We all watch the news and get more and more frightened to step outside of our front door, because of 'strangers' but a handful of complete strangers have opened their homes to us.

Then all I have to fix up is a shade/wind panel for the awning and make those chair covers, pack the van and we are off!
Its probably a measure of the people that we are, that we are devoting as much space to books and craft materials as clothing.
