Over on my Myplace2 blog I have been running a series of challenges. Some of these challenges have been suggested by other bloggers and the latest one is a writing challenge. Perhaps members of this group would like to take up the SeasideMan's challenge?

Write a short story not containing the letter "e", and then post it.

Here is my own submission:

Transport

In my youth I had so much fun. My family was poor but happy, and I was rich in imagination. My days and nights had such magical quality. I took walks in and around my town. Roaming uphill and downhill, playing in brooks, catching fish and occasionally train-spotting. By today’s standards an almost idyllic childhood.

A particular day springs to mind. My dad wasn’t working and was taking our family on a coach trip to Bridlington. Loads of mums, dads and kids stood waiting for an hour or so but no sign of transport of any kind.

So with picnics in hand and raring to go a gigantic town picnic was quickly in full swing. Sons and dads brought chairs and rugs. Mums and girls put out an amazing array of food and drink.

Towards dusk, music rang around our town with singing and dancing giving it an almost carnival air.

This was a happy family day out for all and practically in our own backyard.

Transport - what transport?

No thanks!

Right - start writing - NOW!
