11th September, 1981. 'Clare'

I like reading especially when I buy a new book. I like the feel of the stiff new pages and the exciting feeling I get. I also like riding on my bike and whizzing down our long drive. I am not allowed to go onto the road. I really don't like playing with my sisters when they are bossy.

There are not many foods that I dislike, but I really don't like jam tarts! But my favourite food without a doubt is Scouse ( Scouse is a kind of stew cooked by my Grandma who is a very good cook who cooks the most scrumptious dishes).
I go to bed at 8.00 or 8.30 and I get up at 7.30.
