2013 has been an interesting year with lots of highs and lows.A constant high in my life is my wonderful grandson Harry and we had the news this year that he is to be joined by a baby brother or sister in June 2014. A low was having my surgery cancelled four times and then finally having it in November. I already feel better for it and once I am back to full strength in March will get back to my old self so in this respect it is both a high and a low.
Another high for 2013 was teaching my first knitting workshops. I’ve taught sewing ones for a while which I love but didn’t feel confident enough to teach a group of people knitting. I am fine teaching one or two people one on one but a group terrified me. I was soon put in my place by one of my managers who said and I quote “with the greatest of respect Jenny that’s hogwash”. I taught my first few and they went really well thank you for those who have supported me.
To round up I have to say that regardless of the bumps that come long the road I feel incredibly lucky. I have food in the cupboard, a roof over my head and a lovely family. I have enough yarn and fabric to last my lifetime and a well trained cat who knows not to touch any of it. I am relatively sane and fit and am looking forwarding to walking, knitting and sewing more in 2014,
