God save strawberry jam

My daughter (who is very nearly five) has found a new form of protest if she does not want to do something. She has watched Mary Poppins four times over the weekend which as you may remember has Glynis Johns in it as the Suffragette mother of the two children. We went swimming on Saturday and when I tried to coax her out of the water, my darling child ran away shouting "votes for women" at the top of her voice which did seem rather surreal. We are raising an activist. I am saving up for the bail now. She also has green fingers as she has grown tomatoes from seed which she is now harvesting. I won't even attempt to grow anything as I know it will die the vegetable equivalent of a painful death.
