Timeslip Journey
by John

This event happened to my husband, John when he was about six years old. At that time he was living in Stoke-on-Trent. One day when he was on his way to school with his friend, they stopped to watch some builders who were build some new houses. As they approached the site, there was an old cottage nearby and an old lady came out. She offered John and his friend some lemonade and they went into her house.

After leaving the cottage, they went on to school, only to discover that it was almost 4 o'clock and school was just closing. They had left home at 1:30 p.m. on a journey that should have taken about 20 minutes! The next day, John and his friend took the same route, but to their amazement there was no sign of any cottage or the old lady they had seen the previous day.

The only explanation seems to be that John and his friend experienced some sort of timeslip, perhaps for a few hours they were transported back to an earlier time when indeed a cottage did exist on that land.....and it's occupant!
