you don't get much knitting done. But here's what I did just to prove I took your lining advice.

I believe I'm in very good company (scroll down to 25 July) ......
Angela loved it tho' she said it was sooo pretty she didn't want to unwrap it -

Next year I'll just give her the box and save all the hassle of knitting something to go in it :0)
Life is not yet normal but getting there. For all the emails, cards and good wishes - Thank you. They meant a lot.
"What can you say to someone who has always been one of the most essential parts of your world?
Someone who took you by the hand when you were little and helped to show the way?
What do you say to someone who stood by to help you grow, who nurtured you and cared for you?
Providing strength and support so you could become the person you are today?
What can you say to let him know that he's the best there is?
And that you hope you have inherited some of his wit, wisdom and strength?
What words would you say if you ever got the chance?
Maybe you’d just say "I love you dad - I love you grandpa"
And know he understands"
