How was your cot (baby bed) when you were a Baby? How was your bed when you were a child? I don't think we owned a cot. I don't recall at all, but I assume later  it was a regular adult sized bed without safety sideboards, probably a bunk bed after. From IKEA...

What was your favorite book? The 'Babar' Series by Jean de Brunhoff. Or 'The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. and of course Pippi Langstrumpf and some Tove Jansson

Did you have an imaginary friend? No. To busy playing outside in the forest.... I love Adam Gopnik stroy 'Bumping Into Mr. Ravioli" (The New Yorker, September 30, 2002) about his daughters imaginary friend.

PETIT DESIGN

from the book Je sais cuisiner pour mes doudous. Editions de l'Epure by Martine Camillieri

Four chapters, four seasons: you reach one month after the other to cook in accordance with Nature. Sometimes it is about tiny food to share with your blanky, sometimes it is much bigger, such as a meal for a whole family on a Sunday...

I have a single bed that my father made (he is a carpenter) out of walnut tree. It has two small glass windows with a flower composition carved inside. It seems really huge to me.

I still sleep with my right knee up towards the bed's limit!
