RE: [lace] Retirement
Hi Nolene This has brought me out of lurkdom, it's definitely for me. I'm hoping to retire at Easter next year and over the last few weeks I've started planning in my mind all the things I want to do, especially lace, as I'm not getting time to do any at the moment due to family circumstances. But I'm just getting hints from my daughter that I shall be expected to do lots of grandson sitting when I retire. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to dream on... Alison in Colchester, Essex, UK where it's a beautiful, breezy day at the moment, but we're promised rain later Retirement. They all promised me when retirement was due, I'd be doing so much with my lace. I'd have oodles of time To plan and create, And have projects all over the place. But then the day came, And I planned to sit down With all of that thread that I'd bought. With pins and my pillows And bobbins galore And great piles of books just to sort. But where does the time go? I really can't say< The days seem to disappear fast. As the days now fly by I seem to do LESS Just where did I find time in the past!

RE: [lace] Retirement
Hi Alison, Do not forget that it is your life too when you retire. It is great to see and look after your grandson but do make sure you have time for yourself as well. I was lucky to have about 3 years of retirement before I started helping with my granddaughter. I love her very much and enjoy having her but it is tiring. I always told my daughter I would help but was not always available to help as I have a life of my own. So make sure you give yourself time for your crafts as well as having time for grandson.

RE: [lace] Retirement
Thank you for those wise words, Corinne, last year I and my other half went on a pre-retirement course where we were told that we needed to make time for ourselves. I thought I had it all sorted out, but life has been turned upside down in the last few weeks and putting the theory into practice is going to be more difficult than I thought. Still by the time I retire my grandson will be nearly 3 so I might be able to teach him to make lace.

[lace] Ypres Bobbin that Survived World War
Dear Arachne members To honor Veterans on this historic 100th Anniversary marking the end of World War I, you may see a photograph of a lace bobbin from my collection that was found amongst the ruins of Ypres in 1915. It has quite a 'polish' from long use and is 9cm in length. It can be seen on my website, 2/3 down the page. http://jeanmar yeke.co.uk/About_Lace.html Best wishes for peace everywhere Jean Mary Eke in a very wet and thundery Brighton,UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
