I've done writing/poetry workshops for all ages, down to 4. Those tots started off sitting on a carpet in front of me on my chair, and gradually ooched forward more and more until some of them were climbing on me! Adorbs.

Primary children, turning up to write after school! They loved it and so did I. Children show us what we could do if we wrote without fear, if we just told the story.<br /><br />Sharing this on my FB author page.Linda Gillardhttp://www.lindagillard.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-11912914181041764572015-06-09T10:51:38.989+01:002015-06-09T10:51:38.989+01:00My dad's family's from around there - we u...My dad's family's from around there - we used to have a beach hut at Felixstowe.

There's so much energy, no-one's judgemental about the ideas of others, and their unfettered imaginings seem to come to them so naturally. Everything is possible. Thanks for a lovely warm post, Julia.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-87461395512953025352015-06-09T10:22:32.256+01:002015-06-09T10:22:32.256+01:00Thank you, Julia - what a lovely, hearwarming post...Thank you, Julia - what a lovely, hearwarming post!Sandra Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01761260568729338471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-81513026035038264812015-06-09T10:18:51.304+01:002015-06-09T10:18:51.304+01:00Julia, you are quite obviously a warm, sympathetic...Julia, you are quite obviously a warm, sympathetic, understanding, inspiring visitor to schools, and they are so lucky to have you.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.com
