I have about 1.5 rows of border to do on mine plus a handful of peskies. Provided I can find my yarn needle I should have it in the post this afternoon

What is the final posting date for extras? I think I'm being blind as I can't see it. Thanks BrewCake

I can’t wait to see the pictures of the children with their blankets! Grin

Anyone watching the interview with Emily Watson on Breakfast TV? It's illuminating. Chernobyl - the drama series starts Tuesday at 9pm and if anyone should have any doubts as to the ongoing long-term effects this will dispel them.

Thank you so much lovely TQ. Going to find that. X
