Where I live we’re surrounded by woodland, loads of foresty type land that you could certainly get lost in, but not the mahoosive jungle like stuff you speak of.
One story does stand out though, when you’re a kid it feels like a huge forest.
It was a fine summer morning, my mum took us into this wood for a ramble & a picnic, somehow….& I can’t for the life of me remember the circumstances, my younger brother & me got lost.
Being fairly young, around 8 & 10, we panicked slightly, but I became quite resourceful. I was carrying a bag, it had picnic stuff in & I pulled out this big roll of kitchen tissues, looks like toilet roll for a giant.
I began tearing sheets off & placed them on the ground a couple of metres apart, thinking that this trail would lead mama to us, I know, genius right?
So, it was windy & so…the tissues blew away of course they did, what else do tissues do in the wind? As I said, fucking genius :/
Anyway, we found her after only a few minutes, she assumed we’d wandered off on purpose for a little adventure, we went along with that :)
