This book came about almost by accident and certainly because of lockdown. Jude introduced her Mum and Aunt to the wonders of zoom and the three women, in different countries, connected every Sunday evening (morning in Canada). During lockdown, conversations were very predictable and limited to politics, covid numbers and the state of long unruly hair.

These creative women in their 50’s, 70’s and 80’s set each other writing tasks for the following week and then shared their work amid oohs and aahs and tears and belly laughs. Just what was needed as week after week they were stuck at home. The creativity, story telling and poetry are varied and at times moving or intriguing or just funny and ridiculous

Now that lockdown is hopefully easing, they still continue their weekly meetings. It is hoped that readers might be inspired to try this way of writing and have fun trying some of the assignments mentioned in the book.
