    Gavin and his wife, Susan - a knitwear designer and fashion historian, run their company from the heart of the English Lake District, where they
    publish knitting books and patterns under the Susan Crawford Vintage
    imprint, and run their own dye-house, Assa Marra Wool Studio, to produce a range of hand-dyed knitting yarns.

    I'm sorry to miss this one - I had no idea that Susan Crawford (one of
    whose books I own) had anything to do with RISC OS!

    (But alas, I still have a very expensive singing lesson on Monday....)

    What's expensive singing. Is it like ordinary singing ;-)

    It costs a pound a minute for tuition and the fees are not refundable if
    you miss a lesson :-(

    Blimey! For that kind of money, I'd expect to be taught by all three
    tenors!

    I'm just back from choir practice - it cost me 48 minutes worth for a
    whole term...
