Bedtime stories: we all have a tale to tell


After a very fraught day I have just put Little Miss to bed with a bedtime story. Often she presents me with a "Rollie Polie Olie" book with no plot. So I have to make it up as I go along, with a little help from her. Currently we are jetting off to planet stinko to save the world from various cheese related dilemas (honestly, most of it comes from her).

I found this article from the daily telegraph and felt a little more inspired to create interesting stories at bed time.

I remember a vivid fantasy world my mother created for my little brother and I which revolved around a family of fluffy people (a bit like flumps) that lived under our bin at the bottom of the garden. I'm 34 now and I still remember those stories and the bed times we shared together.

I hope I can give Little Miss memories like that.
