I have always read..even before school.Gran had all my uncles things..he was a late baby for her and only 10 years older.So I copied him.I got a comic and read alone.At sunday school we got a monthy magazine called Golden Rays.Then each week gran got a magazine called Peoples Friend which had a childrens section.I soon progress to reading short stories and loved when it said "continued on page..."All through school I read and even did book swap with girl friends.
I cycled played tennis and was a dancer did all team sports for school.I still found magic in books.
By the way..I still get Peoples Friend.Its an old fashioned magazine very Scottish and if anyone wants my copy just send a PM and I will share the old fashioned in the modern world.
I pray I can always read and have the sheer pleasure I have enjoyed since a little person.
