for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is hinterland and the limit 87 words.
‘Where are you going?’ asked my friend Rosey.
‘On holiday’.
‘Yea, but where?’
‘To the hinterland’, I articulated pointing into the distance.
‘Wow, really?’
‘Err, yes!’
‘Are you flying?’
‘No’, I laughed
‘Ferry?’
‘Of course not’!
‘What language do they speak?’
‘Why, English pet’, I said in a dodgy northern accent!
‘What’s their food like?’
‘Very funny!’ I said. ‘I’d love to chat but I need to finish packing’.
It was when she reminded me to take my passport I realised she hadn’t been joking at all!
There are masses more stories about My Friend Rosey right here!
Haha, good for our dear friend, Rosey. Great take on the prompt, Keith. 😀
She does come in handy now and again! Thanks Shweta.
Oh yes. Do keep us updated on her adventures 🙂
Heeheehee! Maybe next time take her on the exotic adventure, let her find out the joys of the hinterland for herself.
Don’t give her ideas Mimi!
Dear Keith,
It’s always fun to see Rosey. These days you need your passport to go anywhere. 😉 Never leave home without it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Mine is here: https://rochellewisoff.com/2020/07/18/weekend-writing-prompt-hinterland/
She’s never far away Rochelle! Right now my passport’s feeling a little neglected having not been stamped abroad this year!
Well
Done with the humor splash again 😉
We all need a dose now and again!
Every day if possible
Enjoy your trip.
Can’t wait to go camping again!
😉👍
I think, Keith, that Rosey believes a thesaurus can be found in Jurassic Park.
And I love your Geordie accent!
I’ll try that out on her! I originally wrote ‘Why, Geordie pet’ but it occurred to me that readers of a foreign persuasion might take that to be an actual language!
Whereas it is, to most of the civilised world, utterly unintelligible gibberish!
Why aye man!
Haha… Nice one. In India we need an ID to cross states nowadays. Maybe Rosie meant it in that context.
Really, I didn’t know that. Maybe she did, but I suspect she thinks it a country overseas!
Haha
Ha ha, the doze of humour again. Great take Keith!
I’m pleased you liked it! Thank you.
love it.
I’m pleased! Thanks Di.
you’re welcome
A well played prompt response once again, Keith. A passport to hinterland. Enjoyed it.
Nothing would surprise me these days! Cheers Bill.
Rosey IS technically correct. You go far enough into the Hinderland and you’ll have people speaking Hinderglish.
You could be right Na’ama – if you go to Gibber, people talk Gibberish!
Exactly! 🙂
Is Hinterland next to Wonderland?
Love when Rosey stops by.
Quite possibly Dale! Rosey would stop by more often if I’d let her!
I don’t doubt she would!
