Magical

Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/03/11/share-your-world-11th-march/

1. What was your favourite pastime as a child? I loved playing with my Cindy. British version of Barbie. I had a big blue bag full of stuff. I had an Action Man too. My neighbour’s children had so much. Their loft was wall to wall toys. My parents weren’t well off, but I valued what I had.
2. Did you use colouring pencils, fibre tips, or wax crayons for your childhood drawings? I used colouring pens, pencils or wax crayons.
3. Did you use a paint box or have a ‘magic’ book where you only needed to brush the page with water? I remember those, and it was good fun, because you never coloured outside of the line.
4. What kind of books did you read as a child? Katie, What Katie did Next, The Twins of St Claire’s, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven.

I am grateful for having the chance to learn to read. Each book I have ever opened has transported me to a magical place.

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.

  1. Your childhood memories reflect resilience and joy in simple things despite limited resources. It’s heartwarming to hear how you found happiness in toys like Cindy dolls and Action Man, as well as in coloring with various tools.
