Darn thumb

Lovely loooong Sunday breakfast with Suzanne, Greg and Lynne - just the way they're meant to be.

Spent the afternoon with my gran. Noticed on her gloves she has DARNED the thumb! I found it difficult to believe that people still do that. The sad reality is when I have something and it gets a hole in it, I think it's charity shop or bin bound. How awful to admit that.

The gloves she tells me were a hand knitted gift from a woman after the war. She found something which had belonged to the woman and returned it to her. As a thank you the lady knitted her these Fair Isle gloves.

She still has them, still repairs then and still wears them 60 years later. How great is that.
