If I made a mistake he would shout, and cling on to the other wheel like his life depended on it. On one occasion I gotContinue reading “Throwback Thursday – Learning to Drive”

When my daughter was ten she didn’t like reading, and then Harry Potter changed all that. We readContinue reading “https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2021/08/27/stupify/”
Fandango – Word Prompt – Magnet
Mary and Sarah said their nightly prayer before going to sleep. I recited one of my own. Sleeping with one I open, I wanted the weather to remain calm, just until we reached land. From the breath of the air, and the dove on the mast, it was only a few days away. I watchedContinue reading “Fandango – Word Prompt – Magnet”

Dad
I love walking in the rain, it is a way of settling my emotions of the day. Autumn leaves remind me of golden sunsets long ago, where I watched the sun go down with my dad. Interested in his life because he was my hero, I listened to his stories. He would speak of whatContinue reading “Dad”
What do you call a group of writers?
There isn’t one you can find, but I when I searched Google, many me laugh. A scribble of writers was the best one I came across – and a very worthy name. We all learn best by scribbling down notes. Ours stories, from one imagining to another, create pictures only we can see. When myContinue reading “What do you call a group of writers?”

Pirate in Training – From Word Prompts
https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/25/fowc-with-fandango-forward/ I am left alone in my comfortable prison, aware of nothing more than the lies my mother told me. The memories stolen from me because she wanted me to be free of the chains of the sea. Who made the choice to prise us apart? How could a mother choose between her children? PerhapsContinue reading “Pirate in Training – From Word Prompts”
A Day at the Farm
I start my new job next week, so I am taking all the chances of spending time with my daughter, granddaughter, and grandson. We gave him the choice of whether he wanted to stay at home or go to the farm. At thirteen you don’t just assume. He wanted to go, and I’m looking forwardContinue reading “A Day at the Farm”
