i have been saving all my pennies in my little peter pot and i counted them all up and bought a little sugar mice family to live in the attic of my dolls house. Their names are peach and melba and cherry and fig.

When I was younger, all my walls were covered in ripped out horse posters and I had written their name in red crayon on the wall next to their picture. They were my friends and I used to make up stories and sit on my bed crossed legged, telling them to the horses.
Now the room is paps and there are no pictures on the walls at all but there are still a few crayoned names. It just makes me sad that I cannot remember what the horses look like anymore.

Ma is taking me to more steam ralleys soon. It really helps my heart. Laughing and twirling.

I used to have pictures of horses all on my walls too! I told stories to my stuffed animals all the time, lol!

I very much like the names you chose for your mice!

Oh those are so sweet.

Oh gosh I went through the horse poster thing too. Each one was a part of my imaginary stable, though I can't recall if I named them. I just remember having many an adventure. :)

i can totally relate to your horses, only mine were dinosaurs. i still have them now. the only thing that was sad was that i used to write on my wooden chair/chest the names of animals that i saw as a kid and loved, pets, real and unreal, all their names were there, but then as time passed by their names faded and it's sad that i can't remember them too.

Steam ralleys are big country fayres where old steam engines and craft tents are and there are old tractors and roller engines and old buses. It is wonderful
