph – either someone has tidied away the view (Mummy), or someone is trying to sneak up on me. Funnily enough, I have spotted the odd couple of strange ears on the horizon lately. Marigold, have you spotted any stranger than usual going on type things in the ‘strange ears on the horizon’ department recently? […]

The endlessly interesting thing about being surrounded by lots and lots of pesky mousie type babes is – they are very inquisitive critters who are always asking lots of deep and meaningful questions. Mostly concerning cheese it must be said, but occasionally something a little more profound. This morning I was visited by a very earnest young […]

Welcome to Fairy’s Marvellous Magical Marmalade Factory Hello my adoring fans and other people. I’m glad you could join me on this historic day in Fairy’s Fruitery. We have been selected by a very important group of Magical Marmalade big-wigs to be visited by an even more important celebrity type someone for possible inclusion in […]

Daddy is back home, safe and sound and all ready to administer to ME, dishing out his super-cuddles like there’s no tomorrow. AND he brought GIFTS for those deserving of them. That will be ME then . . . . a jolly red bag filled with a Fairy-treat, no doubt. That’s handy! Well, this is […]

My Daddy has left home! Don’t worry, it’s only for two days and while I am not one to complain, much, there are times when I just need a jolly good scritch. Remember these? My patented, shiny new invention was just the job when I was Daddy-less last time. They are just the right pudginess, […]

Squeak! Squeak! Errrrr – Auntie Fairy – it looks like Mummy has forgotten to dust the garden this morning – either that or she’s been baking and has run amok with the icing sugar! Don’t be silly little mousey types – it’s been snowing. Go on, off you go and explore. Wowee – this snow […]

Mummy has been telling me lately that I must be very careful not to get into a Jam – she didn’t say anything about Marmalade though! Ha! Fooled you! I’m not getting all sticky in here, but according to Mummy, it is Marmalade making time! These super-duper oranges are only available early in the year. […]

What’s this then? Hummmph – Looks like someone has written this card all upside-down. Muuuuuuummmy – come quick – can you read upside-down writing???? Oooooooh – this looks like a super hooper dooper Auntie Serena Calender. What a wonderful way to count the days until the Piggolympics Event of The Year  (officially known as the […]

Being a connoisseur of cuddles and ear rubs I wish to present how you too can get the best out of your human. First off, get yourself all comfy and cosy and flopped. In this example I make sure my daddy’s left paw is suitably placed to make a perfect resting place for my front […]

See more of Taj Mahal and his lovely family! Guinea Pig Magazine – out today!

Our beautiful Princess, Mariella, passed away unexpectedly yesterday.   My best friend . . . And bravest passenger . . . My ‘copter-snitcher . . . but I didn’t mind! The best Birthday guest ever! And always there to test the latest ‘topper’ . . . Our Princess . . . September 2009 – January […]

Here’s my 2011 Christmas Quiz. Don’t go expecting any prizes but I WILL KNOW if you manage to finish it and then I will send some invisible Fairy-Magic-Wishes your way! If you need a Piggy-Sized image, then nip over to Flickr!

Oh come all ye faithful (followers)! Joy to the world (of mice) – Fairy is come amongst you! It’s time for my pre-Christmas address to the Fairy type nation. Just a minute! Who are YOU then? Mr Robin? Hum . . . birds don’t eat salad do they? No? Oh well, you can stay seeing […]

Right everyone, get snuggled in. Mummy says it’s not too long to go now before Santa will be nipping down our chimney (why he can’t use the door like everyone else is beyond me!), so we had better start to be all good and everything. That’s it Mariella, get the sherry and mince pie all […]

Ho ho ho and all that festive malarkey! I am really getting into the Christmas spirit and today’s the big day – it’s time to get the jolly old tree up! Looks like Mummy and Daddy have started without me – blooming cheek! Very errr . . . . nice. Lacking a few salad related […]

Oh come all ye faithful, tra la – friends, new callers here for the very first time (and what took you so long, may I ask?) and my best, most Important New Best Friend,  Raj Mahal. It is time to ready ourselves for that special time of the year once again. The day will soon […]

My new Gorgeous Guineas shampoo has arrived just in time for tomorrow’s communal bath. Am I REALLY going to have a bath with Marigold AND Mariella, Mum? Good job we have a BIG BATH is all I can say.

Greetings my people. Fairy here, your very own Plutocratic type business mogul. Welcome to my Extraordinfairy Emergency General and Very Important Meeting. I held a big vote before you all arrived and you will doubtless be relieved to hear that I was elected Chair-Fairy – unanimously. So, let’s get straight on with things and let’s […]

Right-ho my people, grab your Pinnies, we are going to be very busy in the kitchen. Today is officially ‘Stir-Up Sunday’. The day when everyone who’s anyone bakes something tasty in anticipation of that far and distant date, Christmas day. Before I go any further though, I am just a tad concerned you may have […]

Hello Fairy-Followers, Friends and fans! If it is a while since you last deigned to pay a visit then you really need to read my previous missive – Fairy Tries Her Hand At Inventing, it would appear that it has got me noticed by a certain whiskery personage! I have an admirer! Yes, yes I […]

Oh, hello there! I am just having some quality time with my Daddy. Can you just scritch a bit higher Daddy? Down a bit . . . . up a bit! Oooh! That’s really perfect! What a lovely, jolly useful Daddy. What’s that, Daddy? You are going away for a couple of days? Eeeeeeek! WHEN […]

It’s Halloween but don’t worry – there are NO such thing as GHOSTS! And if there was a GHOST? Yikes! I’d get in my magic hat . . . with Mr Bear to protect ME! All this talk of silly ghosties has made me want a cuddle . . . not that I am frightened […]

This post also appears on Guinea Pig Today Fairy: Welcome to ‘Fairy Asks The Big Questions’ and an extra big, piggy-type welcome to my Mummy who has kindly agreed to be interviewed today. Mummy, your life changed on June 11th 2009, can you tell us why? Mildred: I certainly can! That was the day a […]

I am back! I went for a jolly long flight but I am here, safe and sound, on terra firma – well, actually I am perched atop a Quince at this exact moment – Hey, Mum! What are we doing with these Quincey type fruits then? Oh well, I did ask. Looks like my salad, […]

Psst! Mr Bear! There seems to be a . . . new Fairy thingy! Is it pour moi? Wow – look, it’s got WINGS and everything. Is this seat arrangement sufficiently errr, ‘ample’, to accommodate for my furry little behind? Hum . . . at least its got a brake pedal! What’s all that ‘Joystick’ […]

Some of you lucky people who follow my antics on the super-duper Guinea Lynx Forum will recall the recent excitement when I held a little competition to guess how many beds, cosies, hideys and houses and things I had acquired. Here’s how it all came about. Gather round, make yourselves comfy as I announce the […]

Hello . . . . HELLO! Is there anyone out there? I am here – in HERE! I KNOW you can’t SEE me, but I AM here! I am busy right now, being a little Flower-Fairy . . . can you come back later, please . . . Hehehe! That should keep all my viewers […]

You guessed!!!!! For those of you that didn’t (humph!), here’s another little clue. . . .

All clear left! Check the mirror – and we’re off! Toot, TOOT! Watch out everyone, Fairy’s behind the wheel. What a glorious day for a spiffing drive in the country. No canoodling in the back. I’ve got my eye on you two! Now then, before we go any further, I think you ought to know […]

Oh hello. Would you mind keeping the noise down a bit? I am trying to have my nap. I am worn to a furry frazzle. Why? You may well ask. I was up all last night meddling in a certain Minty and Monty Mouses affairs – it is their Wedding Anniversary tomorrow and knowing what […]

We have a problem. In between snacking and snoozing, and snacking a bit more, all I keep hearing are mutterances about the garden. The gist of it is, the long, cold winter killed a load of plants off. Well, it isn’t a problem now! Mum! Look at all these nice new plants I’ve found for […]

As many of my you know, my online friends, the Weaver family in America, recently lost everything when they were hit by a tornado. I can’t put it any better than this Blog post. If you want to help you can send a donation. Every Pound or Dollar will help Marsha, her family and pets. […]

Due to other engagements Fairy and the team couldn’t make the Royal Wedding. They wish the happy couple happiness, health and lots of salad and want to remind you of The Wedding of the Year and the Grand Wedding Reception last year!

