As I surely hope that the person whose prompts I get given has done one of these I will try my best to say what sort of stuff I like and so on. So I will pootle about with my original prompts etc and see how we go. I think I'll put the additions in blue, just for clarity's sake.

White Castle, Abergavenny
We have spent today in the 14th Century and it was huge fun as usual. The ladies sang, the children danced and made daisy chains, the men got to hit each other with swords. We ate pears in spiced red wine and marchpane too. Rose got a bull in archery and the group were given banana cake by an impressed member of the public which we ate for lunch. ( Read more... ) -
Summer Has Exploded...
...all over the meadow at the bottom of our hill. I could see great drifts of pollen blowing up the mountain this morning.

It is an intensely sweet, almost edible smell and just sitting in the same room as him is enough to give ( Read more... ) -
Is it Summer yet?
Almost the end of May, the hawthorn is flowering like mad, we've got lambs and the leaves have finally got moving on the oak trees but ohmygosh it is still so cold.

Song of the Sea
For SSHG echange mods attention:
This was a fic that I wrote some time ago when I was still into Twilight ff. I am posting it here as proof that I can write a fic of over 1500 words for the sshg exchange! It probably will not stay here very long. It was written in response to a folklore fic challenge and involves selkies. It also contains my first ( Read more... ) -
Getting back to painting again
I am going to sign up to the HG/SS exchange and I am getting a bit wibbly about writing a whole plotted story to a prompt. I haven't done anything like it in years, but it is the cool sort of giggly wibbles that one gets before going down a scary watershoot or something ( Read more... )
