  • Once upon a Grape - DIY Fiction

    We Grapes are going to write a Novel! Crime, Romance, Intrigue - you decide
    You can each write a maximum of three sentences following on from the previous ones, using the same characters but you can introduce new ones too.
    Let us see where our literary juices lead us

Assuming that one of his old friends was in their shed and had forgotten to close the gate, he closed it behind him and headed towards his own little piece of heaven - Plot 39...........

          .....as Harry sadly surveyed this sorry state of affairs who should come flying in but Chris , champion of baby blackbirds the world over. He quickly and expertly untangled the netting , then whipped out a cosy little box to rest the exhausted bird in.
