The theme for October was 'This Life’, the brief - to submit a 500 word story of own choice, developing a title for it using the title 'This (......) Life". As always it was a great delight to open up and read the stories as they came in, with titles including ‘This (Blessed) Life’; ‘This (Adventurous) Life’; ’This (Extraordinary) Life’; ‘This (Working) Life’ ; ‘This (Writing) Life’; ‘This (Downsizing) Life’ and ‘This (Milk of Human Kindness) Life’. With downsizing often a topic of conversation when U3A members meet, Margaret Nelson’s story ‘This (Downsizing) Life’ has been included under 'Covid Musings' in the November newsletter.
Our theme for November is ‘Triggers’ - Keep a notebook close at hand this month in which to note any ‘triggers’ which led you to reminisce about a time in your life. You may have been talking to someone, watching television or a film, driving somewhere, reading a book. Choose one to three of these and write about the memories evoked – keeping the total words to 500 – 750 words. Send your stories in for our online collection beforehand and bring them along to share in person at our end of year afternoon ‘coffee and cake’ session at the Northo, (North Eastern Hotel, near the Railway crossing) from 2.30 to 4pm on Monday 23rd November. Hope to see you there - - if you get a moment, e-mail me at [email protected] to let me know you are coming.
