The formative years. Childhood and formal education. A timeless period of innocence and discovery, of laughter and pain. A time when we learn how to love and care and cherish - though we don't realise it as it happens. Long forgotten days of playing with toys on the floor, of shopping trips with Mum, of bedtime stories and 'wash behind your ears'.
