Sorry for the slight complication, but if you have any comments about the stories posted under the competition thread, can you maybe copy and paste the relevant story to this topic and then comment away to your heart's content - otherwise weeding the stories from the comments might turn out to be a bit of a "pain in the hole"!

Thanks again.

I thought this was an interesting line from Bluebell's story--
"...Why ? Because we loved the music, clothes, smell of Cecil"

---I don't know about that fella

Hi Bluebell, the DVDs will be posted to the winners, so it's ok, you can bring the small handbag/clutch to the reunion! ;)

Thanks BB! I swear as I wrote I could not stop thinking of so many things we did.  Like making swings around the pole or swings from the trees.  Walking in the river in St. Annes oh yuck but we did it.  Climbing the trees and of course playing all the games like red rover and such... oh gosh I could have wrote for ever.  Such a dreamy time in Dublin so much fun to be had.

Best so far is Teresa's story about hiding under the bed.

My vote would go to,,, Growing up in Dublin ,by Teresa,i think your last lines says it all .

 I would not change a thing about growing up in Dublin.  The pure freedom we had and the choices of places to go was great.

and so true about the sun,,

Next to Teresa is Pogue,s trip

You can checkout anytime u like but u can never leave

Thanks lads.

I must say I like everything I am reading.  Taylor captured the grove nights perfectly.  Gary I nearly wet myself reading your story not to mention others out there.  All good I have to say.

ah Jayz Ann ! that's great stuff.. so far - think I'll have to take the morning off to read it though !
will try to write a few lines but hard to beat your descriptive as ever posts!

great idea Andy, and love all the posts and looking forward to more; all these stories could make their way into the sequel to 32A

[edit] would that be 32B then ?

Ann Whelan is cheating. She forgot to divide her story into chapters and
she should lose some points for not mentioning Cecil.
