A science teacher ruined science for me, after a public humiliation it never was the same again. However, a great cookery teacher has left me loving to cook......... I echo Lesley in her request to see what you make on the Julie Arkell day...........menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992762951482940335.post-47491412737984093702011-03-19T09:04:02.067+01:002011-03-19T09:04:02.067+01:00It all sounds lovely Wend.

She would hold up whatever I was attempting to do and announce 'Come and see what this silly little madam is doing!' It's wonder that I sew at all, but I learn't to spite her I think..Jeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553005051612551946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992762951482940335.post-74765793773338432172011-03-18T13:55:46.011+01:002011-03-18T13:55:46.011+01:00Oh dear I am still needing to learn how to sew.......Oh dear I am still needing to learn how to sew....Posiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844732200803572416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992762951482940335.post-16677842656231570162011-03-18T11:58:20.252+01:002011-03-18T11:58:20.252+01:00My school had a purpose built area called 'the...My school had a purpose built area called 'the flat' .... it was exactly like a bed sitting room would be and the home economics (cookery) and sewing classrooms were all off this room. Our teacher was close to retirement and she used to have this oily substance on her hair which stank! We made a PE bag and a fetching grey apron for cookery lessons. I've taught myself since then.

I used to be quite good at it but my mum said that this would not help me in life(!) and so I ended up taking french at 'O' level - which I hated and failed - got a 'D'. Mind you I did do quite well in other subjects and got to Uni but I still wish that I could go back in time and swap french for sewing!<br />June.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519222546233157254noreply@blogger.com