What’s this then? And where’s the food, if you don’t mind me asking? Pfhuff! It’s got funny little Fairies here and there, but they are not proper Fairies. We ALL know what a proper Fairy looks like. ‘scuse me! Anyone! What’s this for then? I think there has been a mistake. Oh! OHHHH! LOOK at […]

Help! HELP!! HEEEEEEELP! Let me out NOW – this minute! What’s all that noisy, squeaky fuss about, Marigold? There’s an awful lot of ‘language’ coming from somewhere! There does seem to be rather a lot of noise. Never mind. Lets just ignore it. Look – we are about to get our photo taken. Smile sweetly […]

Ahoy! I say! AHOY THERE! Chocks away! I am going to sail my my beautiful new boat on a voyage across the seas. Errr . . . what do you mean, ‘I have to row’? Isn’t it powered by anything? Well, I’ll soon see about that! That’s it, Marigold – row, row, row the boat, […]

Fairy . . . oh, Fairy! Wakey, wakey! *blows gently on a Fairy-flap* Oh crumbs! What does she want now . . . . fuff and fum! I was just having a nice nap in my brand new, snuggly, buggly, cosy, dozy bed. Oh hello! What! What do you want now . . . Look […]

Hello! What do we have here then . . . is this what I think it is? I DO know what it is, I do, I do, I have just forgotten the word for it . . . anyway, it must be a present for me seeing as it’s landed here, right under my nose. […]

Hello, Fairy here! I have to admit to feeling somewhat muddled today. I keep thinking I am seeing things, it must be my age . . . or lack of food or something. Whatever it is, it is serious – come on, I’ll show you what . . . Here’s WHAT! Look! A small, round, […]

I am just getting a bit of practice in ready for my forthcoming Driving Test. Being the generous little piggy I am, I offered Marigold and Mariella a ride today. Hang on in there, you two! I am just going to get my paw down and go for a bit of a zoom! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Nieooooooooooooooooooow! […]

Peeep! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Look out everyone! Here I come! Brumm-brumm . . . brumm-brumm! Watch out – make way! Am I doing ok, Mum? I like driving – I don’t even think I need driving lessons! It might be a different matter when I get those two back seat drivers in with me though. I […]

Oh! You’ve caught me in the act! I am just undoing another present! It must be for me, what with pink packaging and what-not. It tastes a bit funny. That’s odd! It isn’t an edible gift! Well, let’s be having a sniff under here . . . pfhoof, it smells SHINY! It’s a HAT! Well, […]

Christmas is all over but don’t worry, it’s the New Year now! I hope it brings you health and happiness, cuddles and kisses, salads galore and all good things like that! It is also a time to make something called ‘resolutions’. When you are a small piggy like me, with so much to think about, […]

Ho, Ho and thrice Ho! Fairy here, your internationally renowned spirit of Christmas. Well, just to further illustrate what a selfless little bundle of philanthropic joy I am, I’m throwing a Festive Tea Party for Minty and Monty and the Pesky Mousie Babes so they can all show their appreciation for me and all my […]

SANTA! Here I am, all dressed up and ready for Christmas in my tastefully designed seasonal snuglage ensemble. Speech? SPEECH? Did I hear you say? Oh ok then – you asked for it! (Here I go then, in my best posh regal type accent). Dear readers, followers, fans and what have yous, welcome. Christmas is, […]

Snow, snow and more snow! I expect you thought that is what you would find here today. Well, you were wrong! Nasty cold wet stuff that sticks to my whiskers – brrrr! So instead I am bringing you a little bit of summer. Sit down on a nice comfy chair, put your paws up and […]

This is the life, what ho and all that. I am not sure why Daddy needs BOTH his paws to support me though, I’m not THAT big . . . am I? Did I hear him say his arms are aching, goodness me, whatever next? Humph! Back in my cuddle cup now – mind you, […]

Fairy is well known the world over for her generosity and philanthropic good works. This year she has truly excelled herself! Not only does she feature on the 2011 Guinea Lynx Calendar, a rather fetching portrait as Miss April, enhanced by having the beautiful Marigold on the cover, she is also immensely proud to spearhead […]

As the nights draw in and Fairy’s thoughts turn to ensuring maximum night time comfort and cosiness, The Fairy Palace has taken delivery of a brand new sleep device, guaranteed to provide suitable softiness and snoozability. Here we find our pint sized hero about to embark on its very first test drive – with a […]

My dearly beloved people. You have all been gathered here today, at my great personal inconvenience I might add, to hear the latest of my very important proclamations delivered on my specially commissioned Soapbox. An Announcement of such import that even little ol’ me is getting very excited! Tee hee. Humph, you two have finally […]

Hello loyal friends and dedicated Fairy followers. As if life isn’t scary enough for a sensitive little piggy such as me, my mousey family mentioned that something called Halloween was happening and Halloween meant everything would be ghostly and witchy and scary and pumpkiny and . . . actually, I am not sure where pumpkins […]

It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about. Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it? What does it say on this here […]

Hummph! Has my super sized, snuggly SMUGG boot shrunk? I can’t seem to get in to it properly. Just a minute, there are some kind of furry obstruction type things getting in my way. Fearless Fairy will have to investigate – gulp! Oh I might have known – a pair of Mousies! What on earth […]

I was just having a quiet nose around the house and came across this interesting object. Now what ever can it be? Now then, I might just have a little look into that interesting top bit. Ah, just as I suspected – methinks it looks like a perfect Mariella-free snuggling zone. Onwards and upwards! Can […]

What do we have here then? Looks like a fan has sent me another present – all the way from Germany! It’s a goodly sized box. I wonder what it could be! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be exciting. I hope it’s salad. I have it on very good authority that German salad is […]

Now then my people – let’s see what the weather is going to be like today. If it’s all little fluffy white clouds and gentle cooling breezes, I might initiate the inaugural flight of my brand new, top of the range, super splendiferous Fairycopter. And not a pesky baby mousey in sight! Well, I can’t […]

Right Ho my hearties – it’s time to pose for our annual official portrait picture photo thingy. Try to look stately and imposing Marigold. Just like me. Everyone say “Fairy”! Mummy wanted us to squeeze together a bit. Fufff. Trust Mariella to take things too far. And I do not need a comb-over type toupee […]

What ho! I may be able to fly a carrot through the wide blue skies and beyond – but who would have thought that a real life wooden pig might fly too? Just give me two ticks while I get cleared for take off and locate the accelerator pedal thingy, and check the horn – […]

We find our pals busily sitting around happily doing nothing – but all is not as it seems.  There is a simmering mood of discontent coming inexorably to the boil, emanating from the hairy occupant of the cheese chair. Hummph, Hummmph and thrice Hummmmph! What ails you sweet Fairy? You don’t appear to be your […]

Recently, Fairy took her big sisters for a spin on her Magic Carrotty-Comfort-Cushion, which also doubles as a disguised spaceship! Fairy: C’mon everyone, all aboard! Fasten your seat-belts, if they will reach! We’ll have to hurry, it looks like rain. Hold on tight . . . here we go . . . . *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnooou* make […]

. . . earlier today in the Thatched Cottage Garden . . . What’s that orange thing over there, Petunia? I don’t know, Marmaduke. Maybe it has been sent here by a vastly superior intelligence from a galaxy far, far away. Either that or the local supermarket’s delivery service has got the order wrong again! […]

Marigold: Mum said ‘no tea’ and to sit still and behave! Look, she’s got that black box with the funny lens thing again! Marigold: Look over there though, there’s that nice sweetcorn mine . . . . Fairy: Marigold, behave and look at the camera thingy. Mariella: Yes, it looks yummy. I am partial to […]

Being a faithful Fairy follower, you will already know that I am well known for being exceptionally fond of my food. I find that when one isn’t actively engaged in the process of eating then reading all about it is the very next best thing. These quaint old salad recipes are making my mouth water. […]

I know what you are thinking – how could Fairy possibly leave all that spare lovely bright shiny sweet corn leaf treasure behind? Well – she didn’t! Just after the last photo was taken . . . Mummy – can you come quickly? Oh, and bring lots of carrier bags with you please! A few […]

Nanny Fairy here people, my good works and kindnesses to bestow. Minty and Monty wanted a quiet day out together today, probably to get me a big prize or plan a huge surprise party for me or something of that me-centred nature. I, of course, volunteered to look after all the baby mices for them. […]

Everyone knows what a busy little bee I am, but my absolute favourite job has to be sending out parcels to my friends! Wrapping up a pressie in my own special logo-ed tissue paper, adding a personalised card and not forgetting a liberal sprinkle of special Fairy Magic and then imagining the parcel speeding off […]

I didn’t know the new babies would be such hard work, Monty. I am just about at my tails end trying to cope with everything. I haven’t slept in nights! They don’t give me a moment’s peace – look at them! It’s bedtime now and they simply won’t settle down and go to sleep! Don’t […]

Now then, settle down you two. You’ve been pacing about like a cat on a hot . . . oops, sorry about the indelicate feline reference there. No offence! Everything comes to those who wait – including the Postman. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong* Oh-ho. Is that the doorbell? That’ll be him […]

That grass growing experiment we did recently went very well. The only problem being that there wasn’t quite enough to grow round, so to speak. Actually, there might well have been if Mariella had been put on a strict diet. I know, I was the only one who thought she should be on one! Anyway, […]

Righty ho. This looks like the perfect spot to show off my horticultural expertise. Just need to get all my equipment spread out. These little plastic pots are just the ticket! Now then, you two can be my Posse. Pay close attention, look photogenic and don’t forget to make me look good. Don’t say too […]

Hello my people. I am often asked by someone, what is the ideal number of piggy’s in a household? Well, we were given a present of this super-dooper, attractive sign thing by my piggy-daddy, Ernie, the other day. And, by jingo, it’s just the job for helping me to answer that very important question. Take […]

C’mon you two, we’re moving lawns! Look, the grass is greener over yonder! Pack your cuddle cups and snoozing bags, and bring plenty of nourishing snacks for the journey. We’d better get topped up, Marigold, Fairy usually knows what she is munching about . . . . nom, nom, nom. I don’t know why we […]

Dear The Manager, The Grow-It-Yourself-Grass Company, It is Fairy here again. I recently had the privilege of sampling a tray of your delicious grass, and very good it was too. However, before I could even enjoy it for a second time, my so called loving sisters managed to sneak in and gobble up every last […]

G’day my people! I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important. I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one! Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see […]

It is a lovely warm Sunday afternoon and the sun is shining. There is a light cooling breeze to gently ruffle my silky fur as I sit here snacking on my Grow-It-Yourself-Grass. Life is truly wonderful! Now, where was I? Oh yes – nom, nom, nom . . . Humm, now, where are those two […]

