When I was a little girl my Mum always told us she had spare arms and legs under the bed - so that if we ever got broken she could fix us!! I believed that until I was about 10 years old!!! She doesn't change either - my son wholeheartedly believes in fairies and elves and that they live in the wood - and that Haybales wrapped in coloured plastic in the fields are dinosaur eggs!!!! She is a wonderfully imaginative Mum.
