Long long ago ..... there were some funny slippers
Long long ago (well 2 years ago ) in a house by the sea
..... there lived a little brown lady and her Nan.
They spent many happy days together
and home was so calm and peaceful
Magic Nan made Jam Buns, Carolina Chicken and was one of the most special people to be around.
The little brown happy had sunshine in her tummy
as just before she had lived with her boyfriend
and after many happy years together
they decided to part
so Nan's home was home just until she could her perfect nest to live in.
The little brown lady slept in a bedroom covered in splendid flowers
that Grandy Ronnie had chosen many years ago.
Nan was not sure if she liked the flowers
but the little brown lady was happy to keep them
as every day she woke to have sunlight streaming in, hear the sea
and feel like she was in an enchanted garden.
In the bedroom was a large skinny cupboard.
It was an empty cupboard
as the room was so huge
and all the clutter that the brown lady possessed
was neatly tucked away in storage.
One day
the brown lady started to buy pretty little gifts to sell
and while they sat cosy without a future owner and a new home to go to
they were stored in the skinny cupboard.
Day by day
week by week
she bought and sold
and soon the cupboard was full as the more she sold, she was able to buy twice as much again.
Each evening she would sit for a wee while up in the enchanted bedroom
with the funny slippers on that Nan had made many years ago
and neatly pack parcels to be posted the very next morning.
When she was tired
she would go to bed
that was always so cosy and warm as her magical Nan
had popped a little bottle in there to sleep with and dream of buying more pretty things.
As the years went by they had special times
walking by the sea
talking
laughing
and sharing memories of years past.
When the little brown lady opened a drawer or a cupboard
she would find objects that triggered recollections of days out in an instant.
The London Zoo Key
the most precious
was taken by the brown lady (who was then a little brown girl) and her Nan every year when they visited the animals.
The key would be inserted into a box next to the cage
and the animal would tell you all about itself.
The little brown girl
would feel that she had the most special secret and the most precious key.
One day
the little brown lady found her perfect nest
and even though she was so happy in her new home
she returns to visit her Nan as often as possible.
When she visits
she always finds a little hot water bottle
hiding in a fresh cosy bed
and her dreams are so perfect and warm.
She is happy
Nan is happy
and they are the best of friends
together and apart
And the skinny cupboard ? .....
Now is holds a few of Nan's clothes
a few jigsaws
and some shoes
but it is still quite bare.
I wonder if it knows how important it was
in storing the beginnings of a dream
of holding possesions that now have new happy homes
and allowing a little brown lady to be exactly where she wants to be in her creative life.
The little brown lady buys more, sells more, and makes more pretty things
but she will never forget where it all begun.
Thank you to my magical Nan and the skinny cupboard.