It may not have escaped the more astute followers of my Blog that Marigold and Mariella, my half sisters, are rather more ‘traditionally built’ than my svelte, lithe self. This is due the the vast quantities of salad they consume. As well as their regular meals – breakfast, mid morning snacks, late morning snacks, lunch, […]

I received lots of lovely gifts for my Birthday the other day but one in particular was most welcome: Grow-it-yourself Grass! Our good friends at Gorgeous Guineas sent me a bag of magical seed things which Daddy planted for me. We watered them every day and now look! Lots of yummy, tall, extra fresh tasting […]

As you know, I am a hay fever sufferer. It isn’t very nice when your dose gets all blocked up or you start sneezing everywhere. I am only allowed to go in the garden in the evening at present, when the pollen is a little less troublesome. Here I am examining the flowers last night. […]

The newly weds have been spending time relaxing in their brand new rented apartment in London. It is Japanese style! Meanwhile Peregrine and Pandora are busy decorating Minty and Monty’s new home, with a little help from Fairy of course. Come along Peregrine, you will have to brush-up your technique – you’ve missed a bit! […]

Thank you everyone for all your lovely Birthday Wishes, cards, gifts and salad – especially salad! I had a wonderful Birthday and love being ONE. Why can’t it be a brilliant birthday day every day? I didn’t have a traditional party as such with balloons and streamers and jelly being as I was a little […]

Fairy is ONE today! And look who are here! The love struck mice have returned from their Honeymoon – and just in time. It looks as though Fairy has a big pile of cards and presents, Minty! I can’t wait to see her face when she knows we have come home from our honeymoon especially […]

As I have some film left in the camera, due to having to dash back unexpectedly from ‘our’ honeymoon, I have decided to take you on a special guided tour round a bit of my garden. First stop is our Clubhouse. It is fitted out with a gigantic fridge, containing the worlds largest Salad Crisper […]

We have had such a lovely honeymoon. I have kept an eye on the newly weds and we have gone everywhere together. I will be sending more pics soon so everyone can see what we’ve been up to. However, it seems we are returning home a bit early though, ready for my Big Birthday on […]

As you know, I am accompanying Minty and Monty on their honeymoon. I am taking the important role of Chief Photographer and Reporter. ! I knew I would come in useful. Here are the happy couple! Minty and Monty have packed their bag and are off on the holiday of a lifetime! Smile, say ‘cheese’! […]

This is especially for you, AliMouse. When Fairy was very small she soon found the comfiest places to snooze. One of those was in the protective arms of Pasquale, the bear. She had no idea how tiny she appeared – and how sweet! Here she is at about 10 weeks of age. You can imagine […]

It has been an exciting morning for everyone seeing the lovely Araminta and Montmorency tie the knot! Now we join the guests as they assemble in Fairy’s garden for the wedding reception this afternoon. Here they are, tucking into their buffet, toasting the happy couple, and discussing the bride’s mother’s hat! And here’s Fairy to […]

Welcome to the wedding of Fairy’s close friend, the beautiful international model Araminta Mouse, to the esteemed Mouse about town Montmorency Mouse. It seems like yesterday that Fairy played matchmaker, accompanying the pair on their very first date, going along to make sure Minty didn’t forget the chocolates on Valentine’s Day,  and being there at […]

The wedding preparations are well under way. Fairy has done an outstanding job as ‘event organizer’, planning everything with meticulous attention down to the last detail. We expect the big day to go without a hitch! This morning Fairy went for a wander round the garden in search of suitable flowers. Wow! Look at these […]

Minty and Monty are getting married! What promises to be THE wedding of the year will take place on Friday, 28th of May. After a long engagement, in mouse terms, of almost 3 months, the couple have decided to tie the knot! Fairy has been a great help planning and organising the wedding as well […]

Hello! I am over here! In amongst the daisies – they are white, just like me, and almost as pretty! They smell lovely but I know they are not edible! They are very comfy to sit on. I think I may just take a nap.

*Fairy shouting* Errr, ‘scuse me . . . I’m over here! Everything in the garden is so big! Even with Marigold and Mariella’s help, I will not be able to eat this huge carrot. And just look at Big Wilma! Did you ever see such a big guinea pig? I am down here now. Squirrel […]

Sunny day. Guineas on the lawn. And this is what they get up to! Hello, Marigold, are you coming with me? I am going exploring. C’mon you two, keep up! Humph – this is a bit of a dead end! Shhhh, I am going to sneak over here now . . . . . . […]

Fairy accompanied Minty and Monty to the local soft furnishings store, ‘Sew Mouse’, yesterday. With her impeccable taste Minty is keen to to find the finest linens and fabrics to be made into curtains and such like for their stylish new home. Here we are then! An abundance of gorgeous fabrics. Looks like we could […]

Have you looked at the hedge in your garden recently and thought how characterless and unexciting it looks? A monotonous stretch of repetitious green – if you are lucky! Many garden hedges are threadbare and unkempt. Regular. Conventional. A barrier between your garden and your neighbour. Boring, dull, lifeless! Functional, unexceptional, middling and ‘hedge-like! What […]

Fairy enjoys very deep, satisfying sleeps! Her ears can be seen twitching, her toes jigging and she makes tiny little squeak noises – I always hope she is having a nice dream and not a nightmare. Errr, where am I then? It feels as though I am on another planet. The ground is all hard […]

Big Birthdays are not so bad after all! I am having a really wonderful day – on this my BIG Birthday! Lots of beautiful cards, surprise presents and yummy scrummy things to eat. I have received lots of Happy Birthday wishes from people I have never met but who I am proud to call friends. […]

I love Birthdays! Other peoples that is, not my own and especially NOT those BIG ones! I have one of ‘those’ tomorrow. Fairy has a really big, special Birthday coming up. Her Birthday is on June 11th, she will be one. Fairy has decided she doesn’t want any presents and any cash she receives is […]

Another Mouse Tale today. You can follow this ongoing story starring Fairy and her friends, Minty and Monty, as well as other magical characters, by going to the Index page and selecting the Blog Posts from the Mouse Tales Category list. The Tales are also to be found in HELLO! Fairy magazine and the Special […]

Fairy has always enjoyed being cuddled and enjoys many hours asleep nestling in her Daddy’s hands! Being blind and deaf has its compensations – there’s nothing to distract you. So once you are in a warm, safe and comfortable snuggle, it is easy to nod off. Before last Christmas, Fairy proclaimed Pasquale Bear as officially […]

Fairy is weighed regularly to ensure she is maintaining a healthy weight and not loosing any of those precious grams. With any guinea pig weight loss is a cause for worry, but with Fairy being very small at 680g, around half the size of a standard piggy, I would be doubly concerned – especially knowing […]

Mariella joined us in October 2009. A teeny squiff of baby guinea pig, with the biggest round eyes and squidgiest nose you ever did see! Mariella is stunningly beautiful, wearing her gorgeous black, tan and white fur like some glamour model! She has a bold character to match! Mariella marched straight in through the door, […]

Although May 1st was beautifully warm and sunny, today it is decidedly chilly here in our part of the UK. Fairy is safely snuggled up in her favourite Cuddle Cup enjoying a relaxing afternoon nap in the warm kitchen. I have just returned from a brisk walk down the lane for ‘grass collecting’ purposes – […]

Fairy really appreciates how lucky she is to have a happy, loving home here with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella. She enjoys top quality Guinea Pig food, has a beautiful bedroom, gym, playroom and garden. She has a personal specialist healthcare advisor and dentist. She has regular baths, cuddles, ear rubs and chin tickles. Her […]

Fairy is very good at posing for the camera. She is a consummate professional  – keeping still, applying just the right expression to suit the scene, she could not be more cooperative. She seems to know exactly what is expected of her and provides it willingly! Seeing her posing for the camera and taking into […]

Christmas was a very special time for Fairy. Not only was it her first Christmas ever, it was also a time of giving of gifts and receiving surprise presents in return! The highlight of her day was Christmas Dinner. Mr Bear joined Fairy for a not quite traditional meal. Oh yummy! Look at my Christmas […]

Although, like most guinea pigs, Fairy’s favourite pastime is eating she is also very aware of the importance of exercise. And what could be better than combining the two! Fairy’s little hay tin contains some chopped ‘special blend’ hay. Each ‘Push Up’ results in a small treat! The perfect combination! What a great game!

