Prompt: Beret.
Berets always remind me of my childhood in England. Now that’s a very long time ago and at school we had to wear a beret as part of the uniform. Navy blue it was.
When I was seven years old I joined the Brownies. That was a group for girls who were too young to join the Girl Guides. Along with my brown dress, brown leather belt, the beret was also brown as you may have guessed.
You would suspect I would never wear such a thing ever again by choice but I am the owner of two berets. One black and one Maroon. I wear them each day in winter and always get comments about how Parisienne I look. Chez Chic.
Now my thoughts have turned to France, I must make mention of my recent visit to see the theatre production of the musical Moulin Rouge at the Crown Theatre in Perth.
It was a fabulous evening, we had amazing seats three rows back from the stage. It was as if I was in the sleazy part of Paris, Montmartre, at the time of Toulouse Le Trec and the night life, the street artists, painters and dancing girls.
I was inspired to write my latest short story ‘Burning Issue’ if you want to check it out in my Portfolio. It’s set in Montmartre at the time of the World Fair in 1890.
