Episode 43 - A visit from our daughter, grand-daughter and great-grand-daughter - Mum's 1958 diary

13th May 2022 - Welcome, I'm Pene and I live in the S.E. of England with my husband Pete and four chickens. After my retirement, working for the NHS as a counsellor, I decided to do Penelope’s Chinwag. It’s a chatty vlog about crafting, a fascinating fact about the natural world, maybe a chat with Mum or Pete and a story or poem. In episode 12 I introduced Transactional Analysis, a model of counselling that is practical and helpful. I finish with a short film usually taken when I’m out walking or from our garden. This week I tell you about Tilly's clothes, Schooling fish being copied by Nissan, Mum finishes her diary at April 1958 and we have a visit from our daughter, grand-daughter and great-grand-daughter and some time with our hens. #knitting#nature#family 00:00-03:49 Introductions 03:49-07:37 Tilly the Hare's progress 07:37-10:43 Mary Berry in 1979 10:43-12:20 What's next? 12:20-13:34 Schooling Fish and Nissan 13:34-20:00 Mum remembering April 1958 20:00-21:22 Che Sera Sera 21:22-30:36 Delia's lemon curd 30:36-31:55 A visit from family 31:55-36:34.
