It starts at 11 am and we stop between 1 and 1.30 pm. We have biscuits and coffee or tea.
We only do this during the winter months as in the summer most are very busy (except me, perhaps).
Sophie and Sue both have a smallholding with farm animals and veggies.
Sophie sells loads of lettuce to the local restaurants, coffee shops and has her market stall on Tuesday Sneem market in the summer. Derryquin Farm
Sue runs her own holiday let, Bridget's Cottage, beside her farm.
Maggie is an artist and has plenty of work with her pets, ducks, chickens and husband (haha !). Anneke (Sophie's mum) is retired and has crocheted most of her life and spends her days crafting all sorts. Her crochet is as delicate as lace and she's been known to sell pieces at the Kenmare Lace center. She surrounds herself with cats, dogs, chickens and all sorts.
Best not to crochet anything too complicated where counting stitches is important. Lots of chatter, giggles and laughter will make you lose count.

It sure is, Liz ! Thank you for commenting.
DeleteAnd I have now discovered your blog too. It is lovely. Right up my street.
How fun!! Is Sue crocheting something from Attic 24? Those colors are great!!
ReplyDeleteDon't think she is. Just a random never ending granny square, using up yarn. :)
DeleteSounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon, I think I need to join you then I might actually master crochet as it has defeated me so far!
ReplyDeleteI am not a serious crocheter and I haven't mastered much. But the others are well and truly advanced.
DeleteI can imagine you four sitting around the table and sharing snippets of gossip about your fellow villagers, between you as to who has done what and with whom :)
ReplyDeleteHaha ! We're with the 5 of us. I wasn't in any of the pictures as I was the photographer. ;)
DeleteWe don't gossip too much about fellow villagers. Our respective husbands oth get the brunt of it quite often.
Oh wow I wish I lived closer - you like like a fabulous bunch of crafters. I'm desperately searching for some crafty minded friends - none of mine do so I need a few new ones! xx
ReplyDeleteWe could do a skype session with crafty bloggers.
DeleteThese here are indeed a fabulous bunch. Often hilarious and always up for a laugh or a giggle. xxx...x
Oh they look a lovely bunch. Ladies who crochet, instead of ladies who lunch, what a wonderful idea :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're not posh enough to be called 'Ladies who lunch'. Haha !
DeleteWhat a fantastic way to spend a few hours. Great to have such like minded companions. Crochet and gossip. Perfect therapy for us all
