I made a ‘lovely’ hot drink for TPR. The ingredients comprised hot water, coffee granules, raw sugar, a twist of mustard embroidery silk, and two balls of rusty brown wool.

Later, I thought that I had found the lost green jumper that I had knitted for TPR in the mid-1980s: a former external work colleague was wearing this treasured garment at a meeting! The wearer willingly handed over the jumper for me to pass on to its rightful owner. However, when we saw the Marks and Spencer label stitched into its seam, we realised that this was a woolly case of mistaken identity.
