ILike the idea of writing a piece at a time..I am going to try that. Strangely enouogh I am sittin in the very building where I first learnt that I had a baby sister. My mother was very ill during the pregnancy and I was sent to live in a convent near hastings called Sandrock Hall. I was here for about 6 months. It was my god father who came to seeme and told me that I had a sister.
Almost 60 years later I find myself here...it feels a little odd, and I wonder why I was brought here or is it sheer co-incidence

Ok just an option for this week if needed,

"The Letter"....received or sent, wanted or unwanted, lost in transit which might have made a difference, hidden, discarded.

or, a special place...in the world, in your mind, in your heart....real or imagined.

Poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction as per usual :)

Hello. Just reading through after being off line after moving house, and just had to write this :-)
Bridget - my brother has a flat at Sandrock!

nudge for this week

Thanks for the suggestions Rose, hope nobody minds but I will probably opt out of that one to concentrate on my story which was neglected while I was away. We go away again on Friday and I don't think there is internet access where we are staying, and even if there is I will be reliant on using OH's laptop as mine is still 'on holiday' at Madrid airport. (don't ask!)

oh Ann! I hope you get the laptop back ok, and that what was on it is not too important, to be able to do without for a bit.

Hope you enjoy your next bit of 'gallivanting' lol, looking forward to the next part of your story :))

Hopefully it is organised for the laptop to be picked up for me (luckily whoever found it at security was honest) and I will get it when we return to Tenerife in September. Thank goodness for friends who can speak Spanish. Nothing sensitive on there or needed, I only use it when away as I use a desk top at home and I had downloaded everything I did while there onto a flash drive, carried separately.
Going to Dorset this time so no flights involved.

Hello everyone ooh it's quiet in the writing room ;O.....I sent out my piece on nostalgic,childhood days,included a little mention of my ballet dress,but not sure if everyone has received?

I won't be writing set-piece about a letter, as my story re. ash was entitiled The Letter lol ...however I have the second part of my childhood days ready if anyone wants to read it :O) xx

Mau, I am not sure if I got it or not, it may be that it was on the missing laptop and I had intended to reply once I got home, I know there were a few e mails I had not replied to.

Afternoon ladies:) First of all, my apologies for not reading any of your writing yet. I seem to be caught up with 'stuff' !

I have written a small piece about a visit to Dublin (very short so no worries) lol and promise I shall catch up soon.

I am so far behind...... but I have my Littlie staying.... and I am totally exhausted...... and literary wotsit has dried up a bit....

I will give feedback soon, I promise.... and will try and find a spark of creative talent from somewhere!

Love

Daff xxxxx

Ladies I am behind with everything! but have sent out our new member Marian's email to you all, hopefully successfully! Please let me know if you don't receive it,

xx

Just nudging this thread up:) XX

Please be aware that although I am around I am not receiving e mails as I don't have my own lap top with me so am on OH's e mail etc.

Thanks Ann and hope you're having a good time, although I did see Dorset weather last night on Springwatch and it looked wild :O(

I'm still wondering whether or not to send my next chapter out. Have only received one reply so far,lots of members not 'around'

Glad you nudged the thread up BC.....we is sinking!! XX

Whether is okay down here in Dorset, rained yesterday and overnight but dry now :-)

PS or weather, even - spell check doesn't check for sense!

Mau, send it out :) it will be there for those who wish to read then, I am sure new member Marian would like to receive something, especially as a few are otherwise engaged at the moment :)

xx

I am sending out a short, dark (lol) piece but it's ok if I don't get any comments back, I am finding it cathartic anyway:)) BC XX

Weather was lovely today once the sea fret cleared. yesterday afternoon and eveninf was very wet but that is the only rain really thatw e have had since we got here. We were in Lyme Regis and it was sunny and warm most of the time, quite windy though on the Cob.

Glad it's cleared up a bit for you Ann , SpringWatch was on earlier and I noticed it was Simon in Dorset who said it had poured yesterday, looked very nice where he was. My brother likes Lyme regis , they have been down there a few times.
