Talking to a chap this morning about his sewing/pattern making instructor who he obviously admires and appreciates greatly. I’d pass her pins all day! he said. Yep, that’s devotion I thought.

Unfortunately it’s all too easy to miss out on simple devotion born of respect and gratitude. Non of us want to tip over into servile behaviour after all.

A hat tip to the chap who, at 70 has taken up pattern making and fashion design.
