More of the same, but at Baysgarth Museum this time. They have a country crafts section, but I didn't do anything with that, and simply taught two sessions of corn dolly making to another twenty children in a somewhat wider age range; yesterday's were 6 to 11, today's were 3 to 14 including a couple of very, very neat plaiters. Yesterday I was quite impressed that one family had come all the way from Doncaster. Today we had a family from Colwyn Bay, although I suspect they hadn't come all the way to Lincolnshire for me to teach them corn craft.
Now I return to holiday mode.
Irritatingly I have back ache. This is not something I often suffer from, but it grabbed me quite suddenly just as I was walking quite slowly across a carpark. I am using one of those hot pads which you stick to your clothes and which are supposed to stay hot for twelve hours. So far so good except for one mini side effect: they add weight to the clothes they are stuck to and my knickers fell down in Tesco's carpark. Fortunately I felt them going and was able to catch them with my knees so that they were still hidden by my skirt. Pulling them up unobtrusively wasn't the most elegant, but I achieved it.

The mind boggles! Hope your back is better soon.
