In Truro, whilst waiting in a cafe for our BBC Radio Cornwall interview Michael sighted an old friend passing the window. The artist and storyteller joined us and told us of his encounter with a real live dragon in the Welsh Marches near to where there were a number of churches dedicated to St.Michael ((Llanfihangel) He challenged us to answer the riddle: what creature flies like a dragon and defends its gold with a powerful sting? It was drawing towards the end of Autumn but the weather was still warm - a 'Haf bach Mihangel' - St.Michael's little summer. by Lynne Denman
