I'm doing some peaceful crochet this afternoon. Another blanket using up odds and ends. It will probably end up in the ageuk pile as these aren't my colours but I'm sure someone will like it 🧶

Now to cheerier things. I finished the blanket. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Last week I gave another pile of crochet blankets to ageuk but I will be keeping this one 😁🧶

Hoping to persuade my elderly mother-in-law to start going to a community centre run by AgeUK, and wondered if I could take her the first few times. And so I learned that I am well over the qualifying age to attend. Taking a moment to contemplate both mortality and hubris.

Had a superb chat with my ageuk friend today and she was thoroughly inspiring which was exactly what I needed today.
I've now ordered a self help book and a tower fan 😁

My oddments blanket is finished. It's going in the pile for ageuk, apparently my previous pile of crochet blankets have all been distributed, which makes me very happy 😊
It feels like I've spread a bit of colour and warmth into the chilliest parts of Northumberland.

Our excellent local AgeUK bookshop have assured me that they can find a use for even the worst of books in, apparently, roadbuilding.

Outstanding from AgeUK Northumberland. Seeing real life stories like this shows the importance of charities and their volunteers. They really do #makeadifference. I’ll be popping a donation in their collection box next time I pass the AgeUK shop ❤️
I've just had a little cry, look what Ageuk Northumberland just dropped off! Their call each week really helps but to get a present too has really made my day.
Socks, soap, shortbread in such a sweet tin, M&S cherry liqueurs, hat and a book I haven't read. I'm so lucky 😀

Just brought my mum back from a taster day at an AgeUK day centre. She enjoyed it, so 🤞 she’ll want to go back next week.

My lovely ageuk lady is coming to visit me tomorrow. Despite us chatting for such a long time, I've never met her!
She's coming to collect the baby blanket but I'm wondering whether I can get her to take some rhubarb too 😁
We might have tea in the summerhouse. I'm excited 😊

That lady phone operator on the AgeUK Lottery ad. Does she always sound like a soft twat when she mentions old people?

Today I talked with my wonderful ageuk woman, she absolutely adores the undersea baby blanket for her grandson. She really cheered me up.
Plus my house was cleaned by someone who can actually see, and I love it, it feels so much more peaceful x

The child poverty rate is one in three. The working age poverty rate is just over one in five. The pensioner poverty rate - according to AgeUK, who campaign on this stuff - is 18%.
So children are almost twice as likely to live in poverty than pensioners