Fairy took Minty to choose her wedding dress the other day. Plans are well under way for ‘The Wedding Of The Year’. The invitations will be in the post any day – look out for yours! Here’s Fairy to take us through the proceedings. Morning, Mr Bear. It is so kind of you to offer […]

Fairy is usually a very clean piggy but occasionally she gets ‘kebab toes’. Grubby little paws from paddling though ‘unmentionables’. If she washes herself with these ‘gloves’ she resembles a tiger with her pig-made stripes. Very un-Fairy-like! It isn’t quite as pleasant cuddling a piggy with grubby toes and stripy fur – especially if she […]

It has been a very long winter. Five months of what seemed like perpetual cold, wet and windy weather. According to the experts however, this weekend promises to be the warmest of the year so far! A mini heat wave no less! Good! The gang (piggy and people alike) can’t wait to get back to […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Brillo, her mum, was among five guinea pigs we rescued from an intolerable situation. She gave birth to 3 babies, Fairy, Flash and Jiff, a little boy piggy. It didn’t take long to realise Fairy was blind and a few days after that it was apparent she had […]

Like most guineas Fairy likes to feel the warm sun on her fur! Front AND back! It’s lovely! It is nice to sit out with your friends too. Even if you can’t go out, it is good to know the sun is shining! It warms your whiskers . . . . . . and makes […]

A glorious Spring day and Fairy and her pals are off on a picnic! C’mon you lot, it’s time to get out! Well, it seems Pandora and Peregrine, Minty’s Brother, are getting along fine and dandy. It’s nice here, isn’t it? Lovely place to enjoy a spot of sunbathing. What a marvellous hat, Monty! I […]

Now then you two, I’m glad you could come over today – we are going to bake a cake. I like your pinny, Minty, just the job! Let’s get on then, it will be a certain person’s Birthday soon, so you need to know what to do. This IS going to be fun! Now, where […]

Although Minty and Monty have a comprehensive Wedding Gift List, they have anjoyed going on a spending spree recently. Selecting home furnishings has been a thoroughly exciting experience for the trio! Nice cooker, Minty! Snazzy carpet, it will be just right. A lovely bed! A little door mat to wipe my paws on! Some nifty […]

Now that Minty and Monty are engaged they are eagerly looking for a mouse house to start their married life in. Fairy has located a helpful Estate Agent to show them some suitable – or should that be UNsuitable – homes! Hello! It looks as though there are plenty of homes for sale! I don’t […]

Pigidges, in London’s Hayfur, was the venue chosen by Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse for a recent sumptuous dinner to celebrate the engagement of their daughter Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. Celebrated Chef Mark De’Salad, along with Sous-chef Loader Von Trap, created a special Commemorative Menu for the honoured guests. Perusing the very posh a la carte […]

‘It is a dream come true,’ exclaimed a breathless Araminta Mouse as she left The Eatalotto Ice Cream Parlour, arm in arm with her beau, Montmorency Mouse. ‘Oh, I was simply amazed when I spotted the huge sparkly diamond ring in the ice cream sundae! I thought I was going to faint!’ Hello everyone! I […]

The girls got some new beds and huts recently. A perfect sunny day to sit out and enjoy their comfiness! Look at meeeeee! Peep-oh Mariella! Fairy doesn’t mind sharing.

The guest beds are ready! Fairy has two very special friends coming to stay for a sleepover tonight. Can you guess who they might be? She has accepted the task of acting as their chaperone. What a responsibility! After a tasty supper and a romp round the garden to try and tire out her little […]

Fairy likes to keep herself ‘whiter than white’ and takes her beauty routine very seriously. She enjoys a bath every week or so, has her nails carefully trimmed every 2 weeks, gets weighed regularly, and generally enjoys a healthy lifestyle, with plenty of exercise, fresh salad and vegetables, top quality hay, and daily cuddles! Here’s […]

Fairy published her very own magazine recently. Hello! Piggy is packed with all the latest celebrity mouse gossip as well as hints and tips, interviews and product tests! Many of the posts from Fairy’s Blog can be found among its pages as well as plenty of new ‘goings on’. Enjoy it! It is available as […]

Ernie, Fairy’s Dad, visited a few weeks ago. He brought a beautiful gift for Fairy, a Special Salad Plate created by Ernie’s mum and dad especially for Fairy! Fairy couldn’t wait to test it out. This is the handsome Ernie. And Fairy examining her new plate! Here it is, loaded up with fresh salad! Is […]

The Rt Hon Plantagenet and Primrose Big-Mouse were delighted to be introduced to Araminta’s latest beau Montmorency Mouse, at a recent ‘at home’ held in their tasteful drawing room at the sumptuous and well appointed Plantagenet House, in London. Primrose looked splendid in her up to the minute fashionable gingham check pinafore dress, toning red […]

As we all know, Guinea Pigs eat a lot of hay. Indeed, it should be available at all times so they can graze throughout the day. Fairy has a particular way of enjoying her hay. As well as eating it she likes to burrow into it, enjoying the sensation of the hay tickling her back! […]

Araminta, Montmorency Mouse, Fairy, with Mr Bear at the helm, kept as cool as cucumbers as their treasure was swept overboard by a giant wave. It’s a lovely day for a boat trip, you are very kind to invite us, Mr Bear. This is the first time Araminta and Montmorency have been on a boat. […]

The Front Page speaks for itself! Full report to follow soon.

We lost our dear Matilda earlier this year. Anyone who has lost a much loved pet will know the sadness and emotions you feel. It is very hard and you cry and want them back, and you try to be happy for their lovely life they had with you. A lovely friend’s husband painted this […]

Minty and Monty join Fairy in the kitchen to do some baking. Hello there! We are going to bake some cakes today. Haha! I like those chefs hats – just the ticket! Oops! You don’t want that in there, Minty, let me take care of it. You are doing a grand job! Hum, that flour […]

Fairy’s many fans were thrilled to attend the awards ceremony following her success at the Piggy Of The Year Show! She was awarded the coveted Silver Salad Bowl and made a rousing speech afterwards! The event hit the headlines in the newspaper! Watch Fairy’s video of her winning round on YouTube.

Fairy invited Minty and Monty to stay over following their Romantic Dinner Date on St Valentine’s Day. Here they are on Sunday morning, relaxing on their bean bags, discussing the date, the food and, no doubt, their next date! You looked to be enjoying yourself last night, Minty. Maybe we can go on another date […]

After their date at the Cinema, Minty and Monty got together again – on St Valentine’s Day! Picture the scene – a romantic dinner for two at a posh restaurant, the lights are low, the music is playing softly. What could possibly go wrong? Err! Don’t mind me, you two. Carry on, you won’t even […]

Following on from the Girls’ Night In now, where Fairy promised to introduce Araminta to Montmorency Mouse. So THIS is where Fairy took them on their Blind Date!

Fairy, doing what she does best . . . . . . eating and posing! And . . . . washing her nose. And exploring! And checking. And eating some more!

This is nice, Minty. Our favourite tunes on the radio and some good books to share! This one has some handy hints about the latest fashions! What do you mean, ‘You don’t have anywhere to wear your nice things? Don’t you have a mousefriend? Hum, let me see, I’ll just have a look in my […]

In September Fairy had some friends over to join her for an pignic. Here she is with her friend Ginny enjoying some salad snacks. Ginny is 6 years old and is just about the cuddliest piggy I have ever cuddled! And with Baby-Maybe. She lives with Ginny. She was one of the beautiful guinea pigs […]

Fairy’s close friend, Araminta, is up from London for a few days. The girls love to get together for a natter now and then. I like your red spotty top, Minty. Muum! Can I get something red and spotty please? Hum . . . Minty is so pretty, I wonder if she has a boyfriend […]

Fairy’s friend, Montmorency Mouse, has been in an accident. The ever thoughtful Fairy pays him a visit. Delivering a big bunch of hay which, she is sure, will help Monty to get better. She also made a Get Well card for him! See Fairy passing the card to Monty in this short film. A few […]

Fairy was born on June 11th 2009. Her mum, Brillo, was a ‘rescue piggy’, taken from an unpleasant situation, along with her many assorted brothers, sisters and other relations. Here’s her Dad, Ernie! Fairy was a very small piggy. As well as being blind and deaf she also had many problems with her teeth. Her […]

I would like to introduce Fairy’s Blog with an inaugural photo tribute. A Fairy was born . . . It was obvious Fairy was going to be exceedingly fond of food . . . She likes her salads to be tidy! Lead on, Fairy! A family outing . . . Room for a little one! Fairy’s new […]

If you have just arrived here unnanounced, a brief introduction may be in order. Fairy, our beautiful, loved and very magical piggy inspired us to create a series of little stories illustrating the wonderful antics in her fun packed life. You will find an index to all her stories here. She gathered many friends along […]

  From left to right, Baby Betty, Young Bertie, Flo, Poppy, Posy (on Santa’s chair), and Pansy (looking for the reindeer!) all wish you much happiness, salad and joy this Christmas-time!

It has been a little over a year since Fairy left us. There hasn’t been a day we haven’t thought about her and remembered her funny little ways, the love and joy, and all the magic she brought – not only to us but also to everyone who knew her, far and wide. If you […]

Quick! The camera is here! You do it, Pixie, I’m too small! It seems I have been voted spokes-piggy so, if we may have a drum roll, please . . It gives me great pleasure . . . . . . to announce the arrival of a brand new family member! Freshly delivered yesterday may I […]

Fairy’s Memorial Stone has arrived – we are so happy with how it looks and it feels good to mark Fairy’s special spot in the garden. Here are the troublesome foursome, in their barrow, heading along to inspect things. Mmmm, smells good. Let’s check all round it first. I like this bit! We ALL like […]

Meanwhile – back at the beach.   SQUEAK – Sssssh, keep the noise down chaps and chapesses. We don’t want to rouse the ‘sleeping beauty’ from her slumbers just yet, do we?   Asleep? Moi? Oh no . . . I was just resting my eyes a bit.   Now where was I? Oh yes, […]

Following a particularly vigorous and rumbustious game of Pirates, peace and tranquility has returned to our holiday idyll. Although with a certain young lady in attendance, albeit briefly.   Oh yes, this all looks very pleasant. I particularly like Marigold’s new bikini. Very fetching indeed.   Enough of all this indolence. It’s high time to […]

SQUEEK – Oh this is the life. A holiday by the sea. Peace, perfect peace. Nothing to do but relax, lots of lovely sun and no one to boss us about. What could possibly disturb this idyllic tranquillity?   Yoo hooooo – Mousies, don’t panic, your beloved Fairy is here. This looks just the spot […]

