A terrific pieceContinue reading “Sweet Shops”

Booming Lovelies
Hello Poetry Lovers And we’re off….. to Soho on Tuesday. It’s finally here at the Spice of Life on Tuesday afternoon. Getting very apprehensive now. No more rehearsing, and nursing a part, we know every part by heart as the song goes. Which isn’t strictly true, there’s some pieces I still have to use theContinue reading “Booming Lovelies”
The Booming Lovelies ….

Dietary Dedication

I personally remember counting all those calories (under a 1,000?!) and buying those slimming biscuits. So lovely and talented poet Trisha Broomfield has summed all this nail-biting era up with her wonderful piece below. Some ofContinue reading “Dietary Dedication”
Housewives Corner
Hello Poetry Lovers Once again I could not resist another prompt from Sue Burge’s Mind Gym. This one featured Cleaning cum Housework. One of my favourite themes, I immediately put pen to paper. Now you must remember being round someone’s house as a child, and it was like a new pin. Wasn’t it a bore?!Continue reading “Housewives Corner”
Domestic Corner…

I mean, my dollshouse is immaculate, not a hair out of place but a 1:1 home …. Well…. The lovely talented poet Trisha Broomfield has given us a sharpContinue reading “Domestic Corner…”

AnywayContinue reading “Welcome back to Nostalgia Corner”
Nostalgia Corner..
Hello Poetry Lovers Once again I have become nostalgic and have turned my attention this time to Talcum Powder. Not that boring Johnson’s one for babies in Superdrug, but the Christmas present staple we used to receive by relatives and family friends. Scorned publicly but privately treasured, especially in their beautifully decorated tins. Anyway I’veContinue reading “Nostalgia Corner..”
