In Our Own Write – May/June 2026

Having rather reluctantly returned from our very romantic Golden wedding trip down the Nile in a dahabiya it was back to reality and the wonderful imagination of my fellow writers. Our meeting was held on the 11th May and the topic was “Who would have guessed?“.

Indeed who would have guessed that our eldest and most  revered participant would give us a tale of a leather clad biker taking his revenge on another biker for wronging his sister? There was a twist in the tale which, to spare any blushes, I will just say that it involved silk underwear.

After that, the rest of our contributions seemed quite tame.

We had a bus company converting its fleet to electric vehicles which although worked fine in the summer literally ground to a halt in wet and cold winter weather.

A newly purchased teddy bear being accidentally left behind on a bus and then making a new friend of a smaller teddy in the Lost Property office. A happy ending for them when the first teddy’s owner reclaimed both.

A voluntary visitor unexpectedly inheriting a fortune following the death of the old lady that she had visited for several years.

Our next meeting will be on the 8th June and the title is “They met on a Monday…”
