I’ve a 5 a.m. departure for the airport on Friday 17th and
because I’d have no time to post words and winners (never mind my own pieces!) the
deadline will be midnight on Wednesday
15th June, words and winners posted Thursday. The following Friday,
24th, I shall still be incommunicado in Italy, so will schedule new words, but will
have been unable to comments or nominate a winners. Perhaps each of you could name
your favourite? Normal service will return after 28th.
So many excellent entries this week that it is, as so
often the case, near impossible to choose a favourite, so in the spirit of
encouragement I’ll place William’s first episode of “Little Martyn 1665” in the
top spot, and would also thank him, Antonia and Patricia for faithfully
commenting this week - almost as important as entering.
Words for the coming week are: bun, imperfect, lemon
Entries by