Life goes on . . . and it is time for an update. Welcome to the new arrivals! Meet Poppy and Posy – a pair of proper pirate-pigs, into mischief and causing mayhem at every turn! And another new guinea pig joined us recently, Big Bear, in memory of our own beautiful Bear. She is […]

It is with the utmost sadness I am writing to tell you our dear, sweet, beautiful and very magical Fairy passed away this morning. She had a little seizure yesterday morning and fell into a coma soon after. Being Fairy she wasn’t in a hurry to leave her wonderful life but she finally went peacefully […]

We have had to add some new security software to block the several 100’s of spam user registrations we were receiving daily and subsequently this has caused problems for genuine people logging in to leave a comment. We are very sorry about this. We know how frustrating it can be when it becomes more trouble […]

Now then Pixie my old fruit. Kinda peace-able in these here parts of late. It’s been very quiet – too quiet some would say. Happen there’s a storm blowing in to town. Either that or a double decker bus. Between you, me and the salad bowl, I think there may be a very special delivery […]

It is with the saddest heart I have to write the words we all dread. We have lost our dear, sweet, cuddly Bear. How could it be just a few days ago when I was spring cleaning the Piggery accompanied by a noisy rumbly thundering noise – it was Bear, zooming back and forth, popcorning […]

Seeing as how I am an internationally renowned superstar and everything, special days are an ideal opportunity for my legions of Fairy Fans to demonstrate their devotion. Doubly appropriate actually as it is Valentine’s Day today! Whooopeeee, and here comes the Postie. Oh, my goodness gracious, a parcel, for me? How VERY unexpected!   Mmmmmmmm […]

We all know what today is. No, not Munchday or Chewsday. It’s Valentine’s Day!!! As well as my usual impressively huge heap of splendid cards from secret admirers from all around the world, pledging their troths or some such, plus enough magnificent red roses to stock several well appointed Florist Shops, these rather fetching block […]

Oh my whiskers! I am in PRINT! My sweet and pretty face is adorning a page or two of this marvellous guide aimed at young ‘uns, telling them what’s what with caring for us V.I.P’s! It is told by Parsley Pig (and written by Briony Isaacs) and features lots of celebratory piggies from all around […]

Hello there my loyal and lovely piggy pals. I am delighted you could join us. Today is a very special day in Fairyland. Not only is it New Year’s Eve, but tonight it is also Pixie and Bears’ first ever ‘proper’ hootennany type party – with fancy drinks and nibbles and discovating and guests and, […]

Hello there my people – Seasons Greetings from Fairyland on Christmas Day. We WERE going to have a very civilised present opening session this morning. Unfortunately, piggy excitement seems to have displaced patience and decorum! So instead of my usual beautifully written and wonderfully photographed story, we are happy to share some seasonal snaps starring […]

It would appear that The Big Day is nearly upon us – the time when all good little piggies get lots of extra cuddles and lots of love. Much like any other day then! However, there is a catch to this Big Day. Mummy says, that for no good reason I can see, we have […]

Greetings from a fabulously festive Fairyland my loyal and faithful followers. Just so you get an idea of what’s what, it’s almost Christmas. Last year Pixie and Bear were too new and giddy to fully appreciate what a special time this is. Unfortunately, Daddy must have whispered the ‘present’ word within their hearing and so […]

Can you just hold on a minute while I examine this marvellous card that arrived for moi today? Hehehe! Not only is it for ME, it’s full of ME too – and even a bit of Pixie and Bear as well! Look! There we are, full of festive-ness! Thank you very much indeed, Poppet and […]

I understand it is traditional to pay a visit to a certain Mr Santa Paws type person at this time of year. My invaluable advice would be to go and see him as soon as possible so you can give him all your special requests nice and early. Although why this request process differs from […]

Here I am again. Would you believe some nosey friends asked my mum recently ‘Where does Fairy sleep’? As if that is anyone’s business but my own. I will tell you anyway, but only if you are nosey enough to read on . . . First off the important bits – getting me fed! This […]

You might be forgiven for thinking we’d all gone away for good this summer when actually we were all just very busy indeed. What with lawn-mowing duties, salad growing and testing the outcomes duties, plus all sorts of untold summery type jobs, these last few wheeks have been somewhat hectic. But we are BACK! It’s […]

  Good day one and all. I have an extra special treat for you today – meet a certain set of neighbourly interlopers, who appeared on the scene yesterday just in time for yours truly to practice my skills with the camera type thingy seeing as mummy can’t control it one-handedly at present (she is […]

Top’o’the morning, friends and all! I expect you think I have been lazing around all summer, snoozing in a shady corner, or enjoying a spot of warm sun on my back. Well, you would be wrong! You have, I am sure, heard of the saying ‘green fingered’, meaning someone is a dab hand with plants […]

Hello there my lovely followers. What a truly excellent and all super duper type extended Birthday Number Four I am having! Lo and behold it seems there’s another special little parcel arrived for me somewhere. Now where on earth can it be? Oh yes – here it is. I knew that! I has been tastefully […]

Hello again! I’ve been extra good for almost a whole minute now because . . . IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! A time to celebrate, to rejoice, to let the bells ring loud throughout the land and, and to bring on the pressies! Errrr, that’s a nice snack, thank you Auntie Rachel and Auntie Alice, but it […]

Today is my Very Special day – I am FOUR! Time to don my tiara and get ready for my Birthday Party later on! Bear: Happy Birthday from me and Pixie, Fairy. Pixie: Yes, yes, enough of all that, looks like Daddy has something lined up over yonder. Come on, you two, we have exciting […]

Occasionally someone unexpected appears in The Piggery. Today was one of those days. Hello there. Who are ewe? Wool I never! A curly coated sheep type person has come to stay! She looks all innocent and young. Must be pure new wool. I bet she can spin a good yarn. Just call me Fairy-Curly-Locks. Errr […]

Meet my two very special friends, Mr Bee and Mr Ladybug! You can tell they are special bee-cause they are allowed to sit in my armchairs. Mr Bee is especially useful, he has a jolly comfy lap to sit on . . . he’s the bee-knees. And he does particularly good back scritches, useful when […]

Look! A lovely friend made me a jolly special Fairy type dinner bowl, just for ME! It’s very nice, although I have to say it is rather lacking in the snacks department. I am only saying, like. Nom, nom, nom! That’s much better! C’mon Pixie and bear, you can help me test my new bowl! […]

Oh hello! Has my new three piece been delivered? Good! Oh whooo! It’s lovely and pink, my favourite colour. Now then you two, I will spell this out for you – it says FAIRY, that means ME! This means this is the place where I will sit – not YOU, Bear, or YOU, Pixie, if you don’t […]

Hello there my lovelies. Mummy says it’s Easter – time for another of my splendiferous set-piece photo portrait type heirloom thingies. As it’s Easter Mummy wants us to be all good and colourful and very well behaved – no problems there then! I’ve recruited a clutch of fluffy chicks to make up the numbers. I […]

Hello my darlings. I wonder what unalloyed joys today has in store for me? Oh yes, I remember – I am off to The Palace for an audience with some major Royals. How jolly nice for them!   Good day, ma’am, your ladyship, Princess Anastasia Teacake. Nice place you have here. When do we eat? Oh and […]

Greetings my loyal and faithful followers. We have an extra special cause to celebrate today – apparently. Not only has mummy presented me with a rather splendid vase of smelly and totally inedible flowers (no – I don’t know why either), but we have a visit from a right royal official celebrity type mousie – […]

Hello there my adoring Fairy Fans. Today is an even more special day in the Piggery calendar than usual – It’s VALENTINES DAY! I wonder what tokens of everlasting love have winged their way from far flung corners of the globe to my cuddle cup? Judging by all the excitement the postman’s made a delivery!   Errr, […]

It’s me, Pixie, here. I am hijacking Fairy’s Blog to send a secret message to some very gorgeous boy piggy boars I know . . . Roses are Red and Violets are Blue But don’t send me those – they will never do. I’d rather have carrots and lots of things green – Send me those, dear, […]

What ever do we need an iron for? Are we expected to iron our own beds, or something, now? Oh well, will you look here . . . Aw! That’s is our beautiful and especially dear Auntie Marigold pictured on there! Now we will never forget her, Pixie and Bear. Not only was she a […]

Look! I have taken advantage of the recent abundant snowfall and built my very own snowpig! Yikes! he’s a scary fellow! Let me see . . . hum, very tasty! He smells funny, Pixie! Is he here to stay, do you know, Fairy? NO! He isn’t staying! he couldn’t if he tried. Line up quick, […]

Hay, Hay, HAY! Quick everybody, WAKE-UP – Santa has been! Come on you lazy piggy type tykes, time to get up . . . NOW! Oh-ho! A special delivery from Daddy-Postie. What’s that tasty looking piece of eminently munchable paper for, Pixie? It’s a Christmas card – and it’s for us, Bear! Oh yes, look. […]

We three pigs . . . . wish you all a Jolly Christmastide and a very Plumptious New Year! Lots of love and magic from Fairy, Pixie and Bear xxx (oh! And not forgetting our human slaves, Mildred and Ian xxx)  

With Christmas Day only a few short sleeps away – Fairy is in the Piggery, getting very excited.   Hmmmh, let me see now, who is this wonderfully beautiful, hand crafted creation from? I recognise the paw-writing. Oh goodness me – it’s from my favourite ever Princess, Auntie Alice. How clever of her – it’s […]

