In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Door.” This isn’t the greatest photo, but when I saw the topic, I thought even for the sign on the door, it was a worthy post. I took this in St Albans, Hertfordshire at the Clock Tower.

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “In the Summertime.” Summer only began on June 21, which was a week ago last Sunday. I was shocked when I saw someone say something about it being the first day of summer, as I thought we were already deep in the midst of it judging by […]

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Take It From Me.” What’s the best piece of advice you’ve given someone that you failed to take yourself? Advice is a funny thing as most people aren’t really looking for advice when they ask your opinion, but instead for someone to agree with what they have already determined […]

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “The Golden Hour.” The prompt asked, “6:00 AM: the best hour of the day, or too close to your 3:00 AM bedtime?” My alarm goes off at 5:30 am on the mornings that I haven’t already turned it off and began my day. Sometimes I grumble to myself […]
