Monday Morning Photo - Plaza Grande de Zafra

Zafra was an absolute delight, Plaza Grande, which has two differente areas, walk through an arch - to another ancient plaza, this is the smaller of the two. So photogenic and a good time of day, about 5pm, to fiind them pretty empty, sadly we had to move on so didn´t see the open bar bustle of the evening.   Definitely would have planned to stay over or at least longer had I known just how charming it is, but it was the first stop on a whistlestop Extremadura with a pop into Portugal long weekend roadtrip.  See the Monday Morning Photo list.

Short Stories


Just occasionally I write a short story, more often than not for a competition. Some I've found in notebooks and don't remember writing them! So I thought it would be a good idea to put them together on one page so they can be found again. I should probably go through all the notebooks I have too!

My Short Story Collection - may it grow...

The (Sad and Silly) Tale of Two Pairs of Sunglasses - Part 1

The (Sad and Silly) Tale of Two Pairs of Sunglasses - Part 2


A Life Changing Day This was for a competition in which I was shortlisted.

I did this as a post but found it in a notebook more as a story. Learning Fig Drying and Fig Roll Making From the Local Ladies

Also not really a short story but a competition entry entitled My Perfect Day in the Cotswolds for which I was a runner-up.
