Yesterday in the Uxbridge Pavillions was the monthly Brunel University Happy to Chat ..bringing the local community together and combat loneliness. 
The elderly hands in this photo belong to Olive a 90 year old .. who had knitted her Great Granddaughter to be born soon, a beautiful vintage baby shawl ..3ply wool so fine and like the pattern I have google found. She had a video on her phone to show us... I wish I had it to show you ..so so beautiful.. we all wondered how she had done it. She was saying its done in sections but the border lace was the tricky piece to keep to pattern ..Needed Telly off and no distractions to keep in the pattern mode.. She had been to the wool shop in the Uxbridge Pavillions to show the video of completion.. In our "Happy to Chat" became quite a conversation piece with the Brunel students, a lecturer and all round the table having a natter (chat) together. Bless her she got some lovely packaging from the card shop to present the gift to her grand daughter for her baby Great granddaughter ..we all hoped this surely will become an heirloom passed down for generations to come.. 💞
