Latest prompt

Since we came back from our short trip to Honfleur in northern France, I’ve been struck down with VERTIGO.

I had always thought you only got that if you were on a hugh building looking down! Sadly, that is not the case & at the moment I’m not really safe to go walking on my own. It looks like I might have had too many glasses of wine!

Anyway, I thought it was a great opportunity for a prompt for you all to write about. It is:

Things to think about:

• What has happened to you?
• Where are you?
• What does it feel like?
• What will you do?
