Words and Pictures?

I've been reading the same book that Claire has been reading. (Because I DO like Claire.) It's called 'Bird by Bird' by Anne Lamott and it's about writing. Stuffing up writing, actually. But also about practising and getting it right. It's about jumping in and scribbling things down, and about how important it is to just let some words out sometimes. Some of which might actually express what you mean! If you are lucky!

I really like writing. And I like pictures too. I need to practise. And I thought it might be nice to share a little bit more of me (in words and pictures) on my blog. So here is what I am going to do. I'm going to think of a theme each week to write a little piece about. (You can join me, if you would like.)

Things you need to know :
You don't have to write beautifully or perfectly.
You don't have to write a lot.
Also, you don't need to be an amazing photographer.
But rather, just post something about the theme. Words or pictures. Or both. Just have a go. Simple.
Perhaps you might post some distant memories, or a story you made up, or an old photo, maybe tell us something you once read about the theme, write in rhyme, detail a snatch of overheard conversation, you might recount an anecdote... it could be anything really.
Just some words. Or some pictures. Or both.
Like I said, nothing fancy.
Just do it your way.
Just for fun.

The first theme is - 'School Lunches'.

(In honour of Ms Lamott.) Do with it what you will. In words - or pictures - or both. I'm going to write mine tomorrow, but you start when you like!
