I don't think Mrs Clive would share your enthusiasm Gill.  But perhaps you would not be impressed with her Viking sewing machine.  Neither am I really, I still don't get my trousers shortened or buttons sewn on shirts!

I probably would be interested in her sewing machine, Clive.  I'm fascinated by all sorts of creative work, including knitting, sewing and lace-making.  Sadly, there are only 24 hours in a day and wood chippings tend to spoil fabric, so I stick to the craft I know best and enjoy.

Can you persuade Mrs Clive to show us some of her handiwork?

[Clive]

If only Gill.  She has the gift and means of creativity but just like my telescope, her sewing machine is all about posession.  She began her career as a needlework teacher and she feels the need to own a sewing machine.  Perhaps I should get her to teach me how to use it!

Glad you're pleased with your pressie, Gill!

We expect to see some samples soon, Gill. It does look gorgeous, I love tools.

[Simon]

The only tool I have to hand, is a hammer.

I collect them, on the basis that one day I will have just the job for them.
