Autobiographical Anecdote

        Dancing around on a big fluffy cloud having a picnic with a life size Barbie and having a great time! Life couldn’t get much better…

        “Come on now sweetheart, time to get up now and get ready because you have a busy day ahead of you. Come on,” I heard a voice which I immediately recognised as my mum’s. I slowly sat up and it dawned on me that my mum had just woken me up and interrupted my dreams which she rarely ever did unless we were going anywhere, I suddenly brightened up.
