We wandered along the 1000 years old Targului Street in #Sibiu and snapped both eerie and cheerful #photos. I thought of how life must have been for the Saxons who built the first wooden houses here, during medieval times.

Learned today that I've been turned down for a bursary to fund a mentored writing course which could have been life-changing.
I suppose it's best seen as just another rejection slip.

More to come, I'm sure.
