FLORALS

part 3

It seems that the older I get, the more I think about my childhood. I am one of those people who have vivid memories of childhood. Most of my memories are very good, and quite a few of them reveal, that I was born a miniaturist. It is not a hobby I adopted, like my other hobbies. It is embedded in me somewhere. I have always had a fascination for anything tiny.

The first thing is Shredded Wheat, not the mini ones but the old fashioned big ones. Ever since I remember I cannot look at Shredded Wheat without seeing a lovely little thatched roof cottage. As a child I used to sit at the table eating the Shredded Wheat while gazing at the picture on the box, thinking about how I could make a little house using the cereal for the roof. I could foresee a few problems in the construction of this house, not the least of which was trying to wheedle the Shredded Wheat out of my mother. This was the late 1940's-early 50's, post war England. Some food was still rationed and the stringent wartime rationing was still fresh in my mother's mind, not a crumb of food was wasted in our house. Fat chance I would have at getting two whole Shredded Wheat’s for building a little cottage.

My little thatched roof Shredded Wheat cottage daydream pretty much ended right there, like many of my little daydreams, at the mum roadblock. It is just as well because at that young age had no idea how to make the rest of the house.

I know how to do it now though, as you can see. I don't have unlimited spare time, but I figured I could give myself a couple of hours to make my childhood Shredded Wheat cottage fantasy a reality.
Maybe I have lost my mind, not sure.
