An interview with UK ambassador to Bulgaria Steve Williams
The tantrum started several blocks away. We'd told her that we were taking her to Patilantsi (fun park) in Mladost. Otherwise we'd have had to pin her to the bed and forcibly dress her. But by now she'd sussed us out. She was sobbing, shaking and bawling. As we approached our destination she started kicking furiously. Daddy had to carry her to the gate. She managed to escape my clutches and grabbed a railing in front of the garden, clinging on with all her might. It seemed that she had chained herself to the ramparts, rather like suffragette Emily Pankhurst. You'd have thought we were trying to take her into a torture chamber. But it was only the local kindergarten.
