Minnow End would be good. I am fighting it out with the design of a rainbow shoulder-bag to go with the rainbow scarf, and it is thirsty work.

That sounds splendid, Fishy
The scarf was beautiful
I would suggest lining the bag with a firmish cotton fabric & using an ‘O’ or ‘D’ ring to attach the strap.
You could use a charity shop bag & clip the strap from that on, or a leather belt

Ah, I shall use wooden curtain-rings such as are used on my bag, to make it into a back-pack if wanted, or a shoulder-bag. It’s a very clever design, and one she’s admired once or twice. The strap (something between fine and six feet long) goes from tied to a ring fixed to one bottom corner, up to and through a ring fixed on the opening of the bag, in the middle of one side, through eight more rings fixed round the opening, back through the first ring at the top and then down to be tied to a ring on the opposite bottom corner. When it is in use, the rings are pulled together and close the top of the bag. If the strap is long enough, it can be worn over one or both shoulders as one pleases.
I was thinking of thick curtain-cord, the twisted sort like rope.

I need a lie down after reading that, Fishy …
A decent Haberdashery or anywhere selling curtain fabric should have the different gauges of cord for you to choose from

My brain hurts, now. Clever Fish.
Mr Soo has driven off to Tesco for wine and sundries. We are to be graced by the presence of That Poodle (and her hangers-on) for the weekend. The wine is partly in honour of the visit, but largely because “that ****ing ash tree” is causing Himself distress. It doesn’t belong to us but resides on the council grass to the side of our house. At various times of the year it sheds branches, leaves, and husks onto our lawn, is HUGE (occasioning furious lopping sessions) and the worst of it is that he wanted to dig it up when we moved here 34 years ago, stating that it would grow too large and I stopped him. Well, I was concerned that it would be classed as vandalism. The gale is enabling the tree to shed all sorts of debris onto our lawn. So…wine.
