Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “where.” Start your post with the word “where” and write whatever comes to you. Bonus points if you end your post with “where” too. Enjoy!
Where do you think I am, right now?
Actually, if you are a regular reader, you might just remember me mentioning it in my Chai catch up on Monday. (Don’t cheat and find the post – I’m just about to tell you…)
I am in Birmingham for the weekend. (As in the real Birmingham, not the one named after our original Brum in 1871!)
Birmingham is my home town. It’s where I was born. And when I die, there will be a plaque, somewhere here saying “Birthplace of famous writer, Ritu Bhathal (nee Padhaal)”
What?
I can dream, can’t I?
Where was I?
Oh yes, I’m back home, spending a couple of nights with my Pops, kids in tow, before he ventures out to Finland, to join my mum, and his wife, who has been gallivanting helping to look after the grandchildren out there.
No matter where I live, I have to say, Birmingham will always be home to me.
Home
A place
Where I fit
A place where I
Feel comfortable
Always an open door
Where all is familiar
No matter what the address is
You see, my true home will always be
The place where I find my Pops and my Mum

Yes, my marital home is home too. But it’s a different kind of home and comfort. Another home filled with love.
But my childhood home was filled with so many precious memories, that if you want me to be honest about where I call my home… thats’s where…
But I Smile Anyway...
