Lockdown Easing July 2021
If you look around your house and garden there must be over a hundred objects that you take for granted. Perhaps an old suitcase in the attic; a clock on the wall or a garden rubbish skip. Each member of our group nominated one of these ob-jects for everyone else to include in a piece of writing, either directly or indirectly. So, the clock symbolised the importance of time in a story about a top journalist and her very different sister and a wedding ring was unceremoniously deposit-ed in the skip. Our other topic for this year featured everyday characters from our families and community such as a postman and a teenager.

Group members were pleased to contribute to the 'Creations' section of our website - from the thoughts of a Garden Shed to laughing at Lock-down we hope we cheered you up. And if anyone would like to take up writing as a hobby, please read my 'Beginners Guide' in the 'Discovery' section.
