When thinking of the number seven, I always consider it lucky. In Christianity, it represents the amount of days it took to create the world. Although, there are many other cultures who believe it has a spiritualist and powerful meaning.

An unfortunate numeral would be thirteen, especially on Friday 13th.

However, for my mum, it was a rewarding day, because she won a thousand pounds at bingo. I remember seeing the money (all in pound notes) on our front room table. I had never seen so much cash. This was forty years ago, and it would be worth a whole lot more.

I received a fold-up bike from my parents; it was new, and paid for all in one go. It had a lovely basket at the front, and I used it for my first job.

What is luck? I’m not sure, but if I weren’t busy, I would be going to my local bingo hall.

  3. ah doesn’t look like my earlier comment has survived the WP gremlins. Loving the writing and so pleased you found Seven for September, but sadly won’t be able to include this in the next gallery as Squares is an image challenge.
