"You don't have to worry about money, so long as you've got enough coins for a few sweets from a shop. You don't have to worry about mending your clothes if they tear, mama will just do it for you." Ginger shook her head, cutting off the senseless nostalgia. "I'm sure Gareth's getting into no end of trouble- and truthfully, I wish I was there with him. Sometimes I think I've been an adult since I was ten years old."