It is that time of year for our two new arrivals to be introduced to the noble tradition of posing for a Christmas family portrait. Unfortunately, not all Piggies are as co-operative and naturally adept as Fairy! Here’s Bear to explain . . . Oooooo-errrrr, don’t look now – I must be dreaming. Treats keep […]

Well hello there my loyal followers. As you will all know by now, I take great pride in my appearance and personal grooming. To maintain the impossibly high standards I have established I rely on only the very best and efficacious products. So it was with great excitement that I opened today’s post and out […]

There was great excitement and a good deal of traditional British Pomp & Ceremony at the Piggery today. It was our OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY. We were indeed fortunate to have secured the services of Princess Alice and Dame Rachel to perform the necessaries. Early this morning an exuberant audience gasped in wonder as our royal guests arrive […]

My Mummy says patience is a virtue, whatever that is supposed to mean. She has been wait, wait, waiting 15 very odd years for a super dooper bespoke Piggery. Hummmph – that seems like a very long wait indeed, poor Mummy. I suppose you would need to be very patient and very virtuous to wait […]

Are YOU looking for the perfect pampurring session for your piggy? Look no further. My recently opened Fairy’s Very Posh Piggery Pig Spa offers ALL the very latest in modern spa type beauty treatments – with light lunches and snacks included for VIP’s (Very Important Pigs). To avoid paw stomping disappointment, advance booking is highly advisable. […]

I have been told to show you the ropes, Pixie. Being a top model myself I know all about posing for the camera, you know. Here we go – SMILE FOR THE CAMERA! Say ‘grass’, Bear! Grass? GRASS? Did someone mention grass? Fairy, where have you hidden the grass? I think Fairy has eaten it […]

Oooooh, errrr, howdy Fairy Fans. Fairy has decided that the time has come for us budding young starlets to write and star in our very first story – so here goes. Ready Pixie? Ready! Ready Bear? Ready! Roll em! Well I could be wrong, but it looks to me as if it must be nearly […]

Now then my people, what have we here then? Oh yes, I remember! It is almost that time of year to perform spookily scary Halloween type things involving witches hats and pumpkins and, and, and all things orange. Right ho. This year I have two new souls to conjure with. Listen up you two – if you […]

Is this our new salad bowl, Daddy? It’s not exactly ‘ample’ is it? It came in a jolly big box though. Hummm, this could be quite useful. Actually, I have just formulated a brilliant and cunning plan, and this box will be ideal for its furtherance. Daddy, we need to discuss this in private, please. Can you […]

Hello there my adoring friends – I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, ‘Doesn’t Fairy look Soooooo Sweeeeeet in her cosy, white-dot-on-green-grass-look-a-like wrapper-upper blankie device’! And you are right! I DO look sweet, SO SWEET! ‘Cos it says so! Well anyway, it was nice for you to see me test driving my new […]

Crikey Bear. Is this . . . it can’t be?! It IS Pixie! We are IN Fairy’s very own legendary super car! You drive, Pixie, I will try to keep these pesky hitch-hiker type Mousies in order. Oh-ho! I knew it was too good to last! Looks like we have another passenger, Bear. I’d like to […]

Oi (from across the other side of the kitchen) is that OUR tea? It’s just that there appear to be ONIONS in that salad. Mehhhh! Phew! This looks much better! Delightfully onion free I note. Oh yes, mmmm, nom. This will do very nicely – compliments to the chef! And, for some of the more […]

Line up, line up . . . form an orderly queue! Oh, ok, let’s just get stuck in then! Nom, nom, nom . . . PIXIE, did you just BURP? No! I am far too polite! Do you like my hay hat . . .  followers of fashion would say it’s fascinating!! It’s seems very […]

What! Where are you two off to then? Shhh! Don’t tell Fairy, I’ll just check in here for her secret salad stash!   Hummmph – looks very cosy. Perhaps I’ll just sneak in for a crafty little snoozlet. Oh, there you are Fairy, at last. I was just going to keep it warm for you – […]

Jolly nice salad, chef! Thanks! Hum . . . it all looks quite a lot for little me!   Oh good, here’s some help in the shape of a Bear!   Hehe! And I knew a little Pixie would be willing to help out!   C’mon girls, tuck in!   Crumbs! Looks like Pixie doesn’t […]

Hello – is there room in there for little ‘un? WHAT? ME? PUSH? Oh okay then. what with my mighty strength and magic Fairy-Powers I will soon have this wagon rolling. Heave . . . oh just a grass-picking minute, they must be joking. But don’t worry, we already have a man-powered engine on paw. […]

C’mon you lot! Where are we going, Fairy? This way everyone. Look sharp! Fairy won’t notice me stopping for a wee smackerel! What ARE you doing, Bear? Who has been eating MY snacks? Oh-ho! I WAS spotted! I wasn’t! Good job there’s plenty of grass for everyone. It’s nice here, isn’t it Pixie . . […]

Everything and everyone is ready for off! I am ready too – let’s hit the road! What’s this? We seem to be crossing the border into Scotland. Are we nearly there yet? One hour later . . . Not only are we THERE we are on our way back now – with extra cargo! Hold […]

Whoooo! What’s all this then? And WHO is disturbing my ‘copter-nap? Oh, it’s Dougal . . . and those snow-bright-white-polar BEARS. Keep the noise down. Errr, don’t look now chaps, but Dougal has forgotten to put his white suit on.   Who’s this? Oh not to panic, it’s only daddy.   ‘Come on out, my […]

Our dear Marigold has had some health issues recently. We made the decision (the one we all dread) to let Marigold leave with some dignity on Friday. Her health deteriorated over Thursday night, but she seemed to enjoy her romp at 7am when she and Fairy went into the Piggy Palace where they both always […]

Right then my adoring fans, after weeks of eager anticipation it’s time to put aside all those brochures and for Mr Bear and me to set off on our jolly holidays. There’s just the small matter of the packing left to do.   So Mr Bear, I hope you have been following my carefully written […]

Greetings my loyal friends and followers. It’s here! The day you have all been looking forward to for simply ages, is HERE! I am THREE today! Yippee and everything. Yes, I am all big and grown up now. I can’t believe my eyes, a jolly big party has been laid on for little ol’ me, […]

Greetings my loyal subjects. Apparently there are lots of Street Parties and everything in the UK today –  are Roads and Motorways invited too? There is also a huge flotilla of boats type pageant extravaganza going on down the River Thames in London town. All this festivity must be to do with MY upcoming Birthday. […]

  Fairy is what is known as a Lethal White Guinea Pig. She basically has a genetic ‘fault’ due to certain breeding conditions. She is blind and deaf and like many LW’s she has problems with her teeth. Because of the way they are formed they require regular trimming as they do not meet and […]

Greetings my people – and welcome to a lovely sunny spot in the garden where I am sure you will all be eagerly awaiting my latest pontifications. So here goes. Many of my loyal followers will be familiar with the term ‘Spring Cleaning’. Although more usually applied to what ones Personal Piggy Palace goes through […]

Good morning my people. I had a dream last night that Summer is finally on it’s way. Time to prepare myself for the beach! I am all signed-up for a very special course Mr Bear is running on how to do something complicated with a folding chair. Sounds a bit barmy to me – but […]

Those of you that read my holiday investigation series a few days ago will know, after careful sizing up the facts and what not, I opted for the Lazy Days Holiday. Having a little snoop around the internet I found this advert for Training Your Deckchair. Get me booked in, Mum! And just in case […]

But Marigold, it MIGHT be MY Birthday. When they were handing out the Birthday-dates, maybe they gave you MY Birthday so that must mean that this Birthday that is yours is actually, more than likely in fact, mine. Why can’t it be MY Birthday? What’s that? I can share YOUR Birthday? Well, that’s just the […]

Due to other engagements Fairy and the team couldn’t make the Royal Wedding. They wish the happy couple happiness, health and lots of salad and want to remind you of The Wedding of the Year and the Grand Wedding Reception last year!

Well, what do we have here then? It appears to be my very own Piglet-sized Mum and Dad lolling about on the beach with the infamous Great, Great Auntie Mavis pawed with her bucket and spade. Looks like fun! It reminds me it’s time yours truly (that’s ME) should decide where to take my yearly […]

Hummmph – either someone has tidied away the view (Mummy), or someone is trying to sneak up on me. Funnily enough, I have spotted the odd couple of strange ears on the horizon lately. Marigold, have you spotted any stranger than usual going on type things in the ‘strange ears on the horizon’ department recently? […]

Hello, hello and hello thrice! My eyesight might not be all that spot on . . . but isn’t that a . . .   SQUIRREL getting into MY BED?   I am NOT telling tales, honestly.   You needn’t look at ME like that. And you can stop shaking your bushy tail at me, […]

Hello there my loyal and dedicated Fairy Followers. It won’t have egg-scaped your notice that Easter is upon us and my world famous egg-stravagent generosity towards Mousie type beasties knows no bounds. Here I am delivering  their soufflé doop-fflé Easter Eggs. How egg-citing for them!   Whoooooops – I just performed a wheelie! Quick scramble out of […]

The endlessly interesting thing about being surrounded by lots and lots of pesky mousie type babes is – they are very inquisitive critters who are always asking lots of deep and meaningful questions. Mostly concerning cheese it must be said, but occasionally something a little more profound. This morning I was visited by a very earnest young […]

Welcome to Fairy’s Marvellous Magical Marmalade Factory Hello my adoring fans and other people. I’m glad you could join me on this historic day in Fairy’s Fruitery. We have been selected by a very important group of Magical Marmalade big-wigs to be visited by an even more important celebrity type someone for possible inclusion in […]

