This tale was concocted (con-cock-ted?) while trapped in a plane returning from Gran
Canaria a few years ago.
Thought I had posted it to the website then, apparently not or their is a glitch which has
crept in to prevent it being displayed.
Hopefully, this re-posting will solve the problem.
The story is nonsense but, if you are trapped in a Dentist’s waiting room and stuck for
something to divert you from upcoming trauma, try it.

At our Writers’ Circus group the ‘chair’ rotates and the incoming ‘chair’ sets the topic
for the following monthly meeting.
The topic set was : “an unexpected encounter”.
This provided an opportunity to weave fantasy with fiction and get down snippet tales many
of my fishing, golfing and singing buddies will have heard, perhaps more than once?
The final scenario, a walk in the park on a snowy winter’s afternoon with a friend’s dog
did happen and I was in real danger, a near death experience which, I suppose, leads us to
the opening scene.

This snippet comes from a Ten Minute Challenge at our Writers’ Circus group.
The topic chosen was : “describe heaven”.
Margaret and I had recently been to the cinema to see the much acclaimed film “Yesterday”.
If you like Beatles music, you should see it, good clean fun and poignant too!

As regulars may know I am in several choirs. I love singing.
And Golf!
Pity I’m proficient at neither!

This is a tale from a recent encounter with our grandsons, Ethan (nearly 6) and Drew,
(newly 4).
I hope most parents and grandparents will recognise the atmosphere small children
create as they learn the ways of adults.

This weird tale was spawned by a Writers’ Circus challenge.
One of us, who shall remain nameless, once told us she liked spooky, psychological
intrigues, even though they scare her.
Buckle in, this one is as strange as they come, at least from me.

This is a piece for the Writers’ Circus on the theme, “Dinner”.
It is largely dialogue driven and I fear Jeanie Devine’s contributions may be hard for some to decipher.
Sorry.
Otherwise, be assured, it has a nice happy ending.

This is a lighthearted tale about an group of friends who are members of the Brillo Investment Club.
The piece was written in response to a Writers’ Circus challenge, “it’s only a suggestion”.
The Birllo Club is in the doldrums and Mrs Slyvi Newlands decides its time for a shake-up.

This is a spoof piece which was written in response to a Writers’ Circus challenge on the theme ‘That’s not going to work,’ she said bossily.
It came in a rush, more or less writing itself.
No, I have no direct experience of Am Dram but I do enjoy watching.
Go on, dive into the world of the amateur actor.

At our Writers’ Circus group we were given the topic for January 2019 of “a new beginning”.
As often happens, after a period of cogitation, with time pressing, I began to type with no clear idea of where I was heading.
This story came almost completely as a block of words, as if it had been lurking in my mind for years. And no, it is not autobiographical.
In its first version as submitted to the group, it was clunky and one-sided, written dispassionately, as if the narrator and observer were two different people. Then Kareth my inspirational, long-suffering editor and friend, encouraged me to ‘go for it!’, supplying insights and corrections from a female perspective.
I hope you will not find it too explicit.

This is a story is a flight of fancy set around thirty years from now.
I thought I had posted it to www.thebuzzinbee.co.uk last December but when I checked, it was absent. Regular readers will recall the website suffered a major glitch when our web hosting service ‘disappeared’ overnight, lost without trace.
So, you may have read Festimas 2057 before but if you have, dive in, refresh your brain cell and enjoy the music references all over again.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
