This is our blue `beach house’ sitting on top of a mountain miles away from the sea. The other page shows our local clock tower and shops in the high street. Like Jill, I wasn’t keen on making paper dolls – my family is HUGE and I couldn’t contemplate leaving anyone out, so I left the journal lying open and went off in search of coffee and inspiration.
When I got back, my 2-year-old grandson Jei had decided to add his own interpretation to the pages. Laughing at his joyful, energetic swirls and squiggles, I grabbed green and blue crayons and joined in. And that’s where we left it, Jei and I, for these pages now express everything I feel about my home and my family. The joy of creating bubbles like laughter from one generation to the next, and its so good to share my life with them.
This is fabulous – the joy emanates from it in bucketloads
What fun to have a partner in journaling! It makes it even more personal and special.
