 **__ Granddad __** Granddad stands at the kitchen stove and is experimenting with masses of exotic recipes. As he silently stirs the food he watches and listens intently to the sport channel and is thinking deeply about visiting Granny to tell her what the score is. As he puts his dinner in his ancient oven he peers out into his lonely backyard, thinking about how he could use different types of fertiliser to make his tomatoes grow better. As he hobbles into the empty living room you can hear the sound of the clock ticking gently and the tap-tap of his walking stick combined with the slight thud of his bad leg that was affected from polio many years ago. Granddad thinks about when the Grandkids come over and play in the spacious orange tree, he wonders when they will muck around on the piano and if he will be able to look after their pets again when they go away. His eyes move slowly around the room and gradually stop on the miniature mirror. A reflection shows a weather beaten face that has deep wrinkles etched into his forehead and when he smiles they go even deeper! Bright blue eyes are wide and sparkling in the bright light, he has wispy white hair that sits all around his head except for a slight bald patch right in the middle of his head. Later that night he listens to the old and slightly rusty kettle boil. Eventually he pulls himself up and gets himself a cup of strong tea and a tim-tam from the biscuit tin. After this he walks over to the old table and sits himself on his favourite chair. To finish off his night he shuffles through the Times and finally he finds the one he wants so he switches off and reads steadily until an hour later Granddad suddenly realises that it is far too late for him and he hobbles gently off to bed and when he has fallen soundly asleep the house with many memories is quiet once again.

__The Enchanted Forest__
// The long narrow path is covered in crisp auburn leaves, // // Overgrown green plants wrap themselves tightly around the rough trunks of the tall slim trees, // // Soft olive coloured moss covers the gentle hills for children to climb on, // // The towering tree tops cave in slightly at the end to give the unkempt path a fairytale look, // // Bright light comes through the miniature gaps in the endless trees shining steadily on to everything it can reach. // // Helpless insects run quickly and quietly around the adventurous forest trying to find friends and food, // // The dusty dirt track lies there lonely and forgotten in the hazy light, // // The soiled pond ruining the dazzling effect of the enchanted forest, // // Sharp twigs stick out at odd angels, // // While small birds squawk suddenly into the dead silence, // // Quiet strangers walk through the deserted path snapping twigs under their giant hiking boots. // // The sharp winds irritates and pushes the weedy plants, // // An icy breeze hangs constantly in the fresh country air, // // You can smell the sweet flowers hidden behind the massive trees, // // You can hear the mooing of a distant cow, // // You can see a beautiful ancient path. //

Kindness sits with her chin resting in her hands and a smile spreads slowly across her motherly face as she sketches the playground of children squealing with delight as they go down the long slide, and come out the bottom with the look of shock and exhilaration on their face. That look always makes Kindness laugh... Kindness has long, curly strawberry blonde hair that flows like a river. She wears it down and it sways gently as she walks. Her heart shaped face looks as if it has been carved by an angel, with her big blue eyes that sparkle when she smiles. Long curly eyelashes outline her eyes and makes her look like she’s permanently wearing mascara. Kindness’ skin is as clear as the sky and her voice is as soft and sweet as candyfloss. When Kindness laughs it makes a soothing tinkling sound that makes everyone happy. She is not tall, she is small and thin, however this does not bother her and she wears no high heels. She does wear long floaty smocks and comfy leggings with a pair of flats. Kindness always has a sweet perfume smell but it’s not overwhelming like some perfume smells. When Kindness walks she is as graceful as a butterfly and she is always smiling and optimistic. Kindness is always there to help. Kindness is the youngest daughter of Hope and Optimistic and the sister of Honesty and Wisdom. Her family is always there to help. Kindness’ closest friend is her husband Courage, they believe that you should aim to be whatever you want and do whatever you want in life. Kindness has two children called Love and Joy. Kindness is a part time teacher and part counsellor she loves what she does and would never do another job if someone offered her one million dollars. She lives in an old villa with plenty of space. Kindness, along with her daughter Love keeps the garden beautiful with flowers and plants everywhere. Kindness’ family is happy and contented with their life and they wouldn’t have it any other way. Kindness was always the optimistic child when she was young and was popular with all the girls; however she did not take advantage of this position, as she never left anyone out and always included everyone. Her enemies are Depression, Hatred and Sorrow. Her family was always believed in speaking your opinion and doing the right thing. Kindness lived in harmony knowing that she had a loving family and grew up knowing that she was the centre of attention with everyone. Kindness will help you whenever you need it, just let her know and she will be there right away. She will comfort you and look after you right till the very end. Whether you are sad or depressed or just need someone to talk to, Kindness will be there... all you have to do is ask. ====I think that it was a good piece of writing with good effort put into it. I liked the way I descirbed Kindness and then in the end put her into our everyday life. However I need to watch that all my sentences make complete sense and that I don't leave setences unfinished==== .
