And that's exactly how I felt about the film last night. Same-old, same-old. At various points I was so bored with the film, I closed my eyes and listened to the music score instead.

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...
