Quick as a flash

David T chose the camera cube as his prompt in today’s zoom workshop, writing about the Kodak Box Brownie 127 he used in his youth.

‘Most of the black and white photos I took were …’ he looked up and grinned, ‘locomotives!’ And we all laughed, for not a week goes by without him writing something relating to steam trains. He nodded when I asked whether he still has the photos.

‘Of course!’

‘You should put them on Facebook,’ I said, and his wife groaned.

‘Don’t encourage him!’

‘No seriously, people love photos of old trains on Facebook. They’re like … like … porn!’

And quick as a flash, David P chipped in, ‘like porn, only more interesting.’

The Church Mice* writing group is a small group of friendly writers who meet virtually on a Thursday afternoon for chat, chuckles and the odd bit of writing (some bits odder than others! 😁)

Sessions cost £5 and start at 3 pm. We have room for a couple more writers, so message me if you might like to join us.

*So named because we originally met in local church rooms. Note there's no requirement to be either religious or mice to be in the group.
