Welcome to Week [2] in the reign of “Regal Roslyn” as I continue with my personal life in my adopted county of Derbyshire. My husband John (Dorset born and bred) and I originally met through Tennis, with both of us being sports secretaries in our respective Halls of Residence at Leeds University. However, after arriving in Derbyshire in September, the Tennis Season was virtually over.

There I began teaching, but with John working 12-hour stints as a shift manager in textiles and me not knowing anyone in the area, I took to cryptic crosswords. Thus began my fascination with puzzles and quizzes, I think! I also started playing Badminton with a group of fellow teachers at their Friday night after-school club. Playing Tennis and Badminton (not at the same time!!) don’t usually go together, but my love of both games has continued and I still play league matches in the lower Derbyshire leagues. My fellow club-mates say I am “extremely competitive” to say the least! Could that be a euphemism for “a poor loser”?

After four years’ teaching, we started our family. Jonathan arrived in 1981 followed by Abigail in 1984 and so began the next stage of my life with everything revolving around our two wonderful children. I thoroughly enjoyed being a stay-at-home mum and with it, all the mother and baby/toddler activities and duties. To me, motherhood was “teaching”, but on a much smaller scale to a much younger audience! Each day brought something new and I was lucky enough not to miss any of it.

I never went back to full-time teaching, but when the children were old enough I started doing a bit of supply work at a local school, which I loved. It was great to go to school for the day then come home and forget it all – no lessons to prepare, no homework to mark, and the job paid well too. I have since done a couple of maternity cover stints, where I was a real teacher again, but it was only ever for three or four months. Both children have followed in my footsteps; Jonathan reading Maths at Nottingham and Abi becoming a teacher after reading Chemistry, also at Nottingham.

In the 1980s I started knitting again, having been taught at an early age by a fanatical knitting grandmother. My children loved all the usual cartoon characters and I passed many an evening knitting jumpers and cardigans with their favourites on the front – Postman Pat, Thomas the Tank Engine, Paddington, Care Bears, My Little Pony to name but a few. (I hope I haven’t broken any copyright laws!) Orders from their little friends came in thick and fast and I was kept very busy for a few years! Now it’s the turn of the offspring of my children’s friends to place orders and I am still kept busy! No hint of any grandchildren yet – not even a wedding in sight, so I’ll just have to be patient!!

Down to the business in hand! As far as my MM Links are concerned, needless to say, I shall follow the rule on word length adopted by crofter. Each of my chosen link words contains at least four letters and at most eight. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts! Each of my selected words may go in front of or after my challenge word. The competition will officially close at 7.00pm on Sunday evening when crofter shall disclose my selected words, then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past.
My second set of four words to have their links predicted will appear below at 9.00am.
Could it be the sport theme or have you tried to throw us off track and it's the knitting ????
or children's TV characters ????
children's books?
I think that's a 'snap' really Kay! :0)
Ah, knitting, Regal Roslyn! It's in our family genes too: My mother used to knit sample garments for shops before World War II, I've always enjoyed knitting strange things such as Christmas puddings and triangular lacy shawls, and my daughter is a knitwear designer. So I'd love some knitting links....
