Mags also happens to be a professional bookbinder so she was able to create this unique book with Jane in mind. I confess that as soon as I saw the watercolour picture on the front I knew it was perfect for Jane and had to be careful the tears didn't stain the image. I know many of you have created luggage tags with your messages and this book will be available at the Walnut Tree on Wednesday 3rd and at the "Open House" here in Market Rasen so please leave your mark in the book - I promise to go first...

Unfortunately her failing health meant she hadn't quite finished it but it was the last thing she ever knitted and appropriately it was for an animal.

It seems Stan took to it straight away.
