This is my second entry for the month of June and for The Bard's Hall Contest (13+)

JUNE: Annual Blog/Journal Month!


Today has been a particularly lazy day. I woke up in the night to a massive storm. Hail, thunder, lightning, in fact everything the heavens could throw at us. My husband brought me my usual morning tea in bed and I listened to the weather and watched the trees outside my window as they swayed to and fro. I sipped the tea and all my previously planned day was discarded in favour of a day at home and a log fire.
Wednesday is the usual day of the week when I attend my local writer's group. It's an all female group which has been going for 27 years. I've been a part of it for seven of those.

Yesterday I wrote in my blog, about the fifty years worth of VHS tapes which have been on my mind lately. Watching them with my husband has stirred emotions. Those videos of us as young parents with three children under four years of age, brought both laughter and tears. Where are all these people now? Where have they gone? Where did the years go and why didn't we realise how young, beautiful and healthy we all were? It's a very good thing we can't see the future. My three babies are all in their fifties now, one is a grandmother herself.
My other two, a boy and a girl were undiagnosed twins, each weighed over 6lbs when they were born. Of course this was in the times of no ultrasound, so these mistakes were made.
How I missed having my mum with me then. My family were all in England and we'd emigrated just a year before the twins were born.

One wonders how much of our life's experiences we use unconsciously as we write our stories.
