"We're doing a two-day basket making course", I explained. I was greeted by stunned silence.
Basket making was never on my bucket list, but my #yr60 campaign is more subtle than that.
It's about doing things I'd never got around to doing - for whatever reason. Crafts are really not my thing, but I suspected basic basket making might be more about knowledge and experience - time actually doing the thing - rather than specific skills. Turns out it was great fun, in good company, with great food, in an idyllic location.
Obviously we got to swim and run as well, but the highlight was leaving the island with our two new baskets. At £120 each they're not exactly cheap, but that fee did include two lunches and dinners. Plus I might know enough to attempt another basket. One day.
