I have M's permission to put her story on the blog and she says people she knows are allowed to look at it.
I have attempted to transcribe it faithfully as regards punctuation and spelling, but must admit that I didn't worry about lower/upper case because it would have taken me about 3 times as long to copy out!
M wrote this in 4 or 5 sessions over the course of several weeks. For the first session she asked for help with spelling many of the words, but after that it was only ocassionally that she did so.
I hope you enjoy it!

That's lovely.... Does M like potatoes?? Actually Christine's diet is D&T's ideal...!
ReplyDeleteShe's perfectly happy to eat them, but their not particularly a favourite. I think it maybe because Christine can't eat wheat, so M thinks she must eat a lot of potatoes because she can't have (normal) pasta or bread. :-)