Daddy is back home, safe and sound and all ready to administer to ME, dishing out his super-cuddles like there’s no tomorrow. AND he brought GIFTS for those deserving of them. That will be ME then . . . . a jolly red bag filled with a Fairy-treat, no doubt. That’s handy! Well, this is […]

My Daddy has left home! Don’t worry, it’s only for two days and while I am not one to complain, much, there are times when I just need a jolly good scritch. Remember these? My patented, shiny new invention was just the job when I was Daddy-less last time. They are just the right pudginess, […]

Squeak! Squeak! Errrrr – Auntie Fairy – it looks like Mummy has forgotten to dust the garden this morning – either that or she’s been baking and has run amok with the icing sugar! Don’t be silly little mousey types – it’s been snowing. Go on, off you go and explore. Wowee – this snow […]

Mummy has been telling me lately that I must be very careful not to get into a Jam – she didn’t say anything about Marmalade though! Ha! Fooled you! I’m not getting all sticky in here, but according to Mummy, it is Marmalade making time! These super-duper oranges are only available early in the year. […]

What’s this then? Hummmph – Looks like someone has written this card all upside-down. Muuuuuuummmy – come quick – can you read upside-down writing???? Oooooooh – this looks like a super hooper dooper Auntie Serena Calender. What a wonderful way to count the days until the Piggolympics Event of The Year  (officially known as the […]

Being a connoisseur of cuddles and ear rubs I wish to present how you too can get the best out of your human. First off, get yourself all comfy and cosy and flopped. In this example I make sure my daddy’s left paw is suitably placed to make a perfect resting place for my front […]

See more of Taj Mahal and his lovely family! Guinea Pig Magazine – out today!

Our beautiful Princess, Mariella, passed away unexpectedly yesterday.   My best friend . . . And bravest passenger . . . My ‘copter-snitcher . . . but I didn’t mind! The best Birthday guest ever! And always there to test the latest ‘topper’ . . . Our Princess . . . September 2009 – January […]

Here’s my 2011 Christmas Quiz. Don’t go expecting any prizes but I WILL KNOW if you manage to finish it and then I will send some invisible Fairy-Magic-Wishes your way! If you need a Piggy-Sized image, then nip over to Flickr!

Oh come all ye faithful (followers)! Joy to the world (of mice) – Fairy is come amongst you! It’s time for my pre-Christmas address to the Fairy type nation. Just a minute! Who are YOU then? Mr Robin? Hum . . . birds don’t eat salad do they? No? Oh well, you can stay seeing […]

Right everyone, get snuggled in. Mummy says it’s not too long to go now before Santa will be nipping down our chimney (why he can’t use the door like everyone else is beyond me!), so we had better start to be all good and everything. That’s it Mariella, get the sherry and mince pie all […]

Ho ho ho and all that festive malarkey! I am really getting into the Christmas spirit and today’s the big day – it’s time to get the jolly old tree up! Looks like Mummy and Daddy have started without me – blooming cheek! Very errr . . . . nice. Lacking a few salad related […]

Oh come all ye faithful, tra la – friends, new callers here for the very first time (and what took you so long, may I ask?) and my best, most Important New Best Friend,  Raj Mahal. It is time to ready ourselves for that special time of the year once again. The day will soon […]

My new Gorgeous Guineas shampoo has arrived just in time for tomorrow’s communal bath. Am I REALLY going to have a bath with Marigold AND Mariella, Mum? Good job we have a BIG BATH is all I can say.

Greetings my people. Fairy here, your very own Plutocratic type business mogul. Welcome to my Extraordinfairy Emergency General and Very Important Meeting. I held a big vote before you all arrived and you will doubtless be relieved to hear that I was elected Chair-Fairy – unanimously. So, let’s get straight on with things and let’s […]

Right-ho my people, grab your Pinnies, we are going to be very busy in the kitchen. Today is officially ‘Stir-Up Sunday’. The day when everyone who’s anyone bakes something tasty in anticipation of that far and distant date, Christmas day. Before I go any further though, I am just a tad concerned you may have […]

Hello Fairy-Followers, Friends and fans! If it is a while since you last deigned to pay a visit then you really need to read my previous missive – Fairy Tries Her Hand At Inventing, it would appear that it has got me noticed by a certain whiskery personage! I have an admirer! Yes, yes I […]

Oh, hello there! I am just having some quality time with my Daddy. Can you just scritch a bit higher Daddy? Down a bit . . . . up a bit! Oooh! That’s really perfect! What a lovely, jolly useful Daddy. What’s that, Daddy? You are going away for a couple of days? Eeeeeeek! WHEN […]

This post also appears on Guinea Pig Today Fairy: Welcome to ‘Fairy Asks The Big Questions’ and an extra big, piggy-type welcome to my Mummy who has kindly agreed to be interviewed today. Mummy, your life changed on June 11th 2009, can you tell us why? Mildred: I certainly can! That was the day a […]

It’s Halloween but don’t worry – there are NO such thing as GHOSTS! And if there was a GHOST? Yikes! I’d get in my magic hat . . . with Mr Bear to protect ME! All this talk of silly ghosties has made me want a cuddle . . . not that I am frightened […]

I am back! I went for a jolly long flight but I am here, safe and sound, on terra firma – well, actually I am perched atop a Quince at this exact moment – Hey, Mum! What are we doing with these Quincey type fruits then? Oh well, I did ask. Looks like my salad, […]

Psst! Mr Bear! There seems to be a . . . new Fairy thingy! Is it pour moi? Wow – look, it’s got WINGS and everything. Is this seat arrangement sufficiently errr, ‘ample’, to accommodate for my furry little behind? Hum . . . at least its got a brake pedal! What’s all that ‘Joystick’ […]

Some of you lucky people who follow my antics on the super-duper Guinea Lynx Forum will recall the recent excitement when I held a little competition to guess how many beds, cosies, hideys and houses and things I had acquired. Here’s how it all came about. Gather round, make yourselves comfy as I announce the […]

Hello . . . . HELLO! Is there anyone out there? I am here – in HERE! I KNOW you can’t SEE me, but I AM here! I am busy right now, being a little Flower-Fairy . . . can you come back later, please . . . Hehehe! That should keep all my viewers […]

You guessed!!!!! For those of you that didn’t (humph!), here’s another little clue. . . .

All clear left! Check the mirror – and we’re off! Toot, TOOT! Watch out everyone, Fairy’s behind the wheel. What a glorious day for a spiffing drive in the country. No canoodling in the back. I’ve got my eye on you two! Now then, before we go any further, I think you ought to know […]

Oh hello. Would you mind keeping the noise down a bit? I am trying to have my nap. I am worn to a furry frazzle. Why? You may well ask. I was up all last night meddling in a certain Minty and Monty Mouses affairs – it is their Wedding Anniversary tomorrow and knowing what […]

We have a problem. In between snacking and snoozing, and snacking a bit more, all I keep hearing are mutterances about the garden. The gist of it is, the long, cold winter killed a load of plants off. Well, it isn’t a problem now! Mum! Look at all these nice new plants I’ve found for […]

As many of my you know, my online friends, the Weaver family in America, recently lost everything when they were hit by a tornado. I can’t put it any better than this Blog post. If you want to help you can send a donation. Every Pound or Dollar will help Marsha, her family and pets. […]

What’s this then? And where’s the food, if you don’t mind me asking? Pfhuff! It’s got funny little Fairies here and there, but they are not proper Fairies. We ALL know what a proper Fairy looks like. ‘scuse me! Anyone! What’s this for then? I think there has been a mistake. Oh! OHHHH! LOOK at […]

Help! HELP!! HEEEEEEELP! Let me out NOW – this minute! What’s all that noisy, squeaky fuss about, Marigold? There’s an awful lot of ‘language’ coming from somewhere! There does seem to be rather a lot of noise. Never mind. Lets just ignore it. Look – we are about to get our photo taken. Smile sweetly […]

Ahoy! I say! AHOY THERE! Chocks away! I am going to sail my my beautiful new boat on a voyage across the seas. Errr . . . what do you mean, ‘I have to row’? Isn’t it powered by anything? Well, I’ll soon see about that! That’s it, Marigold – row, row, row the boat, […]

Hello, Fairy here! I have to admit to feeling somewhat muddled today. I keep thinking I am seeing things, it must be my age . . . or lack of food or something. Whatever it is, it is serious – come on, I’ll show you what . . . Here’s WHAT! Look! A small, round, […]

Fairy . . . oh, Fairy! Wakey, wakey! *blows gently on a Fairy-flap* Oh crumbs! What does she want now . . . . fuff and fum! I was just having a nice nap in my brand new, snuggly, buggly, cosy, dozy bed. Oh hello! What! What do you want now . . . Look […]

Hello! What do we have here then . . . is this what I think it is? I DO know what it is, I do, I do, I have just forgotten the word for it . . . anyway, it must be a present for me seeing as it’s landed here, right under my nose. […]

I am just getting a bit of practice in ready for my forthcoming Driving Test. Being the generous little piggy I am, I offered Marigold and Mariella a ride today. Hang on in there, you two! I am just going to get my paw down and go for a bit of a zoom! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Nieooooooooooooooooooow! […]

Peeep! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Look out everyone! Here I come! Brumm-brumm . . . brumm-brumm! Watch out – make way! Am I doing ok, Mum? I like driving – I don’t even think I need driving lessons! It might be a different matter when I get those two back seat drivers in with me though. I […]

