Retired Headteacher. Love my family, two cats and tortoises. 🐈⬛🐈⬛ 🐢🐢. Rather like a giraffe too, sadly can’t keep one of those at home! 😉🦒Rediscovering tapestry, crafts and the enjoyment of putting my feet up to read. Still love music.

Still not quite used to being retired - I keep thinking that I must get my school stuff ready and sort out the Assembly for tomorrow. 🤦♀️

Stunning.
This embroidery conference continues to rock my world. The highlight of my day was seeing this embroidered version of the Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii. My life will never be the same. This is??? EMBROIDERY?? It was made by the workshop of Hermandad de Labradores (also known as "Paso Azul")
