ReplyDeleteI was also going to write a post on this. I think I was made for the same era too. I just learnt to crochet!
Ah but do you paint tables? Do you have a thorough knowledge of the modern languages?

Not to mention a love of bonnets.
I did varnish a coffee table once. I can say 'baguette'. But I do walk a lot! I'll add that to the list.
ReplyDeleteOooh crochey! Kindred spirits, all!
