I can’t wait to see it in print, and look forward to reading the other amazing poems, as well as my own. Normally I prefer writing longer pieces, howeverContinue reading “CIVIC LEICESTER”

Original?
Written in response to https://earthlycomforts.uk/ Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want? My blog isn’t all that original. When I write it is either for a word prompt, or sometimes a book review. Do you recover well from setbacks to your plans? I brush myself down, andContinue reading “Original?”
Rule Breaker
This week’s prompt https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ I’m not sure how to answer this question, as I am not a big rule breaker in general. Even during Covid, I stuck to the rules, didn’t meet up with my daughter, even though she wasn’t far away. The rule was there to keep my family safe, so I wasn’t goingContinue reading “Rule Breaker”
Generation Gap
Written for the prompt https://lindaghill.com/2023/04/07/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-april-8-2023/ This week the word gen, has got me thinking about the different generations. My parents were older, so my nieces and nephews are near my age. My sister was sixteen when I was born, my brother ten. I don’t think I was meant to happen, but I was loved allContinue reading “Generation Gap”

Blogging Beginner
Written in response to https://saltedcaramel670.wordpress.com/2023/04/03/blogging-insights-3-0-6-any-regrets/ I have only been blogging for two years, I have a few regrets. Some of the sites I followed at first, looked good with the name of them, like they were designed to promote women, but in reality, some of the posts were the opposite. It was well written, justContinue reading “Blogging Beginner”
Writing East Midlands – Writer’s Conference
Written in response to https://fivedotoh.com/2023/04/02/fowc-with-fandango-bask/ Yesterday I was lucky enough to be given a ticket to The Writer’s Conference, held by the University of Derby. A day packed with exciting events; Rikki Beadle Blair and Joella Taylor were keynote speakers.

Milk
For https://lindaghill.com/2023/03/24/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-march-25-2023/ we are given the word emptying. I remember when I was a young girl, getting our milk from the milkman. We always had a couple of bottles, with the thicker, gold, on the top. I loved having that on my cornflakes because it tasted so nice. They sell them in proper bottles now,Continue reading “Milk”
Waiting
Written for https://lightmotifs.wordpress.com/2023/03/20/tmp100-target/ and her Monday peeve. If you are waiting for someone to repair an appliance, or other work, and they tell us they will be here between nine and five. You stay in, most of the day, and they come right at the end. Wouldn’t it be better for a text to say,Continue reading “Waiting”
No Sense
My post is written in response to https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/03/20/share-your-world-march-20th/ 1. Do you use an ‘air freshener’ in your home/car/office? (solid, gel, spray, pot pourri, etc) I use an air freshener in my car, but I own a dog, and don’t have an air freshener in my house. Perhaps it would be a good idea, but IContinue reading “No Sense”
