Friday June 19 was another wonderful
virtual gathering of story sharing. Our numbers were small so everyone who wanted to, had the
chance to share a song or story.
One of the thoroughly fantastic things
about virtual evenings is the way people check in from distant suburbs, other
states and even from overseas.
We enjoyed a story and song from David in
the UK, Shirley in Brisbane and other folks beamed in from closer to Newport,
including Altona and Yarraville. Technology! Amazing!
Many thanks for the tales shared: the tall
stories, the autobiographical, the gothic, the heartbreak of Annachie
Gordon (song) and the beauty found in the world of Eleanor Farjeon.
We’ll be gathering again on July 17 and if you
subscribe to this blog, you'll receive a reminder.
The picture you see is the Newport Power Station.
It’s what I see outside of my window when I look up from my computer screen.
The chimney is visible for kilometres, making home easy to find. And needless
to say, it’s a Newport icon.
