I’m very noise sensitive. When we lived in Wells we had a few days when the sky was full of all sorts, then everything disappeared; the Falklands had started!

Because I worked most evenings, now I’m retired, I have to have something in my hands, so I knit or crochet. I need better light for patchwork or embroidery. Totally agree about the calming effect.

I’ve had a quick look at her books, but will look further! Thanks.
I’m intrigued by the leggings- not for adults, surely? If so, that’s a mammoth task- socks are bad enough!

Oh.. which book? I don’t know her, so would like to know more!

So do I prefer paper, but I read a lot and I’m not near a library, so I use my iPad as well.

I’m a book hoarder, so downloading books is great for me as I can’t keep them!

Not a fan of big cities, tbh- or trains atm. However, Lancaster is a different proposition altogether!😁

That’s okay… we are back home in Glos. now, but lived in beautiful Somerset (❤️) for a number of years. Now one boy in Lancs., one boy in Leeds! ☹️

My pink one ( taken from my mum’s garden for sentiment ) has hit the deck! I didn’t support it properly.😔

I’m sure you’ll be fine. Mine’s a bit curly and grey, so I take the easy way out and have it cut off! My mum used to grumble about my shorn locks!

I note that your’e a ceramicist - I did some pottery 50+years ago, but not on a wheel. I’d forgotten how great clay is! Thanks for your encouragement!

We had a lesson on the wheel and then decorated and glazed them, all in a couple of hours. It was good fun!

Sometimes I answer nuisance calls in French- then they panic when they think they’ve called France! 😂 Someday, someone will call my bluff!

I’ve got two good excuses to reduce my commitments; health and being a wrinkly! 😁
