We’ve been to <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Bembridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bembridge</span></a> sailing a few times. Unfortunately UK customs make it almost impossible to go there again bc we have our dog which we imported from Yorkshire ourselves, with us now. We love the UK so much…<a href="https://toot.community/tags/Solent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Solent</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/isleofwight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>isleofwight</span></a> 😭😭<br>At the same time we love Ivy😍</p>
Sharon Gascoigne<p>It was nice to get out for a stroll this evening. Sunset wasn't great, but it was beautiful nonetheless 😊 <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bembridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bembridge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/IsleofWight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IsleofWight</span></a></p>

Sharon Gascoigne<p>It's a rainy day here on the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/IsleofWight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IsleofWight</span></a> , not that I'm complaining as we need the rain.</p><p>This photo was taken (by my husband not me) on Sunday afternoon when the weather was somewhat better.</p><p>This is slightly more off the beaten track than some of our more popular beaches at <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bembridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bembridge</span></a>.

Sharon Gascoigne<p>Last night's full moon as it rose over Bembridge Lifeboat Station.</p><p>It was lovely and calm down on the beach as we watched the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moon</span></a> emerge from the low cloud. This photo taken by my husband does it far more justice than my wobbly video that I posted last night!</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Moonrise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Moonrise</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Bembridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bembridge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/IsleofWight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IsleofWight</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>

Stories and Folklore<p>Today I have been working on our new <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/musical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musical</span></a> about <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/MollyDowner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MollyDowner</span></a>, the <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Witch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Witch</span></a> of <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Bembridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bembridge</span></a>. This project has been consuming me, my heart is heavy and I’ve been teary; this story is emotionally draining, but wonderful. </p><p>After a life of heartbreak and betrayal, someone showed her tenderness and love in her last moments, I know this because when researching I came upon these lines that were written in 1844 by E. Hartnall. "...as if she [Molly] had died in her bed and received from friendly hands the last sad offices charitable love renders to the remains of the object of its affection." — it fills my heart with sadness and hope all at once. </p><p>Below are screen captures of some of my notes and outlines (excuse the typos and grammatical mistakes). </p><p><a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmWriting</span></a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writers</span></a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/WritersCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritersCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Witchcraft</span></a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/writers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>writers</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/writingcommunity" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>writingcommunity</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>folklore</span></a></span></p>
