Sir, – You were right. I can confirm that fairies were indeed responsible for decorating the Christmas tree along the Sally Gap in Co Wicklow ("There's every chance it was the fairies", December 24th).
A total of 10 hardy biking fairies, with baubles adorning their wings, made the arduous journey from Dublin to a lonely tree along the Military Road. A support team met them at the top with mulled wine and good cheer. If you zoom in on the photo, you’ll see the names of all the people who donated money to the No Bucks Homeless Outreach Bus, an umbrella project established by the Tiglin Rehab Centre. Parked on Marlborough Street in Dublin every Thursday evening, volunteers offer tea, food, warmth and chat to those needing it. A total of €750 (and counting!) was raised on the Bikes and Baubles Cycle challenge. – Yours, etc,
CHARLOTTE BISHOP,
