She was brooding upstairs in her bedroom,
Abandoned, depressed and alone,
But was roused by her mum
Shouting "hurry, dear! Come!
For here's Ivy for you, on the phone!"

Rosemary, it's a wonderful way to waste time on a Sunday. Every week, Tess at Magpie Tales blogspot (easy to find) provideds a picture, and you're invited to write a piece for it. You then link your offering back to her blog. It's qutie fun, but usually I should be doing somehting eolse!
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
I can be contacted by email: franstott@waitrose.com
I always snigger at these.
ReplyDeleteFancy recognising the Ivy I can barely remember phones that look like this.
