Island, it would be very interesting to see what you could make with old plastic bags or other stuff. Both Recycling and Upcycling :-D

Yes, I have never cancelled any of my subs. I just never had the chance to get on there. I need to set up a Microsoft Office etc., for my records. Not got it on this laptop yet

I hadn't done much for a good while. But I have started back. What I'm doing at the moment is following DNA matches down from Common Ancestors and linking them to my tree. It's mostly been Kent

That's good Fly. I never got to grips with crocheting. Everything I tried used to curl into a sort of pouch :-D :-D
