Imagine, if you will, a world so filled with strife and chaos, with darkness and deceit that it was illegal to have fun. No-one was allowed to dance, to laugh, to play. Everything was a serious business, 24/7 and the people knew it, for they were being watched; on almost every street corner was an eye of the watchers, one smile, one laugh, and they would book you, put a mark on your file and take away your travel points or a hot meal. Yes- they could do that in this land. And having fun wasn’t the only thing they made illegal, The people were not allowed to show Love for each other, no no, they were not. Can you imagine?! A world with no hugs? No handshakes, no kisses? Doesn’t it sound dreadful? The people were so un-happy. The watchers sprayed the sky, they wanted to block the sun. Why- You ask? Because the sun gives the people special powers, it gives them vital health, and the power of Love so strong that it can create a new worlds.

One person that just couldn’t stand this was a mother of three, her name was Emma and she remembered, as if from a dream, a time when the land wasn’t like this. A time when people celebrated what a miracle it was just to be alive, they would rejoice throughout every turn of the season and remark how the cycle of the Sun gave their life experience and depth and how the land nourished them always, and they were grateful.

One day Emma got up, her children wanted to listen to Sea Shanty’s and play sword fights. She decided to put on a dress, and a crown, and she picked up her sword and yelled; “Arrrghhh, I’m the Pirate Queen Mum! And I am going to take back this land, and we are going to have Fun, and we are going to Sing and Laugh and Play and show Love and there is Nothing those Nasty Watchers can do to stop us!!” And her three boys Laughed, and they all decided that their Home would be called “Sunshine Kingdom” and they were going to invite people to come over and play.
