By the time August draws to a close the holiday season will almost be over, London streets may be returned to the overtaxed residents and even the French will be back at what passes for work.
Our subject will be “My Summer Holiday”. It does not have to be this year’s event, just something memorable to the participant. Some of my most remembered are the annual Sunday school day trips to Porthcawl via GWR in the fifties. (It always rained).
If you really did spend your hard earned at the Olympics, (or watching cricket) that’s OK but your offering will be judged accordingly, as will entries submitted on currency or negotiable instruments.
Any form or scheme. Closing at midnight EDST on August 31.

Thank you, LW, I’ll do my best, or my worst. š

LW – I am due in Scotland next week for a holiday. Perhaps I’ll sit on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond and see what comes to mind!
I hear the unmistakeable call of feral times at Slacky Bottom! š®

Just noticed your deadline, LW, which happens to be the date that daughter No.2 is due to give birth to my second grandchild. So with this in mind, I have started my contribution to the competition. If all goes according to plan, which is not guaranteed, it should be finished before the 31st.
Done, here it is:
