I talked to my pillow, then to an imaginary friend, and finally to the dragon under my bed, who was actually very friendly. My mother was obsessed with cleanliness and she did not allow even the smallest bit of dirt to remain in the house. Her fight against dirt was equal to her passion for cooking.

Our house always smelt of food that she cooked with great care and of her baking. Her cakes, biscuits, and cupcakes were the talk of our neighbourhood.
