Instead of doing anything I had planned on doing I sat in the (luckily) sunny garden with Cecil. My knee was too painful to move much so I had to just stop and read. When I was at my mother's house the other day I saw in my old room an old favourite book, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr. I hadn't picked it up in a long time and it was a lovely little read. It made me want to read/watch The Secret Garden and A Little Princess and I thought about how strange it would be to wake up as a child with the memories of life up until now... I'm kinda glad I am not a child in this day and age! I think I was born in the wrong era as it is!
Oh how amazing would it be if Doctor Who was real and he gave you the chance to go anywhere in space or time! Would you re-visit something in your lifetime or a time from way back!? Or would you visit another planet? I'd be hard pushed to choose! I mean dinosaurs or the 1930's? A Whole new solar system and planets or our planet when the forests and jungles were at their pinnacle? There is always the future too I guess but the past seems so attractive to me despite all of the hard times... I will leave it with a picture of the pretty Amy from the Van Gogh Doctor Who episode...
