I smile as I remember...



My eyes are half open,
I've been sleeping.
I can feel a gentle breeze
and the hair upon my neck,
Stands up tall and proud.
Bristling.
Unaware of my body.
I can hear my heart pounding.
What was that smell?,
that twitched within my nose.
A faint, familiar perfume,
remembered from long, long ago.
I can see fields full of lavender,
Swaying in the breeze.
I hear the sound of children's laughter,
with endless summer play.
I smile as I remember.
My carefree, younger days.

Unfortunately for Mister Marmalade, he, forgot one of those two things on this fine sunny day! Also available in Canada, USA & Japan. (As well as the UK.) Please use there respective stores to purchase them in those places. Above is the UK Link.

Helen Lewins is an author. Helen was born in Northumberland but due to the closure of the coal mines, her parents moved the family to North London to take up work as publicans. After school, she started an apprenticeship with an electrical engineering medical company where she worked for many years as a Service Engineer. With a calling for something else more creative she went travelling in the UK and worked the summer in a hotel on the Jurassic Coast. This led her to study hospitality management and after graduation, she took on a role as a hotel Manager back in Northumberland. Then her life changed forever and along came her beautiful son. It became obvious early on that he was developing at a different rate from his peers. He had limited speech until he was eight years old. Eventually, after quite a long journey he was diagnosed with Autism. That is when Helen started to write about Miss Furry to entertain her son as it was based on their pet cat. It has been a very personal journey for them both and Helen hopes that Miss Furry brings joy to other children. Helen and her Son live in Northumberland with Miss Furry who does indeed spend her days patrolling the fence.