Oh! You’ve caught me in the act! I am just undoing another present! It must be for me, what with pink packaging and what-not. It tastes a bit funny. That’s odd! It isn’t an edible gift! Well, let’s be having a sniff under here . . . pfhoof, it smells SHINY! It’s a HAT! Well, […]

Christmas is all over but don’t worry, it’s the New Year now! I hope it brings you health and happiness, cuddles and kisses, salads galore and all good things like that! It is also a time to make something called ‘resolutions’. When you are a small piggy like me, with so much to think about, […]

SANTA! Here I am, all dressed up and ready for Christmas in my tastefully designed seasonal snuglage ensemble. Speech? SPEECH? Did I hear you say? Oh ok then – you asked for it! (Here I go then, in my best posh regal type accent). Dear readers, followers, fans and what have yous, welcome. Christmas is, […]

Ho, Ho and thrice Ho! Fairy here, your internationally renowned spirit of Christmas. Well, just to further illustrate what a selfless little bundle of philanthropic joy I am, I’m throwing a Festive Tea Party for Minty and Monty and the Pesky Mousie Babes so they can all show their appreciation for me and all my […]

Snow, snow and more snow! I expect you thought that is what you would find here today. Well, you were wrong! Nasty cold wet stuff that sticks to my whiskers – brrrr! So instead I am bringing you a little bit of summer. Sit down on a nice comfy chair, put your paws up and […]

This is the life, what ho and all that. I am not sure why Daddy needs BOTH his paws to support me though, I’m not THAT big . . . am I? Did I hear him say his arms are aching, goodness me, whatever next? Humph! Back in my cuddle cup now – mind you, […]

Fairy is well known the world over for her generosity and philanthropic good works. This year she has truly excelled herself! Not only does she feature on the 2011 Guinea Lynx Calendar, a rather fetching portrait as Miss April, enhanced by having the beautiful Marigold on the cover, she is also immensely proud to spearhead […]

As the nights draw in and Fairy’s thoughts turn to ensuring maximum night time comfort and cosiness, The Fairy Palace has taken delivery of a brand new sleep device, guaranteed to provide suitable softiness and snoozability. Here we find our pint sized hero about to embark on its very first test drive – with a […]

My dearly beloved people. You have all been gathered here today, at my great personal inconvenience I might add, to hear the latest of my very important proclamations delivered on my specially commissioned Soapbox. An Announcement of such import that even little ol’ me is getting very excited! Tee hee. Humph, you two have finally […]

Hello loyal friends and dedicated Fairy followers. As if life isn’t scary enough for a sensitive little piggy such as me, my mousey family mentioned that something called Halloween was happening and Halloween meant everything would be ghostly and witchy and scary and pumpkiny and . . . actually, I am not sure where pumpkins […]

It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about. Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it? What does it say on this here […]

Hummph! Has my super sized, snuggly SMUGG boot shrunk? I can’t seem to get in to it properly. Just a minute, there are some kind of furry obstruction type things getting in my way. Fearless Fairy will have to investigate – gulp! Oh I might have known – a pair of Mousies! What on earth […]

I was just having a quiet nose around the house and came across this interesting object. Now what ever can it be? Now then, I might just have a little look into that interesting top bit. Ah, just as I suspected – methinks it looks like a perfect Mariella-free snuggling zone. Onwards and upwards! Can […]

What do we have here then? Looks like a fan has sent me another present – all the way from Germany! It’s a goodly sized box. I wonder what it could be! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be exciting. I hope it’s salad. I have it on very good authority that German salad is […]

Now then my people – let’s see what the weather is going to be like today. If it’s all little fluffy white clouds and gentle cooling breezes, I might initiate the inaugural flight of my brand new, top of the range, super splendiferous Fairycopter. And not a pesky baby mousey in sight! Well, I can’t […]

Right Ho my hearties – it’s time to pose for our annual official portrait picture photo thingy. Try to look stately and imposing Marigold. Just like me. Everyone say “Fairy”! Mummy wanted us to squeeze together a bit. Fufff. Trust Mariella to take things too far. And I do not need a comb-over type toupee […]

What ho! I may be able to fly a carrot through the wide blue skies and beyond – but who would have thought that a real life wooden pig might fly too? Just give me two ticks while I get cleared for take off and locate the accelerator pedal thingy, and check the horn – […]

. . . earlier today in the Thatched Cottage Garden . . . What’s that orange thing over there, Petunia? I don’t know, Marmaduke. Maybe it has been sent here by a vastly superior intelligence from a galaxy far, far away. Either that or the local supermarket’s delivery service has got the order wrong again! […]

We find our pals busily sitting around happily doing nothing – but all is not as it seems.  There is a simmering mood of discontent coming inexorably to the boil, emanating from the hairy occupant of the cheese chair. Hummph, Hummmph and thrice Hummmmph! What ails you sweet Fairy? You don’t appear to be your […]

Recently, Fairy took her big sisters for a spin on her Magic Carrotty-Comfort-Cushion, which also doubles as a disguised spaceship! Fairy: C’mon everyone, all aboard! Fasten your seat-belts, if they will reach! We’ll have to hurry, it looks like rain. Hold on tight . . . here we go . . . . *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnooou* make […]

Marigold: Mum said ‘no tea’ and to sit still and behave! Look, she’s got that black box with the funny lens thing again! Marigold: Look over there though, there’s that nice sweetcorn mine . . . . Fairy: Marigold, behave and look at the camera thingy. Mariella: Yes, it looks yummy. I am partial to […]

Being a faithful Fairy follower, you will already know that I am well known for being exceptionally fond of my food. I find that when one isn’t actively engaged in the process of eating then reading all about it is the very next best thing. These quaint old salad recipes are making my mouth water. […]

I know what you are thinking – how could Fairy possibly leave all that spare lovely bright shiny sweet corn leaf treasure behind? Well – she didn’t! Just after the last photo was taken . . . Mummy – can you come quickly? Oh, and bring lots of carrier bags with you please! A few […]

Nanny Fairy here people, my good works and kindnesses to bestow. Minty and Monty wanted a quiet day out together today, probably to get me a big prize or plan a huge surprise party for me or something of that me-centred nature. I, of course, volunteered to look after all the baby mices for them. […]

Everyone knows what a busy little bee I am, but my absolute favourite job has to be sending out parcels to my friends! Wrapping up a pressie in my own special logo-ed tissue paper, adding a personalised card and not forgetting a liberal sprinkle of special Fairy Magic and then imagining the parcel speeding off […]

Now then, settle down you two. You’ve been pacing about like a cat on a hot . . . oops, sorry about the indelicate feline reference there. No offence! Everything comes to those who wait – including the Postman. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong* Oh-ho. Is that the doorbell? That’ll be him […]

I didn’t know the new babies would be such hard work, Monty. I am just about at my tails end trying to cope with everything. I haven’t slept in nights! They don’t give me a moment’s peace – look at them! It’s bedtime now and they simply won’t settle down and go to sleep! Don’t […]

That grass growing experiment we did recently went very well. The only problem being that there wasn’t quite enough to grow round, so to speak. Actually, there might well have been if Mariella had been put on a strict diet. I know, I was the only one who thought she should be on one! Anyway, […]

Righty ho. This looks like the perfect spot to show off my horticultural expertise. Just need to get all my equipment spread out. These little plastic pots are just the ticket! Now then, you two can be my Posse. Pay close attention, look photogenic and don’t forget to make me look good. Don’t say too […]

Hello my people. I am often asked by someone, what is the ideal number of piggy’s in a household? Well, we were given a present of this super-dooper, attractive sign thing by my piggy-daddy, Ernie, the other day. And, by jingo, it’s just the job for helping me to answer that very important question. Take […]

C’mon you two, we’re moving lawns! Look, the grass is greener over yonder! Pack your cuddle cups and snoozing bags, and bring plenty of nourishing snacks for the journey. We’d better get topped up, Marigold, Fairy usually knows what she is munching about . . . . nom, nom, nom. I don’t know why we […]

Dear The Manager, The Grow-It-Yourself-Grass Company, It is Fairy here again. I recently had the privilege of sampling a tray of your delicious grass, and very good it was too. However, before I could even enjoy it for a second time, my so called loving sisters managed to sneak in and gobble up every last […]

G’day my people! I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important. I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one! Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see […]

It is a lovely warm Sunday afternoon and the sun is shining. There is a light cooling breeze to gently ruffle my silky fur as I sit here snacking on my Grow-It-Yourself-Grass. Life is truly wonderful! Now, where was I? Oh yes – nom, nom, nom . . . Humm, now, where are those two […]

It may not have escaped the more astute followers of my Blog that Marigold and Mariella, my half sisters, are rather more ‘traditionally built’ than my svelte, lithe self. This is due the the vast quantities of salad they consume. As well as their regular meals – breakfast, mid morning snacks, late morning snacks, lunch, […]

Fairy really appreciates how lucky she is to have a happy, loving home here with her sisters, Marigold and Mariella. She enjoys top quality Guinea Pig food, has a beautiful bedroom, gym, playroom and garden. She has a personal specialist healthcare advisor and dentist. She has regular baths, cuddles, ear rubs and chin tickles. Her […]

I received lots of lovely gifts for my Birthday the other day but one in particular was most welcome: Grow-it-yourself Grass! Our good friends at Gorgeous Guineas sent me a bag of magical seed things which Daddy planted for me. We watered them every day and now look! Lots of yummy, tall, extra fresh tasting […]
