Having finished the curtain for the back door, I had reason to go to my box of bits to make something else and re-discovered a piece of the Laura Ashley fabric I showed you the other day. There was enough to make a curtain so I have made another one for the back door in a fabric we love more.
This was the view from the dining room window as I was sewing this afternoon. 
If you have seen the film, Hamnet, you may have wept over the twins. Having twins myself, when I read the novel by Maggie O’Farrell, I found the chapter heartbreaking. One of our twins was very ill as a tiny baby and when we visited him in hospital every day, I always put his twin sister in the cot beside him. I love this poem by Helen Farish.

I haven’t read the book or seen the film. But this poem is amazing and shows the bond between twins. What a wonderful thing to do. Makes me emotional thinking about it. Thank you for sharing.
Your curtains are beautiful Sally, you’re very clever 🥰 Hope you’re both keeping well love Judith xx

The book is remarkable and the film mostly stays true to the novel. I don’t usually like a film of a book I have loved as it is never what I have in my head! This one, however was good.
Glad you felt the poem as I did. I find it very moving.
We are keeping well, thank you and hope you are too. 🙂
