My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Escape to Narnia

Ive just finished watching 'The lion , witch and the wardrobe' on sky movies. I allowed the kids to stay up to way past bedtime as they were desperate to watch it.

I remember as a 10 year old reading the chronicles of narnia and how i used to escape normal life in those books. I was always a book worm as a child and i was given the well read box set of the chronicles of narnia from my local church minister. When i completed the books over the summer holidays of 1980 i went to give them back and he said no my dear you keep them and one day when you are an adult they will remain a treasure to you and you can share it then.

Sure enough as an adult i passed them on to a neighbours daughter to read(to take her mind off the fact her dad was in the Gulf war) while i lived in Germany, i recieved them back as her parents were going to buy her own collection at some stage.

I had forgotton all about theses books till just recently when i was up in the attic sorting some boxes out.

I have promised the boys i will read the books to them, as they are a little young to read the small print themselves at the moment.

I was truely transported into the film along with my kids tonight , as i keep telling the boys being able to read can transport you into a different world . So hope fully my eldest will try harder at reading so he can tackle such amazing books. 

Although some of the scenes were different from how i imagined them it was still a wonderfull way to pass the evening away. All cosy on the couch.

Im now off to bed as i have a 10 mile walk to complete tommorow and i need my energy for that.

I wonder if narnia will appear in my dreams
