Zooming through the weekend

Saturday morning started with a zoom meeting with the

No Rules Textile Society. Here’s the view from my desk.

Someone’s keeping an eye on me.

I didn’t have a lot to offer with having had a busy birthday

and visiting my sister in Oxford for a week.

We chatted about what we’d been doing over the month and

members showed us what they’d been working on. Well those

who had done anything did.

We’ve got a new prompt for September. We are going to

look at and use one piece of fabric and create ten new designs

from it.

We met up with friends at 2pm for a late lunch at one of our

favourite pubs in Todmorden, The Staff of Life. It’s an old

traditional hostelry with some of the best food for miles and

we’ve been going there for years.

I’m assured by the men folk that they sell some of the best ales

around, many from local breweries.

I can assure folk that they have gorgeous food. My choice this

time was a Cauliflower & Potato Curry with naan bread and rice.

Followed by Pannacotta with waffle and raspberry compote.

The fish & chips are some of the best around. In fact the whole

menu is worth a try.

The evnig was spent watching 50 years of Michael Parkinson

and nodding off on the sofa.

SUNDAY

In 1989 I was given the honour of being asked to be godmother

to my best friend’s daughter Emma

Fast forward to 2021 and here we are again this time at the

Christening of her own daughter Alyssa.

Where have the years gone.

It was lovely to be with friends that are like family.

Now spot the difference.

The wandering welder has got his beer goggles on and ended

up in a different jacket to the one he had on when he went out.

It’s been a lovely weekend.
