Writing at Idyllic Coney Island

Beautiful day down at Coney Island yesterday with Maddie, Jo, Rhonda, Fionnuala & I. The sun was shining (as predicted) on the sparkling sea, it was warm and everyone was in a relaxed holiday mood. After sharing our 'top tips' for writers, we did a couple of writing exercises - both very productive, and as always fun! It's amazing how we can all come up with such different stories using the same object as a prompt - a patterned china mug. The session was rounded off by a yummy lunch at Jo's house - fresh bread with smoked salmon & tomato, basil & mozzarella salad, followed by fresh strawberries, raspberries & blueberries - a perfect menu to end a perfect day!
