The idea of Sunday Photo Fiction is to create a story /
poem or something using around about 200 words with the photo as a guide. It
doesn’t have to be centre stage in the story, I have seen some where the
placement is so subtle, the writer states where it is.
Once
you have written and posted your story, please add the link to the inlinkz
froggy icon below and add it to the collection so we can all have a read.
The
main object is to have fun.
ANOTHER ONE
So here we were again. Another museum in another town in another
summer. How many more summer holidays would
we suffer traipsing from one old house or historical building or educational
establishment that would ‘help us’ when we were older?
Dad knew it all. Mum suffered it all. My brother didn’t care. He only wanted the food in the cafĂ©,
restaurant or pub, if we were lucky and if we could get in as a family.
I cared but my opinion wasn’t
listened to. I loved museums. I loved historical buildings. I could get lost in the history. I imagined all the stories that went with the
people who lived in these places or used the artefacts, again, my opinion
didn’t count.
At least this summer we had a bit
more money. This year we upgraded the
camping site to one with electricity and a shower block - perhaps one day we
would upgrade to a hotel. That would be the day.
When I am working and have my own
money I will work in such places. I will
have all the time in the world to look at everything.
When I am a grown-up.

When I am a grown up. I like that. I remember being taken around places when I was younger. I hated it. Going to museums. Now I love it. I will go to one whenever I get the chance.
ReplyDeleteI love going to museums! We do take our kids to museums all the time; for the most part they like them too, so were lucky. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely family vacation and I bet when they grow up, they do the same.

It's tough keeping everyone happy on holiday.
ReplyDeleteOur summer vacations were much like this except we actually stayed in hotels (thank goodness for the pools!).
