Of course, we had to take Bob and Louise to Leeds Castle as it is such a beautiful place. They were just starting to put up the Christmas decorations when we arrived so that was a nice addition to our trip. It is always great fun to take new people to our favourite places. I [...]
Remember the fox bag I was going to make? I did work on it with a friend but there was a bit of wonkiness in that the handle was twisted and we had been quite befuddled in how it all worked. When I mentioned that I’d inherited an old handcrank Singer sewing machine, Louise said [...]
