I hope that this simple, light as air story by the inimitable Rudyard Kipling (written in 1902 starting off its life as bedtime stories told to his little girl Josephine ‘just so’) makes you smile just like your words make everyone who read them, fill up with joy and emotion. That’s what my dear friend Sonia keeps reminding me of and I am so grateful to her for her love and encouragement and grace and so I dedicate this episode to her today as she feels poorly today. Be kind to yourself please - no one is here to judge so just please take some time out to live yourself, unwind and perhaps listen to a few stories because stories can heal. So all i just want to say that I’m so happy if you’re well but equally I feel you if you’re not that well and that it’s ok to feel like that. The Elephant’s child: Hello hello my lovely people! How are you today? I was about to ‘Hope you’re well’ you and then realised that it’s the last thing you want to hear if you’re not that well. If you already know her, you’ll just find yourself admiring and adoring her a teeny weeny bit more 💕💕💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💥💥 Enjoy the stories and let me know what you think !! Stay safe, stay happy and keep reading!! 💕💕📚📚🍁🍂🌈 toodles xx
If you haven’t read Pippi before, I just know you’ll love her free spirit, sense of humour and incredible fearlessness. I’m going to read ‘The Best of Pippi Longstocking’, an 11 chapter book which has stories from all the books above and start off reading a couple of chapters from the first book.
Astrid Lindgren created these stories for her daughter Karin who asked her for a get-well soon story when she was off school :-) Karin named this fiesty little girl Pippi who is 9 years old and lives all by herself with a horse, a monkey, a suitcase full of gold and no grown ups to tell her what to do and she is stronger than anyone else you will ever know !!💕💕 The first book ‘Pippi Longstocking’ was published in 1945 followed by ‘Pippi goes on board’ and ‘Pippi in the South Seas. If that want enough, we have books 📕📕📚📚📚📙📙💕💕💕💕 And inevitably, the greatest stories and books are written at times of trouble, pain, heartbreak or ill health. Hello, Hola, Namaste, Salutations oh wonderful people! Hope you’re well and are getting ready to embrace Autumn 🍂🍂🍁🍁 The Corona virus is still dominating the news and our lives but how lucky we are to have roofs over our heads, hot food on our tables, good health on our side and family and friends we love around us.
