The next 3 blogs are being done today Friday 28th November because l have been very ill with some sort of virus. Luckily l am feeling a bit better today, so am putting the backlog up.
Today's word is LOCAL. I decided that l would interpret today's word as the area l live in. That means Putney and Putney Common. I thought about the houses around me, the shops and local scenery. I was wondering what image to take when it suddenly came to me. What links my flat with the area around and the town of Putney...the number 242 bus that leaves from out side my flat down into the centre of Putney. when l wss ill after my back surgery and l couldnt walk very far, this bus was my life line.
