Hi and welcome to this week's Eight sentences. Today I am continuing with eight from my new release, 'Fevered Kisses' an anthology of lust. This week I am continuing with the second story 'Too Darn Hot' carrying on from where we left off last time:
MY EIGHT:
Miranda’s home
was around 25 minutes away and Jamie was obviously impressed as they drove up
the sweeping private road to park on the gravel in front.
“Wow!” was all
he could say.
Elderberry
cottage stood in the most beautiful grounds. The gardens were ornate and heavy
with carefully nurtured shrubs, many in flower. The house was a whitewashed
Tudor home with stark black paintwork and a thatched roof, one wall was
completely covered in wisteria flowers; it was a delight to behold. Excitedly
Jamie climbed out of the car and was thrilled to see, at the side of the house,
a tennis court slightly obscured from view by a wall of carefully pruned
conifers.
Miranda led him
through to the kitchen; from here the pool could clearly be seen, it was a rich
blue oasis which reflected the sun’s rays along its gentle ripples.

ReplyDeleteGreat description of what looks like an interesting place. I'd remove the word "around" and just say 25 miles away. You've done an outstanding job describing a delightful place, so you don't have to say it. Beautiful writing with outstanding word choices. Well done.
