Last week, hubby and I went to Kingston Lacey which is is Dorset. It is a fabulous National Trust property with a huge house to peruse and gardens to explore. While we were following the trial of the Halloween witches though the woods I saw a notice that explained why some of the trees had been marked with an orange spot. This was to identify those that were to be felled in order to let the rest flourish.
For some reason I thought of you 100WCGU writers! I have given you a picture but do let your imaginations wander about the significance or otherwise of an ORANGE SPOT or what it may represent!
As usual it is just 100 words. Do make sure you pop a link back here for others to follow and keep it suitable for a PG certificate.I have had a couple of schools asking if they can put the link on their class blogs that do 100WC to try to encourage parents to engage with their children so young eyes may be prying!
If you can’t see the woods for threes (sorry!) please read ‘What is 100WCGU?’. It may help but if you are still ‘felled’ (!) do leave a comment below.
The link will remain open until 12th November

You may notice I’m “liking many of your prompts in reverse order…
I am a member of a Senior Center’s writing class and looking for prompts.
I have subscribed to your post for a long time, submitted a few times…
Thank you for the wonderful prompts. I’m enjoying re-reading them and
seeing which ones trip my fancy the most…this is one of them.

It’s wonderful to have your support. I’m glad you are finding some prompt to write to too!
