What does your ideal day look like?

Roslyn Hill

I am thinking of two days with my husband Phil beside me. Two days with lots of similarities. The one was with my two grandchildren in Australia enjoying a day wandering around Sydney , beginning with a ferry trip under the Harbour Bridge and then being directed around the city streets and enjoying time in a city park. Such fun was had exploring inside a huge tunnel light installation. Difficult to describe, but quite an experiential adventure! Then eagerly lead to the kids favourite yummy sushi bar. A similar day in the UK with my other two grandchildren wandering the … Continue reading What does your ideal day look like?

Roslyn Hill

I am posting an answer to this question as part of the Bloganuary Challenge. I will posting every day in January. Maybe you can let me know your answer too ! For me it was when I had my first Easy Crochet exhibition at the Yarndale Wool Fair in Skipton last September. I was well out of my comfort zone, surrounded by traditional crochet organisers. I was imagining that it was difficult for some idealists to embrace my controversial ideas. Who was I to announce that this was THE new way to learn how to crochet? At least this is … Continue reading When did you last leave your comfort zone?Yarndale
