Facing the truth

Phew! Having worried I might be erased from tiddler’s party list, I was saved by a ‘no show’.

The show was in full flow as Miss Sophie, tiddler’s ballet teacher, had all the little girls sitting in a ring gripping a parachute and playing fun coordinated games like propelling soft balls up to the ceiling. Wizard fun!

One by one they went off for face painting. Fabulous faces. I asked the face painter if I could be next and if she could strip a few years off my face.

“I’m a face painter, dear, not a miracle worker!” she replied.
