Never try to revisit your childhood


It’s been incredibly warm today, although windy. 
I sat in the back garden with a book and a glass of wine, but the sodding wind couldn’t decide which way it wanted to blow from so I gave up and came inside. 
I’ve managed to read ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘The Great Glass Elevator’ in the past week. I was thinking about them at work the other day and recalling how I’d always thought that ‘Elevator’ was better than ‘Factory.’ I wondered whether I’d still feel the same way if I read them again at my age, so I ordered them both from the library and picked them up last Friday. I wish I hadn’t bothered now because they’re not as good as I remember. Granted, I’m probably 20 years older than their target audience, but even so…

On a not-unconnected matter - 9 months today will be Christmas Day….
