Words and Pictures – A Long Drive

March 31, 2009

Inspired by an evocative Sonia Hartnett piece, which was published in the Sunday Life magazine recently, I thought A Long Drive would be a great theme for Words and Pictures this week. Do with it what you will, lovely people!

Things you need to know :
Within the theme suggested-
You can post something you’ve written or something you’ve drawn or an image
You don’t have to write beautifully or perfectly.
You don’t have to write a lot.
Also, you don’t need to be an amazing photographer or artist
But rather, just post something about the theme. Words or pictures. Or both. Just have a go. Simple.
Perhaps you might post some distant memories, or a story you made up, or an old photo, maybe tell us something you once read about the theme, write in rhyme, detail a snatch of overheard conversation, you might recount an anecdote… it could be anything really.
Just some words. Or some pictures. Or both.
Like I said, nothing fancy.
Just do it your way.
Just for fun.

Sign up below, if you would like to join in!

xx Pip

    Dear Pip,
    This might sound really stupid,but do I need to have a blog to join in with Words and Pictures?
    P.S.I have just ordered your book from readings.
    Love Louisa

    The photo was taken on the drive down to the beach at Flinders in Victoria!

    I really like this idea. Thank you.

    My post is scheduled to come up tomorrow morning, but I linked in now because I know that I will forget to do it tomorrow… Hope that is OK.

    As soon as I read this weeks theme, I knew I wanted to join in – one particular long drive is never far from my mind. Thanks for the inspiration x

    Hello Pip
    Thought I’d take part this week – love your photo. Would you like to tell where it is?
    Take care

    Great topic Pip – I love a long drive almost as much as I love arriving home from one xxx

    Thank you for the inspiration. I have been reading the stories but decided I couldn’t miss out on the fun so joined in!

    Such a lovely photo, and some lovely stories and images from other people already. For me the idea of a long drive brought back memories of drives that went terribly and as a consequence felt eternal! I love the idea of this project, look forward to taking part again in the future.

    I had planned to write about something else, but mine just came back to me. Funny about inspiration.

  • MissyP March 31, 2009 at 3:31 PM

    Thanks for the memories Pip!

    This is the perfect nudge for me to write about the beautiful journey driving from Brisbane – Melbourne and back again a week or two again. (for the Stitches & Craft show, and then wonderfully meeting you at mikes!).
    Thanks for this theme.

    I really love the long drive photo you’ve chosen.
