“I honestly remember endless ,sunny days playing out in the fields behind the housing estate we lived on and never coming indoors until we heard my mum screeching tea was ready and banging her saucepan out the back door.”
She continued: “That freedom, the ability to use my imagination to my hearts content and always being encouraged to follow my dreams are what shaped me from 0-5 and beyond. Those early years are super important in a child’s life.”
Amanda’s post comes as part of the Shaping Us campaign, which has been launched by The Royal Foundation.
