Having a bit of a moment


Today I had my absolute day / year / life made.

Met a woman for the first time, we got talking about Corrie and she tells me all about this wonderful book about Corrie's Deirdre that she'd read.

Not only did she read it she took it into her social club for the club's library - and there's still a queue of people waiting to read it.

When I told her I'd written it, well, both of us had a bit of a moment. 

Hugs and tears were involved.

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...
