Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.

However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

If this happens, please email me at [email protected] and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.

I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

Both Esther and Aria agreed. It had been a long cold winter. Even this late into the year,

0:12.5

the days were plagued with chill winds, overcast skies, flurries of snow, and ice-covered puddles.

0:20.4

But that didn't stop Esther and Aria from getting outside into the flurries of snow and ice-covered puddles.

0:26.7

But that didn't stop Esther and Aria from getting outside into the fresh cold air.

0:33.2

They'd pulled on their boots and warm coats, wrapped up in their scarves, hats and gloves, and set out into the forest looking for signs of spring.

0:37.9

Oh, it feels like it's been winter forever, said Esther, as they trudged across the frost-covered ground.

0:45.4

My mom says she can't remember it ever being this cold so late into the year before, added Aria.

0:51.7

1:40.6

began Esta, before cutting herself off with a sharp intake of breath.

1:46.1

Aria saw it, too, and grabbed her friend's arm tightly.

1:50.5

Lying at the base of the flower was a fairy.

1:53.7

She was dressed in clothes stitched from leaves, and her long, dark hair was piled upon her head

2:00.1

and held in place with a tiny twig.

2:03.0
