Katie, I dare say, Katie, you might have an inspirational paperound story too Yes, so about three or four and we were at the flower plant nursy with Mum Out the front there was this rusty old tractor which was for the children to play on. And I was with my brother and sister who are older than me and I was climbing up to play with them and as I'm stepping up the stairs came up off the ground of the tractor, was a big rusty metal pole with no knob no longer on top And as I'm climbing up, I've slipped and fallen straight on top of the gigar stick. It's gone straight through my face my right eye. And my brother and sister have had to take me to mums. She've had to leave all the plants, take me to the hospital. they've had to gue up all my face and I've still got a massive scar today and it was any closer I would have lost eye. I was gonna to say youre so lucky you didn't lose your eye. You're impaled The the word impaled is horrific. You'reaking you're making that upade. Also when that those rusty old tractors, that's a tch in the shop Yeah I'm sure that it wouldn't be allowed now the rusty old tractors for K to my own but forty something years ago. It was was it the stitches in the faceestop? So no, they didn't use stitches. They used those little butterfly clamps. Be hold it together. I don't know why they didn't use stitches, whether it makes more of a scar, but yeah Every day I look at my big hole still in my face right near my eye and think how lucky I am to have two eyes. I think fond live that nursery. Oh she's a glass t girl. Tell her next time try using a tie from Y day rb the but by clips. A Oh o Anyway, good luck for school holiday.
