How enterprizing. Like Paula we didn't have a tv and the first tv I saw, was the Queen's coronation on my aunt 's t.v.<br /><br />I read a good deal and there was the radio, thank goodness wonderful Radio 4 is still with us producing excellent programmes. The Home Service as it was called in my day, really fed my imagination. Radio in many ways is far more inspiring than tv.and is ambrosia for the imagination.margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-13615698498285607342011-01-30T16:55:38.829-08:002011-01-30T16:55:38.829-08:00That was a great scene, Paula.

The time I started with a total blank was when I ended up my writing my elevator scene (am sure Ana will remember that one!) which I am still quite proud of!<br />Think laterally! ;-)Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-53084525229362916552011-01-30T14:29:20.923-08:002011-01-30T14:29:20.923-08:00Hi,

So having a book beneath the bedclothes with a torch was the norm! There was a veritable library of books in our house and I never lost my hunger for books. <br /><br />I'm dreading my due post tomorrow: blank! <br /><br />Anyhoo, good luck with getting back to your WIP.<br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-57175644547922773532011-01-30T12:24:02.103-08:002011-01-30T12:24:02.103-08:00This made me smile because NO-ONE had a television...This made me smile because NO-ONE had a television when I was a child. The first TV I ever saw was when I was 10, and watched the Queen's coronation on a tiny 9 inch (black and white) TV screen at the home of my aunt's friend! But, as you say, not having a TV did mean that we read more. I think we also used our imaginations more as we listened to stories and plays on the radio.<br />Good luck with your WIP :-)Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.com
