Name: Ron Ellis

Programme: Learning is Fun

Location: National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port

Course attended: Canal Folk Art. I haven't gone on any kind of courses since I left school. My wife and I have just bought a boat to live on so I enrolled on the Canal Folk Art course, it was fantastic.

What happened next: I decided I wanted to learn more so went on the Willow Weaving course, I'd love to do more of this. I then did the Rag Doll course and the One Pot Cooking course. My wife is very impressed with my new sewing and cooking skills!

What have you enjoyed the most? I am so pleased I took part in the courses. I have met some lovely people. Learning how to sew and finding out how people used to live on boats has been fascinating. I'm looking forward to passing on my new skills to others including my grandchildren.
