So… I’m now a young adult.

Mum gave me this diary to write in, but I don’t want to be too mushy like she was. I want to tell you the facts and not sugarcoat it!

I adore Mum, but I’ll admit sometimes she gets carried away… being a Scoop isn’t a fantasy story. It’s hard work. Especially when the gardens need tending too amidst the constant downpours and frosts Aelview is currently experiencing.. but enough of that for now. This is meant to be a birthday entry.

Mum cried. Dad cheered. And my sisters seemed really pleased that I was the one our parents picked to take over the property - after all, none of them had any interest in gardening like I do. And Gala? Well, she seemed more than happy about my transition into young adulthood. To be honest I just hope she still likes me.
