Thank you Ann... *blows kiss to T*

It is a bit grotty... I mentioned it once to a colleague, who nearly ripped my throat out, lolol!! But... there is a little row of shops, with a lovely art place tucked away in it.....

Love

Daff xxxxx

I think it might be 'was' now Daff, I think it might have closed now, the shop that is.

Not sure if anyone is reading this thread at the moment but I have sent out chapter 8 of the story, if you have not received it could you let me know please.

Hi Ann, just popped in, received your piece, thanks x

Thanks Helen.

Have we got a set piece for this week?

How about 'nostalgia'?

Hi Ann, i still haven't got round to writing about 'the dress' , so might skip that and just go with 'nostalgia' :))

Thankyou for part 8,

xx

Hi Rose, I didn't do the dress because I already did it with the blue dress.

I may not have time to write anything this week as I am off to Ireland on Thursday and have loads to do! On the other hand, I may wake up in the middle of the night and get inspired. lol BC XX

oooh BC lucky you :)) I was looking earlier at Irish ferries, fares and times and destinations...

and hankering :))

Ann, i was thinking of a blue dress i had when I was a child...I might do it afterall :))

I am sort of involved with my ongoing story at the moment but will try to have a go at nostalgia if I have time here. I am thinking of calling the story Picture Perfect????

Thank you to all who have emailed entries, I have enjoyed reading them and am amazed by their individuality. I hope when I get around to it I may find a topic that will inspire me to write. Forgive me for not responding sooner, I am away at the moment but as soon as I get back I shall commit to joining in to see what I need to do.

Thanks again

We will look forward to it. Glad you have enjoyed them all.

Changed mymind, it will be New Beginnings

Nudge, for our potential new member Marian :)

Hello everyone

i apologise for not staying in contact, but i do peep in most days and I do read everything that is sent to me. At the moment free time is very short and i need to stay in contact with the family.
today I tried to write something for my sister and failed miserably. my younger sister will be 60 next week the best birthday present I have had. She was born in 5th june 1950 and i was born on 5th june 1946.
If anyone can help advise etc I really would be greatful for some suggestions or starters for ten as I say.

I go back to Spain at the end of summer and this time it really is the end of work..I am not renewing my professional status as a Registered nurse. the end of an era.....


Thank you all
I will be posting a small piece during the week

Bridget

Hello Bridget, how lovely that your sister is "the best birthday present" :))

perhaps if you jot down all the memorable moments whether happy or sad that you have particularly shared? and then expand on them...but to be honest your phrase " the best birthday present I have had." kind of says it all for me :)

A very happy birthday to both of you!

Rose xx

Rambling Rose

thank you for your very kind remark and for the birthday wishes

Bridget

Wish I could write those 7 line poems, I think they are wonderful

I am going to nudge this whenever I see it more than a few pages away.
It is an inspirational thread, writing is so important and if you do family research it can make a huge difference to family present and in the future, to read about the people in the tree.
hope that makes sense

Bridget

It does make sense Bridget :) I am going to try and write about the people in my tree, though some of them will be less 'known' , I hope that even a few lines about each will make them 'live' to any family that reads about them in the future.

And also if I have left some bits of writing, even if they never see the light of day, it will leave my family something of me, in my own words :)

Good afternoon Bridget and Rose
I've not been around for a few days as have been house-sitting,garden minding and dog watching lol for family

Anyway some back home from their hols. but now Daughter's washing machine has gone 'doolally' so I'm washing her holiday clothes and trying desperately to get them dried,dodging showers :O( ...however we're invited to tea so will enjoy hearing all about her holiday :O)

Bridget I've started stories of my childhood,(first copy I sent out) at first there was soo much I remembered that I couldn't put it to paper quick enough,so I'm writing it in stages.
I'm in the process of writing the next chapter and find it really worthwhile.

Perhaps you could begin your childhood memories with the 'The Birthday Present'...incidently I was a Birthday Present for my Mother
