Monday Morning Photo - Palacio de la Merced, Cordoba

Once one of the most important buildings in Córdoba, Palacio de la Merced was founded in XIII century as a  Mercedarian monastery. When the order was dissolved it became an orphanage then in the 1970s a Provincial Government seat. The Baroque portal is in the middle of the enormous frontage, the cloisters and monastery church remain and services are still held there today.

Short Stories


Just occasionally I write a short story, more often than not for a competition. Some I've found in notebooks and don't remember writing them! So I thought it would be a good idea to put them together on one page so they can be found again. I should probably go through all the notebooks I have too!

My Short Story Collection - may it grow...

The (Sad and Silly) Tale of Two Pairs of Sunglasses - Part 2

A Life Changing Day This was for a competition in which I was shortlisted.

I did this as a post but found it in a notebook more as a story. Learning Fig Drying and Fig Roll Making From the Local Ladies

Also not really a short story but a competition entry entitled My Perfect Day in the Cotswolds for which I was a runner-up.
