18.5 km this evening to finish the month with a  . Beautiful evening with the super blue something moon but bloody cold in the wind.
Growing up in South Africa we went to the bush for primary school residential trips. The “no leaving the table until plates are clear” rule is apparently international though  I remember one guy gladly accepting bribes to finish off the slop the rest of us couldn’t face.

 for Som
I often forget Fleecy is really an Aussie.
We did remarkably few school trips, but we did go to Wales hill walking a fair bit and a couple of memorable Cadet camps in Devon and Dorset with lots of cider.
Delighted we have the inestimable Greppers on our thread now. C Block is one of my favourites and the goings on of Essex's finest are up there with a certain Cumbrian dino.

Kwala, Rosie, - it is indeed lovely here, and much as I like visiting Hubs of Civilization, I'm always pleased to get back.
Very impressed by Som's mileage.
Not sure that it matters which way you knit. I think in some cultures they do knit right-to-left rather than left-to-right. And couldn't a left-handed person learn from a right-handed person by watching the technique reflected in a mirror?

Fierce and Focused Fleecy
ITG: there don't seem to be that many fetchies round Nottingham for some reason. It sounds less glamorous than your other trips!

I was the one who had to teach my nephew to tie a tie and his shoes laces cause he was left handed.
I can knit now but don't wait for a jumper or even a scarf as you would have a long wait...think I would rather run hills than improve on my knitting
Did start making cards a few years back but that has been on the back burner for a long time.

I’m left handed for writing. However I hold a knife in my right hand to eat which I believe is the right handed way. I peel things holding a knife in my right hand but chop with my left. Was taught to knit/crochet/sew by my right-handed grandmother but only knit right-handed now (others I do left handed). So I suppose I’m actually ambidextrous.
