ONCE UPON A DREAM

Have you ever had a dream that was so real you questioned the reality of your own existence?

That was me, Florence, a dreamer - a lover of the ocean. And constantly finding myself in trouble because of my vivid imagination…

Sunbathing and admiring all of god’s beautiful creations, I drifted away to the sounds of crashing waves. That’s when the magic happened! I found myself deep underwater amongst dazzling colours and magical creatures. I never wanted to leave.

But the ocean also holds dangers. Terrified, I came face to face with the oceans most dangerous villains.

My prayers for help were answered by two beautiful creatures - one to protect me with kindness and the other full of a romance and passion beyond my wildest dreams. Swept away, he whispered “wake up”. But I didn’t want to leave, I wanted to stay in the arms of my love, my hero, my saviour. Forever!

“FLORENCE!!!!!” My Nanny screamed…. Doused in water, I awoke, startled to find myself back on the beach. Was it all a dream? That’s when I saw him. My protector and ghost of the ocean. My first love. Even if it was just a dream I’ll never forget him!
