Piccadilly Circus, London, March 2020
And I wasn’t the only one
peering at this largely windowless phonebox
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Hey Debbie, great post. I couldn’t do it on the rain because in Georgia we have been having a lot of rain lately. https://queennandini.wordpress.com/2020/03/07/six-word-plays-operas-part-2/

Love the red telephone boxes! Hope they’re restored. Yesterday it began to look more like spring here in Madison. Blooming Snowdrops! https://fakeflamenco.com/2020/03/07/do-snowdrops-mean-spring-is-here/

Interesting to see the interior up close, Debbie. And I love it when they’re restored and re-used!

A sign of the times, but it would be nice if they could make up their mind to either restore it or remove it. Here’s my contribution: https://anotherday2paradise.wordpress.com/2020/03/07/six-word-saturday-ms-anhinga-sings-her-heart-out/

It’s one of the main restorers of the red boxes. Could have been stables – there are certainly pictures of many old boxes in a field waiting for his attention

I remember them well, although in Bethnal Green that were continuously out of action, being broken into for the money on nuerous occasions.

That’s a bit sad. Best when they’re stuffed with books as a community book exchange.
