When I was your age

A warm portrait of a close‑knit family unfolds as the narrator looks back on her early years with her four siblings. The eldest sister, Julia, is painted as a dreamy, poetic soul whose love of stories turns simple walks into grand adventures, while the younger children follow her lead with wide‑eyed wonder. Together they roam the countryside, pause at the windmill, and share snippets of Shakespeare and opera, their imaginations lighting up ordinary days.

Interwoven with these recollections are tender glimpses of their father’s heroic legacy, a gentle reminder of the values that shaped the household. The narrative captures the bittersweet mix of childhood innocence and the budding creativity of a young writer, whose early scribbles hint at a lifelong passion for storytelling. Listeners will be drawn into the intimate world of sibling love, simple pleasures, and the enduring echo of a family’s shared past.
