Where Stories Come From

Watching my 18 month old son, I can see where authors got their ideas.

So far at 16 Months he was climbing into my wardrobe and trying to sit on the shelf! He also hides things, like his toys, shoes and toothbrush in my Wardrobe. (Narnia and The Indian in the Cupboard)

Today witness one small boy, who can't talk and has no idea about either Santa Clause or Mary Poppins, sitting in my bedroom, at the fireplace, (original Victorian should you wish to know the minutiae) shouting up the chimney and having a burbling conversation with whoever is up there!!!

We are off to the park today to take some autumn photos, armed with his daftest winter hat and coat to get our shots for the Christmas card. Last year he sat by the chimney in a little red hohoho suit and sack of toys, posing as the Great Man Himself. This year we aren't dressing up- we are going with a leaf throwing/stomping theme!! Of course it is also an opportunity for Mummy to get some practice in with her new digital SLR.
