I thought you would like to know that I have just spent half-an-hour ironing 16 handkerchiefs and 8 tea towels - all mine of course. Washed this morning, dried indoors as it rained all morning. Very satisfying, I must say! Not that you would all know, of course, for you do not indulge yourselves in these little pleasures of life. Now off to the greenhouse for an hour or so then back to making Christmas cards!
If you had asked me 19 years ago when I retired that I would be doing when I was 84 I very much doubt I would have written the above sentences!
