Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.
Looks so soft @Hazel 1 , lovely. I don't crochet properly, I hold the crochet hook in my right hand and crochet as if I am knitting. Have just completed the second critter, this one is for Gabriel my youngest grandson, the sheep was for Jonah the oldest. I'm doing a fox next for my grandaughter.
Not much of a crafter, tbh, but did go on a two-day willow weaving course at Easton Walled Gardens recently... if I had a pound for everyone who’s seen it and said: “Wait ... You? YOU made that...?” I’d be a very rich lady!!!

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
