I have often seen the picture above on my journey around Blogland but I thought it was some sort of online course that people were doing. I've just found out that the Writing Workshop is something organised by Josie over at Sleep is for the weak - every week she post's idea's for you to blog about. So, never one to be left out lol, I have decided to have a go.

Yorkshire Puddings…. Part 2

I put the DVD in the trolley and pushed the trolley over to the CD's and then I saw a nice pink mobile phone so I continued on to there. All normal here you may be thinking but.... The … [Read more...]
