An old friend

I found this Womble  in a cupboard that was inaccessible until we moved stuff in my sewing room. I made him for B for Christmas 1974. I think that he was supposed to be Uncle Bulgaria. He looks a bit grubby, but I’ve no idea what he’s stuffed with and if he would wash !!! 

A horrible wet day. We went to U3A and heard a talk about an abandoned railway across the Pennines from Hadfield to Sheffield. It was illustrated by the speaker’s own pictures. This is an area that I don’t know at all, but recognise some of the tales of railway closures in other parts of the country. It was interesting, but a touch too long. The seats are not that comfortable and I had a numb bum by the time he had finished.

We took the car rather than walk because of the rain, so took advantage of it and called in past the Coop, the former vege shop and the butchers on the way home. 

An afternoon of sewing and washing. The washing wasn’t such a good move, getting it dry is a problem.
