Drive forward a bit. Then turn onto the highway.

After thirty minutes trees decorate the landscape and people wearing red coats and blue hats can be seen riding sleek horses through the forest.

Even though we read the story when we were eight years old, the reality has been created today.

It’s another form of progress.

A boost to tourism too!

Shopping, taking hangers off the racks and heading for the fitting rooms.

It would have been so much better if we had looked at which sizes we gathered.

Disappointed by the long legs, or tight waists, the wrap-around underwear and the artificial silk silk shirts, we left the place in a huff.

Short-lived sorrow was cured when asked for an autograph by twenty fans wearing just those clothes we really wanted to buy.

We sifted through the old fabrics and found a red silk tie and matching scarf.

It is time to welcome our guests and start singing.

There will be ballet, conversation, fireworks and digital book signings.

The morning will give us a chance to fill the gaps.

So go ahead.

We are talking to the relevant people…ourselves!

Now, after many years and so many country drives, we are growing coffee in our window boxes and scribbling on ancient parchment.

Your size? Then we can fit you.
