Mister Bump
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
Mister Bump 
Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. I remember it well. A favourite Roald Dahl book with my kids.

I tried to help my mum once by ironing one of dad’s polyester shirts once. With an iron set to “cotton”! #QuickEscape
Thanks for the memory.

Did you have siblings to blame it on? Or a dog at least?

Only child. Denied all knowledge. How much do you think they believed that? Did you comment once that you had sisters? Did they steal all your posessions?
