One thing I really noticed about writing about the future was that my dreams seem to be a lot of looking back. They are things I have always dreamed of, things I have done in the past that I want to do again. My dreams were pretty predictable, pretty much like a lot of other peoples....
I want a nice life. A nice house. Money. To be fit and healthy. Family and friends.... Is that really surprising? How I want to get there though, that's the happy bit...
So here we go....!
Rose is a talented craftsperson, beloved wife and bad mother of three lives her ethos of 'behaving well is no fun, life should never be boring!' to the full. Her hair changes colour with the moon and she is curvy and athletic wearing funky but practical clothing. She loves a wide variety of things including arts and crafts, the natural world, sustainable and practical living and music.
Her life is full of activity, walking with her beloved dogs and children, tai chi, kayaking and horse riding feature heavily. Her home on the banks of one of the flooded river valleys of Cornwall is perfectly placed giving her access to the wooded creeks to ride and explore, with the sea only a short paddle away.
Her house and home are full of plants, her cupboards are stacked with the fruits of her kitchen and garden. Dinner is often cooked for friends and their children, including old college friends and ex-workmates, from the days she had to work. F is there in all aspects of her life, enjoying her crazy uniqueness!
The influence of science and the world around her is clear within all aspects of her life. Her family are at the centre of all she does.
OK - so where woud I find the time to do all that with three children under the age of five?

I so enjoyed this exercise! Great reading yours too. I did away with my grey hairs and made myself look younger!
*giggle* -- yeah, the three children under the age of five might slow you down a bit!!
Sounds lovely though...very lovely!!

That was great. I so enjoyed the laugh at the end. Thank you. : )
Sounds like a beautiful life to look forward to! :)
Hair changing colour with the moon!!! Awesome. I love the imagery of all the gathering and abundance in the kitchen, plants and nourishment all around.
Well, perhaps you aren't quite there yet. :-) (It sounds a bit like me now, with my children grown...)
Loved hair color changing with the inspiration of the cycle of the moon. I agree, with 3 children under 3 your next five years will be filled with all kinds of activities and needs that will keep you hopping. Enjoy every day of it. It's gone way too quickly. But looking back at my years like that, I wouldn't trade them for anything!
