Do you remember having someone show you the finer art of ironing a hankie?
When Meg wanted to do some ironing the other day I had a very vivid memory of my mum showing me exactly what I was going to teach Meg.
Spray with some water, iron right to the edges, fold in half and in half again and finally one more fold and then iron flat.
A skill she may not grow to love but will certainly learn to perfect at a faster pace over the years to come.
I am amazed at the simple things that I find myself teaching my children, that were taught to me at the same age.

Now that is something I NEVER iron!
