The Isle of Neverwas

Hello, dearest daydreamer. Welcome back to the Isle of Neverwas. It is finally spring, the days are longer, and colour is returning to the island. Trees are unfurling their leaves, flowers are blooming, and the days are warmer.  We have a special story for you today from Travelling Ava's journal. The last time we heard from our adventurer, she had followed a strange light that had accidentally tra...

Today, daydreamer, we are going for a walk along Bubble Beach. Follow the winding road from Slumber-on-Sea, past the sailor’s cottages, and meet me at the harbour wall. This is where we will start our walk together.

This year Easter has been extra special because I joined in with my first ever Easter egg hunt. It was lots of fun, and like most of my best adventures it happened quite by accident. For my daydreamers, mischief-makers, and restless souls, a story from the journal of Travelling Ava about Rosa Bubble Bunny and an Easter egg hunt.

You, my dearheart, are joining us on an incredibly special day. Today is the last day of Yule. Let's celebrate the return of the sun and greet the new year with hopeful intentions. Our story continues at Bubble Beach.

It is the eleventh day of Yule, New Year's Eve, a time for celebration and joy. Are you ready for a party? The fairy folk are all dressed up, and they have their dancing shoes on. It's time for another story.

Our lives are filled with tiny rituals. During deep mid-winter, these moments help us feel connected to our environment. Our routines help us feel grounded in the present and bring with them joy and hope. Our rituals can help to bring some light to the darkest of days.     It is day ten of Yule, and time for our islanders to prepare for the new year. If you are sitting comfortably, then let's spen...

It is day eight of the island's Yule celebrations. This is a time of abundance and generosity. You, my daydreamer, have arrived in Slumber-on-Sea in time for a very special concert. Tonight’s performance is a carol concert. Some of the carols will be familiar to you, with songs like Silent Night and We Three Kings sung by everyone. Other songs will be new to you; they are traditional fairy folk so...

The weather has remained frosty, and the air is fizzing with excitement. Today is the seventh day of Yule, and we are heading to Willow Stream to go ice skating. It is a beautiful, bright, sunny day, and the sky is a deep turquoise blue. Small wisps of white cloud dust the sky. The sun glistens off the crisp snow, and the ice sparkles. When the weather is this cold, Willow Stream freezes,  a thick...

The time following the Yule Feast focuses on renewal. It is an opportunity to enjoy all the small moments, to slow down, and welcome the new year with joy and hope. Today is the sixth day of Yule, and you, my dearest daydreamer, are joining Sally the Cat and her friends for a walk along Bubble Beach.

You, my dearheart, have woken up in the library of Castle Nod. It isn't quite dawn yet, and it is still dark outside. The heavy library curtains are open just a little. You can see that snow has continued to fall through the night. Today is the fifth day of Yule, and we are continuing our celebration at Castle Nod. Today is Christmas Day, let's spend a few heartbeats together and continue our stor...

Let's spend a few heartbeats together and continue our story. You are in the Great Hall of Castle Nod. The Yule log continues to burn in the fireplace, watched over by the mountain trolls.

Today is a very special day on the Isle of Neverwas; it is the third day of Yule and the beginning of three days of community, celebration, and feasting. Let's spend a few heartbeats together and share a story.

Travelling Ava is an adventurer, explorer, and magical travelling doll. This wasn't her first trip through a magical portal, but it was her first time getting stuck. Not all her adventures go to plan, but let's be honest, if everything goes to plan, can you even call it an adventure?

Hello Daydreamer, I hope you are well. Have you got a nice cup of tea? A biscuit? Are you sitting comfortably? Let us spend a few heartbeats together and share a story. This story is Pixie’s introduction to her longest and bestest friend, Bumble.

You are different; you are a daydreamer and a mischief-maker. You have an open heart and open mind, and your natural curiosity draws you towards the glowing light. You can't resist going for a closer look. This light is a doorway, a magical portal that transports you to the Isle of Neverwas. Are you ready for an adventure?

The only way to reach the Isle of Neverwas is by travelling through a magical portal. The problem for travellers and explorers wanting to visit the island is that it is really hard to find because it keeps moving and changing shape and size. Listen to Pixie and Bumble's guide to the Portal.

Have you ever lost your keys, misplaced the remote control, or found that you have more odd socks than pairs of socks? Do you sometimes feel like your belongings disappear in front of you? Chances are your possessions have fallen through the portal and have found their way to the Isle of Neverwas. Listen for a moment and find out more about the Lost and Found Exchange.
