Alice Through The Looking Glass! ( The Dinosaurs Version!)
ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
(What A Load Of Nonsense!)

I'd Like To Tell You A Story About A Girl Called Alice, Lonely Alice, In Fact Lonely Sad Alice. But She Hadn't Always Been That Way, Neither Lonely Or Indeed Sad.
In Fact Quite The Opposite, A Fun Full Of Life Sort Of Girl!

You Want To Know What Changed Her, For That We Had Better Start Right Back At The Beginning, Never A Bad Place To Start A Story! Although If I Am Writing A Short Story, A Really Short Story,, I Usually Start It Near The End!

Once Upon A Time, There Was A Story, & In This Story, There Was An Alice!

Alice Grew Up In A sleepy Seaside Town In England, Called Hastings. Hastings Had A Few Claims To Fame, Besides Sleeping A Lot, Its Double Fried Chips Were Famed Across The land. But It's True Claim To Fame Was It's Doughnut Tree, Apparently, The Only One In Existence I n The Whole Wide World, Others Have Caimed To Have Grown One, But Their Claims Have Never Been Proved!

Everyday, Without Fail, When The School Bell Rang Out, Marking The End Of Lessons, Alice, Together With Her Friends Jessie, Clair, Abby & Faye Would Hop Skip & Jump All The Way To The Town Square ( Actually It Was Circular! But Let's Not Linger On That!)

They Would Stand Together In The Hope Of Catching Any Falling Doughnuts From The tree, Loosened From Their Moorings By The Balmy Breeze Blown In Across The Ocean From The Beautiful Country Of India, Bringing With It The Heady Perfume Of Raat Ki Rani (cestrum) My Only Hope Is That Everytime The Breeze Changes Direction It Takes With Back To India The equally Heady Perfume From Our Own Doughnut Tree, The Rich Aroma, Which Emerges On A Hot Day Of Deep Fried, Sugar Coated Doughnuts!

Alice's Favourite Season Was High Summer, Hastings Aways Enjoyed Scorching Hot Summer Days When The Temperature Hit A Balmy Temperature Of 21c!

It Was on Days Like This That A Dramatic Change Happened To The Fruit On The Doughnut Tree. Once Ripe, Their Centres Bulged With Chocky Sauce, With A Faint Hint Of Orange!
To Alice & Her Friends, The BiggestTheat Was A Family Of Plover Birds Nesting Nearby, Always Eager To Snatch The Ripest Fruit From The Highest Point Of The Tree. However, Their Was Enough to Go Round For Everyone!

Later That Afternoon, Alice Received Some Destressing News From Her Mom. Alice's Dad Had Been Offered A Promotion At Work, The Drawback, Isn't There Always A Drawback !
Alice's World Was About To Implode! Dad was Due To Start His New Job Next Week Unfortunately It Would Mean The Whole Family Including Poor Alice Moving To London! How Would She Survive Without Her Friends, & More Importantly, Without Her Doughnut Tree!

DON'T MISS THE NEXT EXCITING EPISODE!!
WITH ANY LUCK! NETFLIX WILL BUY THE FILM RIGHTS & TURN IT INTO A BOLLYWOOD MOVIE!!

IF NOT, I WILL POST PART 2 IN A COUPLE OF DAYS ONCE I HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH MY HOUSEHOLD CHORES!!
