It got dark quite early today while we were Skyping one another so the nights are certainly beginning to draw in early. <br /><br />So glad you got to learn a new skill and Col's brother is more than willing to help you learn. <br /><br />Sounds like a great WI meeting. I still wish there was something like it here. Sigh. Mum tells me stories of how my nana was training to be a milliner but gave it up when she got married (as it was in those days). I remember Nana to be such a talented lady. I think I get my love of crafts from her.
