I don't know what it is about the Writing Workshop that inspires me so much. I think it's that I give myself permission to really think about what I'm writing and how I'm expressing myself. x<br /><br />Kerry, thank you, you're very kind. I hope you've got lots of support at this difficult time x<br /><br />Livi, it's good to let some of that grief out now and again as we learn to cope with loss x <br /><br />Susie, what a sweet thing to say.

The pain is still somewhat raw, but it simmers below the surface. Recently it broke through when my husband and I were talking about sheds and the remembered the exciting smell of warm metal, oil and petrol that used to surround mu grandad's shed.<br /><br />I am new to Writers Workshop, but I am enjoying it so much so far.SeaThreePeeOhttp://seathreepeeo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-11098497334771163822010-06-09T17:22:15.695+01:002010-06-09T17:22:15.695+01:00Beautifully written.Beautifully written.If I Could Escape . . .https://www.blogger.com/profile/13509446801149736674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-86234745174109805892010-06-09T16:37:26.090+01:002010-06-09T16:37:26.090+01:00lovely, Sandy xxlovely, Sandy xxellahttp://notesfromhome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-56025774230475090952010-06-09T16:04:30.415+01:002010-06-09T16:04:30.415+01:00I love the way you have written this, Sandy.
