The group also made many items for the Refugee Camp. These included newly knitted items for small children and babies. We had been deeply touched by the knowledge that some babies had been born and there was nothing to wrap them in. This gave people like myself who are not very skilled an opportunity to knit squares and sew them together to make small baby wraps . We usually meet fortnightly on Monday morning but if you would be interested in another occasional meeting we can adjust. NOW ! Have you any unused knitting wool hidden away? Would you like to make small items for children Perhaps you would like to join us occasionally. If you knit squares it would be easy if we all knit the same size I have been doing five inch squares but realise that six inches is better. Friends are not all Good Shepherd regulars. Daisy.
Book Review. Signalman Jones by Tim Parker. “When the mine exploded I awoke in inky darkness” As a schoolgirl and a young woman I had lived in Barrow where warships of all sizes were constantly coming in for repairs. They were visible from the buses and we heard many tales about them and were accustomed to the sight of young naval officers and seamen in the town. We heard some accounts of why badly damaged vessels were there but everything was “ Hush! Hush!” . Careless talk did indeed cost lives and one wondered which of these men would survive their next voyages. I could not leave the book until I finished it. Do get it. Thank you, Tim
