How old is Brucie now? <BR/>Also enjoyed the rugby on Saturday and the period towards the end when Jonny Wilkinson took over reminded me of Jack Nicholson's line from The Shining (? I think, not sure)..."Here's Jonny..........."<BR/>More of the same next Saturday I hope.<BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-14210414495991771122007-10-14T22:39:00.000+01:002007-10-14T22:39:00.000+01:00I was working out how old Stephanie Beacham must b...I was working out how old Stephanie Beacham must be - over 60 at least. I thought she looked fabulous, but she obviously found the training etc. very hard work and as you said, seemed genuinely pleased to be voted out.<BR/><BR/>National Knitting Week now officially over. I spent two long tiring days at Alexanra Palace (it's the most marvellous building) and yesterday we could see for miles, over to the Surrey Hills. Very well attended this year to the point of being really over-crowded and appallingly hot. I spent sessions each day on the Learn to Knit stand. teaching mostly school children - was amazed at the number of thirteen/fourteen year old boys who wanted to learn. The stand (actually on sofas, that's one of the reasons I volunteer, there is a great shortage of chairs!)was really a victim of its own success, at one time there were 55 youngsters all over the floor and every available sitting space, and only 6 volunteers....we ran out of knitting kits provided by various spinners by Friday night and had to beg and borrow from other stands and our own stash. Luckily one of the big spinners gave us a huge box of needles.<BR/> I've spent today recovering and gloating over my purchases (Yak wool, quiviet yarn (under-belly of musk-ox, finer and softer than cashmere and priced accordingly) some cashmere and some silk. All from small producers who mostly sell on line, only opportunity you get to actually see and handle the stuff. Hand-dyed sock yarn in gorgeous colours. Nearly bought some knitting needles that have lights built in....oh, it's a whole new world out there!<BR/><BR/>Ungleby Cowpertrew - I don't believe it - sounds like a name from 'Round the Horn' or an anagram.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
