You judges are going to go ape over my entry for the National

Short Story Award!

                                    ****************

 

For my next trick, I'm planning a feature about the Diss Mere for 

Discover Your History Magazine. Took some photos on Saturday,

contacted the Norwich Record Office today, and found an entry

in Wikipedia about a 13c geeze who was granted permission to 

wash his wool and cloths in The Mere. 

      Theories of the time about the origin of The Diss Mere were not

unimaginative. Some thought it was the entrance to hell, 

and others that glacial movement gouged out the deep basin. 

The entire six acres, apparently, froze during the 1800's and a

party with ice - skating, fancy dress and boxing took place.

     ...  AND my grammar wizard has promised to edit a historical 

fiction I wrote recently.
