This week's BBC Upload with Adam Crowther features Steve C Walters' poem First Day at School, a reflective look at one of family life's biggest milestones, alongside Carol Sheppard's three-part comedy play Enough To Make You Cry, where fierce allotment rivalries, giant vegetables and crossed wires lead to escalating misunderstandings in the Forest of Dean. There's also a short story from Nailsworth writer Peter T Stone, a live poetry performance from Salisbury's People in the Park festival by Edwin Colwell Hopper, and an extract from Gabrielle Finnegan's lyrical play Ebb & Flow, exploring love, home and the realities of life after the happy ending. Plus, a modern ghost story from Yate storyteller Simon Entwistle, proving that local legends are still being created today. Upload your creativity and get on air - bbc.co.uk/upload
