THe Magic World of Cheddar Cottage and Mouse Drawings
In many ways my mouse drawings and clay figures are autobiographical, or moments in my imagined world as a child. No, we didn't have a swing or a lantern like this as a child in the mining village. However I do remember ink black skies at night and a giant hawthorn tree next to our house. I do remember sitting on the front doorstep of our house called Eden Hill and mum giving me homemade
chips (large cut french fries) in a newspaper cone. I'd stare at the stars in absolute wonderment. I would've sat there for hours if I could have so mum used to have to coax me indoors with the promise of a glass of milk, a biccy and one episode of Perry Mason with the wonderful Raymond Burr. Yes, a rather odd choice for a 6 year old to watch but I loved that show, plus I got to stay up ha ha.
