Knitting Hearts

Want to get involved? Can you Knit? Can you Crochet? Or Sew?
Carol Sapsed has very kindly shared a link from her Granddaughter Hettie, which is superb (see below). In brief you knit/make two hearts the same, for couples who are to be separated because one is going into residential care. They each keep one of the hearts.

Online book group

 Are you a book worm, a book lover, or just want some ideas for what people are enjoying reading in these strange times?  If so, I’m setting up an online virtual book club. We’ll use Zoom which is a very easy free bit of software to download.  

 I’m thinking of a weekly meeting for the duration, with the idea that we have a “theme“ for each week rather than a single book.  Themes might be “a book that made me laugh”;  “a book I learned from”; “a book I couldn’t finish”, and so on.  Everyone would contribute a few minutes on the topic. 

 I’m open to ideas as to exactly how it might run!  Please let me know if you are interested and I’ll set up a Zoom meeting for next week.
