It’s goodbye to Becky’s July Squares
Huge thanks to her for hosting
and I’m looking forward to October
Meanwhile, on this non-square six-word Saturday,
Let’s look through the oblong portholes.
Leaving Portsmouth Harbour, July 2020
Arriving (or trying to) at St Malo, July 2020
Arriving at Portsmouth harbour, July 2020
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.

Here is my sixer for the week https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2020/08/01/the-whiteface-clown-with-the-polka-dots/
The hyphen might look like a cheat but I checked and found one old dictionary which allowed it!

Hmm, slightly-dodgy 😀
Don’t think I’d have thought about it if you hadn’t mentioned it. But thank you because I’ve now read an interesting article on the history of polka dots: https://theoldtimey.com/the-fascinating-origins-of-polka-dots/

Interesting little diversion, that article. The association with pox and the like makes sense but since the guinea fowl is African I think magic is the right connotation here 🙂

Yes Got there in the end. Detoured from St Malo to Cherbourg and then drove back to St Malo. But lost a whole day between waiting and detouring.

The shot of leaving Portsmouth harbour gives a vintage feeling, lika an old postcard. Lovely.

I think it’s the hazy, splashed window that helps do that. And perhaps the indoor lighting adding a yellowed look
