I’m a northerner transplanted to London, where I appreciate the southern climate, but miss the Seabrooks crisps (or chips, if you are an American visitor to my site). I retired in my twenties due to an illness (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & fibromyalgia). I’m trying to cultivate the required amount of old lady pastimes to go with the retirement. I haven’t managed to do any real crime solving yet, I have knitted my way through a lot of Miss Marple & Poirot episodes and now have sunk to the depths of Midsummer Murders, which just isn’t the same. I knit and make clothes around the time I spend lying around feeling ill, with my constant feline companions Tilly and Doug.
From 2010 to 2020 I was part of the Shoreditch Sisters WI and occasionally appeared in public with a sewing machine trying to force people into making their own exciting things or waving banners at Million Women Rise or other feminist marches, before sloping off to a cafe for a cup of tea and a long rest. I taught free beginners knitting once a month in Shoreditch.
I’m also really active on Pinterest. Here is my Pinterest Profile:

This blog is where I’m sharing my knitting pattern collection and scans of vintage magazines.
