Helen B

I live in Bedfordshire with my hubby of nearly 53 years. I love knitting and crochet and always have several projects on the go. We have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren and sadly I haven’t been able to pass on my knitting and sewing skills to any of them so far, although they are all showing creative tendencies in one way or another. My eldest grandson made the model of me and hubby which I had as my profile picture for some time. I thought it might be time for a change, so then showed a picture done by my 7 year old granddaughter. They all make us terribly proud. Latest picture of me and hubby was taken on our 50th Anniversary in 2020, a lovely family day despite being during a partial lockdown. 🥲
