Deanna showcase imageLovely colouring and a really natural pose. I had never noticed the blue "Tonsure" on a blue tit's head before.- Less Friar Tuck, more Friar Tit. LolViewDate:

Creative writing: memoirsExcellent article. Often thought about this but never actually made a start. I have led what I think has been a interesting life, though with several very distinct stages. I think this might lead me on to writing a chapter 1 and then see what people think before going any further. Thanks for the prompt. PeterViewDate:

SpanishHi Lujo,, I am Peter. I did A level Spanish ( and French ) when I was at school and had a couple of pen friends at the same time. I have always kept trying to keep up these languages but struggled. With the advent of more a foreign holidays I have had a few changes of using the odd sentence and this winter had a couple of LONGER conversations in Spanish over a meal. I would love to spend several months a year in Spain or the Canary islands and take this further. If not then I would really welcome the chance to link up with someone to speak Spanish with. I topped up my knowledge by using the app Duo lingo. This is a free app and uses written and sound tools. It is a good way to really get started but then move on to more advanced stuff. Is your interest in learning it or helping others ? Either way I wish you well. PeterViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi Amelies gran. I to o have just joined on here (right above you). I was also in teaching, though secondary. One of the reasons that I joined this is because I am wanting to develop my knowledge of Spanish. I went to Tenerife this Christmas and got into a talk with some Spanish people. It left me wanting to refresh my linguistic knowledge and spend more time in Spanish territories maybe starting with a month or three in the Canaries next winter. I want to do the same with French. Perhaps we could swoop experiences. If nothing else, it is good to know there are people on the same wave length on here. Peter ( Everyoung)ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.His folks. I am Peter and am recently retired. I spent years in teaching (secondary age, with years as a Head teacher before leaving to work in the "real" world ). I have never accepted being old - hence "Everyoung". I got into photography in the era of film... hours spent in the loft playing with trays of chemicals and very cold evenings,.so much easy in the digital age. I moved a few years ago to using software (mostly photoshop ) to not only edit my shots,but also to create from scratch what I consider to be art. In doing so I got into modernist art ( from1880s to 1970s ). I love learning new stuff. Every time I get near to becoming an"expert" I change to learning anew subject. I suppose it is the challenge of learning that drives me rather than the satisfaction of knowing things itself. I do a lot of charity work now can choose what I do cos nobody is paying me. I am a Trustee of Citizens Advice, having retired as Chair of Trustees last year after almost years. I am also mentor and a trainer for The Princes Trust. That is so satisfying to work with amazing young people and help them get what they deserve from life. Why am I on here ? Well I am honestly afraid of getting isolated as I get older. Kids have grown up and both getting married within the next 12 months. I need my brain stimulating and challenging. So that is my request to all of you on here. Answer my plea and challenge and stimulate me. I am ready willing and able. Peter
