That looks GREAT.
Macs Bags are having another bagging day on Saturday so there will be plenty for our pod to get their teeth into. Everyone is very keen. Many thanks.
I am off out this evening and will be giving away 20 plus bags.
See you tomorrow.

If anyone else wants any fabric that "hill" is a worm cast compared to what is still left in my garage! I did try to take some photos, but I couldn't get it all to fit in and show something for perspective, so you could see the problem with the mountain. I need to clear out the garage in the next month or so, for various reasons too...

I collect from Skopos every other week and the minimum I have brought back is 5 bags and the maximum, probably 15 very full bags (bags stuffed in every crevice in the car). If we average out, I would say 8 bags a collection, so even if there is a collection missed for Christmas/New Year - that is still 25 x 8 = lots and lots to go around :D

When I initially agreed to collect it, it was intended that my husband would drop if off or meet up with pods, if he had to go offsite with work or his choir concerts around the country, but typically of course, he doesn't seem to get out of the office as much as he used to. So if anyone has any bright ideas on how we can move any fabric around the country, starting either from West Yorkshire or the Manchester area, or we can get some down to Nottingham/Leicester, we would gratefully explore them.

We are home safe and sound. I know we collected several bags full, but you know, I am sure that they multiplyed on the journey south. Have spent the evening finding places to store it. Thank you so much, Macs Bags will enjoy turning it into bags. :D
Very nice to meet you Offcuts, it's always nice to meet the person behind the name. I will send you the map as promised in the next few days.

Travelodge have a sale starting at 6am tomorrow. I'll see if there's anything going that would facilitate a trip north...
