thanks, @Duckileaks that's good advice. i think i should move away from the forum for now and just get out more!
@OLD FART hello, thank you for setting up pretty much the very thread i first meant to set up. i didn't reply right away because i am little bit scared! I do love knitting and hope to meet some knitting friends soon (or just any friends really!)
@Carer but i would like to say that i'm sorry. i did barge in all angry and i see now that it was wrong of me to do that.

phew!
Not at all! I keep writing things with capitals at the beginning of sentences and when I've used the word 'I' and for Dawlish -but when I post it all goes to lowercase on some of my posts. I don't know if I'm pressing something wrong somewhere. I'm sure I'll love Dawlish and its people as much as I love London and its people. (Both place names are in capitals as I write this!)
