Party time

This Bank Holiday Weekend I'll be in my best bib and tucker for a very special 80th birthday party (not mine). It's a sit down 3 course meal, with a band in a posh hotel, in the posh part of Yorkshire and I'm on the top table, yikes. It's such a special event that I'm even having a manicure for the do, and I never have a manicure.

I have received etiquette instructions from one of my fab sisters-in-law who advises by txt msg: remember 2 use yr nife n fork + don't burp @ the table.

I can only do me best.

Don't waste that manicure - remember to stick out your little finger at 90 degrees when lifting your coffee cup.

I don't know, me dad always said that burping was a compliment to the cook. :) I wouldn't advise too much wine though, or you'll be doing what the first two commenters suggested not to do.

Have not heard anything on the drums about any Nora related faux-pas.
I hope you had a really great time and if you have any photos to share????

Clippy Mat Making at Beamish

Image
Researching for my novel Pearl of Pit Lane I spent the day at Beamish Museum on a clippy mat workshop. And if you're wondering what a clippy mat is, it's also known as a proggy mat or a rag rug. The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
