No matter how viciously Mrs Kilbride, our housekeeper, scrubbed our heads, the fairy dust was buried in our roots, stubborn as fleas. It dusted our pillows when we woke from sleep. The maids spent hours in the garden beating it out of the sheets. Nana running around their legs, barking with each violent thwack.

Wendy deals with her return from Neverland and tries to hatch a plan to be reunited with Peter - but her parents have other ideas.

Having a big procedure today and feel the most nervous I've felt in a long time. I wish we could crawl into books and escape our lives for a few hours.
