Tempory interruption

There is no easy way to say this, so I will go right ahead and say it
My Nana died, like most nana's she holds a very special place in my heart, and I think maybe more so as my mum died a long long time ago - and so she is a link to some one I have not had around for a long time.
Now I miss them both.

I'd love to say Nana taught me to knit, but she didn't, she was a knitter and we have a few baby blankets here that she made - the cubs are cuddling them a bit right now. She learned to knit from WEA classes in the 1940's and taught my mother who taught me. WEA was/is the workers education association. A society intended to improve the lives of workers by providing ongoing education, in languages, sciences, trades and crafts. She learned to sew and embroider and decorate cakes and knit via the WEA.
I will blog again, soon, but for now the cubs and I need to get our selves in travelling mode and to Auckland by Wendesday, and home latter that week.
