It seems as though earlier generations of Petreans have felt the need to leave their mark behind. As we sat in the Peterhouse chapel, listening to Edward singing, we moved a hymn book and found this underneath.
Congratulations, Gill - to you all. This reminds me of our visit to Rugby School last year - one of the rooms was 'papered' with old desk lids complete with loads of carvings! They pointed out to us a few famous names.
A record of my journey towards
"An elegant sufficiency, content,
retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books,
ease and alternate labour, useful life"
Not there yet. Some way to go!
I knit, I sew, I embroider, I paint and draw and occasionally keep a journal. I do funny things with paper, paint and glue, I make books and other stuff. Not much of this is of any use (with the possible exception of the socks I knit) but I find fun in everything I do. I love colour, texture, pattern and want to do it all perfectly - preferably in the next five minutes.
When I'm not making stuff myself, I'm teaching someone else how to do it (or teaching someone else to teach someone else to do it)
