The Real Fee Pano Satyr in natural and tan resin arrived 6th August, 2015. He was such a jolly looking fellow I wasn't sure whether or not he was going to fit what I had in mind.
However, once I began thinking of him as Nomios, everything fell into place.
Nomios, a young relative of the great Pan, is much smaller in stature than most if his companions. He is an excellent shepherd though and a wonderful guardian to all the animals living in the Elvin Forest. The hedgehog, red squirrel, mole and stoat, as well as the dormice and bank voles are just a few of the many forest animals in his care (possibly because they are small like him).
May is his favourite season and he is extremely fond of simply wandering through the forest watching the shafts of sunlight playing onto carpets of bluebells. And as the flowers appear, so do the butterflies, it is such a pretty sight to behold.
In as much as Nomios cares for all the animals, it's this time of year when he bows to the wishes of Mother Nature. The rabbits have been breeding since late winter and with numerous rather naïve youngsters busily cropping the grass, he allows the foxes and stoats to satisfy their own requirements.
Nomios has a beautiful smile which can be quite seductive when the mood strikes and he has managed to acquire a reputation as a ladies man. He is also very musical and has a strong passion for playing the flute, though his is not at all like the flute of the great Pan.
