It's not real!!!

I am a bit embarassed and feel the need to make clear that my blog today is not one of real life - it is a writing exercise suggested by KittyB which gave the opening line 'I remember' from which you are supposed to write whatever comes into your head. I had a go at it as my computer was playing up and I couldn't blog. I have stated that real life experiences have informed it, but perhaps I should have stated more clearly that it was a piece of fiction. Sorry, Un Peu but thanks for the comments. x
