As the sun beams down and the bees buzz in the bushes, Summer Pullen is happiest toddling around in her back garden just like any other curious two-year-old.
But she is banned from enjoying this simple pleasure, because of a rare form of epilepsy that means she can suffer up to 16 seizures a day.
If she has a seizure at the wrong moment, she is at risk of serious injury. This photo shows her with two black eyes she suffered after collapsing at her brother’s birthday party.
