Very true. I think this is something I have only learned as I've become older - and more self-confident. I now think I'm in danger of becoming Jenny Joseph's 'lady who wears purple':

:lol: Thanks for that reminder, Rose. I saw that poem once stuck up on the ward sister's wall in my previous life as a nurse and I always meant to take a copy of it, but forgot :cry: P'raps the age for Purple was already creeping on :shock:

Hi Wendy, I have the chart for the poem you mentioned. I stitched it last year along with "When I am an old cat"

Hi Lynne, Do you have a link for that poem? Or could you spare the chart? Original of course, designers work hard for their work and I do NOT believe in breaching copyright! :evil: :? :(

WW, here is at least one (of many) websites where you can read the whole poem. Those of us of a certain age can't wait until the time we don't have to be good examples anymore and can be our real, fun, selves instead (or perhaps, again?).

I'm with him. :roll:

Anyway, I'd rather search for stitching on the internet than do my work at the moment. Holiday mood hasn't quite worn off yet. :shock:
