The new Doctor Who

Opinion in our house is divided over Matt Smith as the new Doctor Who. I liked him a lot and there is another who sits at t'other end of sofa, who is still undecided. It's easy for me to like the new Dr Who as it isn't a show I care about deeply, it's just one I enjoy.

But if we were talking about a new Elsie Tanner, well, now that would be different.

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.
