“Xin nian hao” and "Gung hei fat choi" to everyone! While we excelled on one front today, we failed pretty miserably on another........ We're busy knitting and crocheting. Maggie making hats, Perveen giving her recent gift of circular needles a trial run, Sheila making a bunny blankie, May a jumper, Liz returning to a spring … Continue reading Virtual Friday 47

Virtual Friday 46
Ten of us met today, some vaccinated, some waiting to be invited. Vaccinations are progressing really well with the North West at or near the top of the league. The UK total is 10 million so far - not bad! Our group embraces all things sheepy so I had to draw attention to a film … Continue reading Virtual Friday 46
Virtual Friday 45
We're at the end of January, still locked down and likely to stay that way for a number of weeks yet. Boris Johnson's statement on Wednesday was uncharacteristically lacking his usual (generally misplaced) optimism. Good in one sense - at least he's being realistic - but the reality is getting harder to live with. However … Continue reading Virtual Friday 45
Virtual Friday 44
It serves me right for boasting about our numbers hitting double figures last week because today there were just six of us. They say that good things come in small packages and that the size of something does not always indicate its true value - I'll park that thought here and leave it with you....... … Continue reading Virtual Friday 44
Virtual Friday 43
Despite being in lockdown and not going anywhere I still find that time is in short supply and almost forgot to write about the meeting we had on the 15th of Jan. Our numbers were in double figures! Well, only just - 10 of us turned up 🙂 On the knitting and crochet front, jumpers … Continue reading Virtual Friday 43
Virtual Friday 41
Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Pexels.com We hadn't intended meeting until the 8th of January but at the last minute I sent out emails to see if there was anyone wanting a chat today. Jumping from tier 3 into tier 4 on the 31st of December put paid to any thoughts of meeting people to … Continue reading Virtual Friday 41
Virtual Friday 40
We had our last virtual meeting of 2020 on the 18th of December. We donned festive hats, munched a mince pie or two and racked our brains to answer Agnes's fiendish quiz questions. The quiz champions this time were Sheila, Sarah and Perveen. We've been busy knitting scarves, blankets and jumpers. But our talented ladies … Continue reading Virtual Friday 40
Virtual Fridays 38 and 39
Last time I did a three meetings in one report; this time it's two meetings in one. Next time I hope to have caught up with myself and might be back to weekly posts. VF 38 was on 4th December A few hiccups today because I had to leave the meeting suddenly and, although it … Continue reading Virtual Fridays 38 and 39
Virtual Fridays 35 – 37
You know the saying 'You wait ages for a bus and then three come at once'? Well, a similar thing has happened here. I haven't been able to post weekly reports recently and so here are three all at once. VF 35 was on 13th November. We were knitting cowls, a blanket for SANDS, a … Continue reading Virtual Fridays 35 – 37
Virtual Friday 34
As of yesterday, 5th November, England is in a new lockdown. Some call it Lockdown 2, others Lockdown Lite. It's not as severe as the first lockdown in March but more severe than Tier 3 restrictions and the whole country is affected. Schools etc remain open which means that informal childcare arrangements can continue. Essential … Continue reading Virtual Friday 34
