I’ll be away for a couple of days, doing a spot of housekeeping, tidying, and mending some things that need fixing. Do excuse my absence but rest assured that I’ll be back soon. Meanwhile, here’s a sight for sore eyes: my version of the old TV test card. You can probably tell that I’m a little obsessed by old cards of mending thread. Some of my favourites are tucked in here: the Duldarn lady with her Marcel wave has to be right up there in my top three. Enjoy!
