Rickmansworth, South East

Born in Canada, 30 years later I found myself living in the UK with a young family, then in Texas, back to the UK, and in the Middle East. My working life was as a dietitian, but in my leisure time, I enjoyed arts and crafts. A chance encounter led to designing hand hooked rugs

Hand Hooked Rug Making: We Are Not Doormats

Everyone knows someone who made rag rugs – perhaps you did too! From humble beginnings, rag rugging has evolved from a craft to art, with groups based worldwide. Join me for a discussion of the history of rag rugging, touch and feel rugs I have created, plus have a go at hooking on a frame!

Trip to California, 1956

Now 99, my aunt wrote about a road trip she and a friend made from Canada to California by car in 1956. Diary entries and photographs from her travels weave a fascinating story, especially after they hit a snowstorm in Oregon and miss their flight home. A true story which could have ended in 1956.
