I knitted lots of little hats for newborns some time ago but didn’t deliver them to the hub at our local wool shop as the hospital stopped wanting them. However, now they are needed in Ukraine as are larger ones for bigger children. The next truck will be leaving Cornwall with various supplies in the new year.
We drove past the thatch again and it is looking splendid. What craftsmen those thatchers are.
I have shared several of Naomi Shihab Nye’s poems before but this one I had missed. It was written in 1952 but is so sadly relevant still.

The poem is heart piercing. It’s comforting to know that little hats are being made for little heads in this world.

I thought so too. I thought a long time about putting it on here and decided it was a beautiful piece of writing even if ‘heart piercing’ as you say. While seeking beautiful things every day, I can’t ignore what is happening in the world. Thank you for your comment. 😊

That thatch is FAB . . . and so are all your hats!

I am in awe of the skill of the thatchers, especially balancing on the roof to make this beautiful work. 😊
