Thank you for those wise words, Corinne, last year I and my other half went on a pre-retirement course where we were told that we needed to make time for ourselves. I thought I had it all sorted out, but life has been turned upside down in the last few weeks and putting the theory into practice is going to be more difficult than I thought. Still by the time I retire my grandson will be nearly 3 so I might be able to teach him to make lace.

It is great to see and look after your grandson but do make sure you have time for yourself as well. I was lucky to have about 3 years of retirement before I started helping with my granddaughter. I love her very much and enjoy having her but it is tiring. I always told my daughter I would help but was not always available to help as I have a life of my own. So make sure you give yourself time for your crafts as well as having time for grandson. Enjoy retirement. Corinne in Brighton UK.

I'm hoping to retire at Easter next year and over the last few weeks I've started planning in my mind all the things I want to do, especially lace, as I'm not getting time to do any at the moment due to family circumstances. But I'm just getting hints from my daughter that I shall be expected to do lots of grandson sitting when I retire. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to dream on...
