This jersey has been worn practically everyday in every winter for about 10 years, It's a working jersey so it's been in mud, caught up in trees, slept in - and it has been mended so many times I have practically remade it. But it's such a great jersey so darning it is almost a pleasure. I found a ball of wool in an op shop years ago that is similar enough to do the job - I am a fanatical op shopper so look out for photos of my favourite finds from time to time. And I've just mended my boots with dental floss - it withstands any punishment you give it.
Basically this blog is to keep whanau and friends up to date (well, you know, within 6 months) with where we are and what we are doing.
