    Bon voyage, DPixie!

    Welcome to you, Tight as - I hope you enjoy it here!

    Thanks for the kind thoughts about my bad hand! I've been typing all day (for work as well as letters to do with our move) and it's aching a bit now. I hope to get some knitting, crochet or sewing up (whatever hurts the least!) done tonight. Last night, I just couldn't stay awake on the sofa.

    SGT - you're moving to France, aren't you? What part will you be going to? We'll be near Parthenay in the south west (about twenty five miles south of Poitiers, where our nearest airport is).

    Chalky - I hope your back gets better soon. I did mine in recently and am very wary when I'm moving heavy things, especially now we're packing up to go!

    I haven't done much packing because I got stuck into the paperwork and that seemed to go on forever - I still have loads to do but I suppose it will all get done in time.

    Anyway, I'm off to watch Lark Rise - thankfully, we'll catch the last episode next week before we leave - I'd hate to miss it.

    Have a great evening, everyone.

    KathyXX

    HI Sylvia - I haven't knitted these items but will happily take a look at the patterns if you can tell me which ones. I love a puzzle!

    I've just got in from a pleasant evening out listening to the author Gervase Phinn - have nearly finished my warm up whisky so will not proffer any answer tonight - I wouldnt trust myself as I'm about to pour another - HIC! :beer:

    No, I'm moving to Spain, not got a date fixed yet, just need to get organised.

    Please can you update me with 2 hedgehogs for Mrs-Moneypenny choir boy fundraising.

    Thank you :T
