NURSE MABEL AND HER AMAZING FLEAS!: Party Bags?

Party Bags?

So what should we put in the party bags for the launch on 19 June? Most inexpensive gifts with a medical theme are a teeny bit weird (rubber gloves, anyone?) Or they are gruesome - not that children seem to mind that. But with 28 of them to buy for, the cost of individual gifts adds up.

I've had a look on Etsy for some ideas.... hmmm....

There's an aspirin pendant

heartbeat trace bracelet

brooch in the shape of an anatomical heart

and my favourite, soap in the shape of pills. I'd get that - except that for all the kids to have a bar, it would cost over £80.

Back to the party shop, then..

My prize goes to the aspirin necklace. You could customise that with sleeping pill necklace, indigestion tablet necklace, etc.

What's this about?

I'm Jenny. I'm a writer, and when I was a little girl, my Grandma had a mysterious knife. It was almost the only thing she had kept from her youth. But she would never tell me why she had kept it, and she never let me examine it closely. Years later, I found the knife and suddenly realised it was fashioned from a bullet, with Grandma's maiden name and the word SOUVENIR cut on it.

Then I remembered Grandma telling me how, as a lively teenager, she'd left her boring home and signed up as a nurse in the Great War without telling her parents. She said how she'd worked on an ambulance train in France, where she'd met my grandfather. So did he give her the treasured bullet knife? Or was there another mystery attached to it?

And so I've ended up working with Vanessa of London Dreamtime to help the children of Boutcher School to create an imaginative tale rooted in an imagined time. What better theme than the tale of a girl who left her home to work on an ambulance train?

But today's schools don’t smile upon stories of knives and bullets. So our heroine, Mabel, did not have a secret about a little knife. She had another secret....or, actually, five secrets...
