Saturday, 13th September, was Roald Dahl day. Like many other children, I have fond memories of curling up with Dahl’s books so here’s some wisdom from the man himself:

Watch the robin especially because it always flies low, and you might see a nervous young Minpin perched on the feathers having its first flying lesson. And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. -The Minpins

Today's quote is not actually one I chose because it particularly made me think but it is my absolute favourite thing I've heard today and it brightened my day so I wanted to share it with you reader.
 My friend's little boy went back to school today and when he came home she went through the typical mum routine of asking how his day went, this was his reply:

'I looked after a new kid today. His name's Thomas' [then he looked at her to clarify] 'He's a boy, not the train' [returns to sticker book]
