"There's no place like home."
My daughter was given a pair of red sparkly shoes for Christmas this year, or the ruby slippers as they've now been dubbed. I've always wanted a pair like these since watching the Wizard of Oz as a child, as I'm sure many others do. Aside from red being my favourite colour and being drawn in like a magpie by their sparkliness, I have always had a fascination with the notion of seemingly inanimate objects possessing a magical quality. If it's not ruby slippers, or a world at the back of wardrobe it's genies in lamps and the ability to control others with a magical ring... One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
I'm off to explore my house now and see what interesting objects there are that I could imagine imbued with magical properties, and I might just write a story about them :)
And below is my new and very lovely notebook that I shall be filling with such stories and imaginations...

My version of O Little Town of Bethlehem
Written for the Wombourne Writers Christmas meeting, here is my rehashing of O Little Town of Bethlehem...
O
Christmas Day is Nearly Here
O
Christmas day is nearly here,
To
shops we rush and buy,
More
useless crap and tat we get
To
wrap then wonder why.
Those
singing socks and underpants
That
never will get worn.
Dad’s
Santa beard and Christmas cheer
Meet
with derisive scorn.
O
overcooked huge turkey
Carved
up on Christmas day,
With
roast veggies and stuffing balls
Soaked
in lumpy gravy.
Slump
down in front of Christmas shows
As
family starts to yell.
Crackers
now pulled and jokes are told,
Before
Boxing Day sales!
