Knitting for charity

 

Hope and Faith Socks

 

 

 

So during the month of November I am taking part in a knitting challenge for Bone Cancer Research Trust.  

Having been through Cancer myself if I can combine my passion for knitting and helping a Cancer charity I will.

The Research Trust are doing invaluable work with not only research but support for people who have been diagnosed with Bone Cancer.

I first found out about the knitting challenge through a Facebook group which currently has over 5000 members, with people pledging to knit for 30 minutes a day doing all sorts of things.  Some having never knitted and others are very experienced.

For me personally I have set up a Just Giving Page for my fund raising and have designed a beautiful sock pattern that I will be working on during the month when I shall see how many of the socks I can make.

The pattern will be for sale in the next couple of weeks and after November I will continue to contribute 50% of the sale of the pattern to the charity.

So Please no matter how small, if you can contribute to my challenge I would really appreciate it.

 

 

 

 

 

Camping Van life

It's been a while since I last went out away in my van.

So when my Son invited me on a trip to Cornwall, even though it was the worst reported traffic on the M5 (which I can vouch for), it took me 5.5 hrs to do 186 miles instead of 2.5 hrs. It was so worth it!

We stayed at. by far the best campsite I have stayed at. It is so quiet, well layed out, clean and adult only.

My Son didn't arrive till 9pm so set up was in the dark, but he's used to it having been away many times.

It rained during the night so I thought let's see what nice pictures I can get. They came out so well.

Stunning gardens

The grounds are huge and if I get the chance will definitely be back to explore more.

But the small are I did walk was so peaceful and beautiful.

There were loads of trees of so many varieties, this one was huge.
