    Post Hello from England

    Well, I've been writing for many years on and off. Caught the bug in an English class run by a marvelous teacher who was ex RAF, and part time actor. He told us the most marvelous stories from his past and in doing so kept me awake and in learning mode.

    That was in my last year of school before entering the real world, and much too late to improve my grammer and spelling by then! I really should have stopped day dreaming and stayed focused during lessons in previous years.

    Nearly 40 years down the road, my grammer and spelling has not improved much if any, but that has not stopped the enjoyment of writing.

    Apart from "grammer", your punctuation, grammar and spelling look absolutely fine to me .

    Anyway, welcome to Writing Forums; I'm looking forward to seeing some of your work. Good luck!

    Ah, a fellow Englishman. What ho! Tea, is it? Tea!

    Because, of course, that's how all Englishman are.



    Sorry, that was just for me. Welcome to the boards, I hope that the boards can help you with your writing, which to me looks perfectly formed.
    Be seeing you.
    Insert profundity here.

    Bruno, I will find some work that hasn't found its way into the bin,

    Tea with Felix sounds okay. No sugar!

    Nickie, try as I might, or is it may, the minute I spend too much time trying to get the depth of field or F Sfop correct, along with all the rest of it, I stop enjoying the whole process. but yuu are correct and I would always encourage new writers to hone all of their writing skills and not be a lazy, like what I am.

    Some of these smilies are new to me, so I'm hoping I got the right ones on the screen and not giving insult to any one. Putting my glasses on woulld help.

    Welcome to the forum

    I'm also from England but moved to Mallorca with my husband and 2 kids about 6 years ago. Just in case you look at my introduction I am not called Philip and a man, as an Englishman you will probably see my name is Philippa. Didn't realise it was confusing until I read my welcome messages!!

    Anyway welcome and I look forwards to reading some of your work.

    Philippa Ll must be Welsh....

    I note that our newbie didn't give an address, so no tea then...

    Hi there, welcome to the community.
