@joanna Result! Well done!

@joanna My mother has a calendar and some greeting cards as well as the books.

@kdfrawg I think so. I don’t feel drawn to it myself, but she’s always enjoyed colouring. She used to fill in more pages than we did when we were children.

@joanna Very stained glass window!
My mother doesn’t like using felt tips — she likes the softer colour she gets with pencils, but I think she’s finding the books quite useful for keeping her hands busy when she’s not quite feeling up to doing other things. Since I bought her the first couple of books, other people have seen her doing it and brought more, so she has a big stack of them now.
@literary That’s a shame, but it doesn’t really sound as if it’s the best match for your skills.
@matigo My mother had them when my sister in law worked, so she did get a little time before they were brought back to her.
@matigo Just a family story. Mainly in my brother’s favour that he was just sitting reading, not out doing wild things. Most people understand the desperation for a little bit of escape when you have a baby or two in the house.
