Well, there was a green mouse called Cheddar (At the point I created him, i had no idea that Cheddar was a type of cheese.

) And a lion named Zippy. Like all imaginary friends, I genuinely believed they were there, and they used to "look after me" while I slept.
I remember a day, very vividly, when Zippy went on holiday, and Cheddar decided at the last minute to go with him.

I was truly devastated!

They came back around a week later, of course.
These guys stayed with me up until I was around 10...I guess that's pretty old to have imaginary friends!! I put it down to the fact that i was a pretty solitary kid, and when i actually started making
real friends, I guess I didn't need them anymore...
Oh, to be a child!!
