CCC 93
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.
For those who wish to know, the photo shows one of Great Yarmouth’s famous rows (narrow lanes or alleys that run east-west throughout the old town.

Those Rows sure are narrow, aren’t they? These days not many people have doors that open onto them. Mostly it’s shops from the adjoining roads. But doesn’t do to be catastrophic!

We have something a little bit similar in Boston, public alleys. And you will sometimes find a thoroughfare called “Back Street” in some places, which is invariably narrow service road behind a major commercial street. But all those typically are wide enough for carts and even cars. Not as narrow as these you show in your photograph.

Yarmouth had special carts designed to negotiate the Rows, with the wheels set under the barrow’s plarform. Troll Carts.. hence the name of the pub where EJ ad I enjoyed a cider and you had a proper English beer

The Rows are named after various businesses sited there. Amazingly, most of them are named for pubs!

Well, the pubs were probably where everyone (of one X, at least) was in a good bit of the time … and the alleys were one could be found if one imbibed a bit over much … so … 😉

It is said Great Yarmouth had 365 pubs (it’s only a small town) but also 365 churches/chapels etc

From the pub to the church to confess one’s sins and back to the pub to drown one’s sorrows over the inevitability of sin? 😉
