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'm not even supposed to be here today! |

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

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. ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

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.

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. ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

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

So funny reading all the posts especially yours Ann! You always write with such vivid memories and they are a delight to read. I swear after reading them all I was almost tempted to write another one taking in another aspect of life. There are so many lines to the story of life. ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

I really think you would have got a better laugh Andy if you asked us to write about our life after growing up in Dublin!...... like when we had kids and went around the bend. ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

I have a confession to make. A few bits of my stories are not true. I made a
few parts up because I hate losing and want to win a ticket badly. I was raised very poor and I never won a raffle or anything in my life and Im from a huge family and all of my brothers and sisters have cancer. I intend sending the ticket to Africa to feed the hungry. |
