A colonel's hobby

THE EAR - The Freeman
December 18, 2014 | 12:00am

HOBBY. A retired army colonel has a hobby that keeps him at home most of the time. His hobby is not collecting firearms but crocheting. With his wife, a crochet expert, they both produce needlework products they export to Spain where a daughter lives.

OTHER HOBBY. This retired military man at first picked up the artificial flower making hobby but shifted to crocheting at the prodding of his wife. Let it be stressed that this retired colonel is no sissy. He has fought many battles against insurgents and has many medals to prove it.
