Now six years older, healthy Natasha has just had a nasty accident in their local park, cutting her head badly. While Mum Camilla drove quickly to the nearby Oxford Hospital, Lola looked after her sister in the back of the car, helping her to keep calm and comforting her. The hospital stitched up the wound and Natasha has recovered ok- it was following this second bit of bad luck that Lola had the idea.
