We have a randomly-selected winner in the Valentines giveaway! Congratulations to Claire P, whose theme tune of choice was from Jam & Jerusalem. There were so many theme tunes that I had forgotten about (Laverne & Shirley, Rentaghost) and many that I didn’t know at all (Hinnigan’s Island; Mr Rogers). Tom and I really enjoyed reading through your choices — so many gems in there (Triangle! and Charlotte’s remarks about Triangle!), but no one suggested the theme from Taxi, which, on reflection, is probably my favourite of all. (As a child, I loved Taxi and Cagney and Lacey, and found New York City in general Very Intriguing).
My other exciting news is that I am off to Shetland for a few days! See you soon!
Lucky you! Enjoy!
Hurrah! It is bleak and overcast here in Shetland today, but perhaps the sun will come out for you! Hope you have a pleasant and inspiring time here. :)
Have a good time!
lucky, lucky you! Have fun!
Congratulations to Claire…..and happy travelling to you, Kate.
Have a lovely trip – and thanks so much for setting such a fun challenge for the giveaway – I loved reading through all the comments and managed to waste quite a lot of time checking out all the links.
We look forward to your Shetland report.
Congratulations, Claire P!

Hey Kate , have a good time of Shetland.
Congrats, Claire P. Enjoy!
Have a great time, Kate! One day….I’d love to visit Shetland too…..
Good heavens! How delightful! I’ve never won anything in my life before and I’m so glad that when I do, it’s a knitting/yarn thing.
Thank you, in advance, for the yarn and all the congratulations, and if you haven’t heard Kate Rusby’s voice, it’s a pleasure waiting for you over on you tube.
Happy knitting!
Lucky Claire. Lucky you!
Congrats, Claire!

Oh how 3 words can wound …. “as a child” …… I watched those programmes as an adult …. now I feel old!!!
Congratulations to Claire P.
Enjoy your trip, Kate!
Lucky Claire! Have a great time in Shetland Kate and Tom.
Oh, it’s too bad you didn’t get to watch Mr. Roger’s as a child, though I can see why since it’s an American show. We only saw it on PBS (the US version of CBC/BBC) because it was a “free” channel, meaning even if you didn’t have cable, you got PBS along with CBC and some odd local stations. He was such a sweet man – highly religious, yet highly tolerant and loving of all people even if they were the kind of folks his faith told him he ought not to tolerate. His mother hand knit every sweater and cardigan he wore on the show. :)
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to Tom!
