So lovely Rebecca. Each time you write I see so much of my family and myself, in each story.

Though I'm not sure what chilli is (minced beef??? with chilli), it looks darned good.

Like you, we were not allowed school lunches. I'm sure they were not as healthy as any my mum would have served, but I longed to be at the table with my friends.

Loved your ending. The spirit voice must have been a wonderful experience for you. :)
