And don't you just hate it when....

Some silly little oik behind the counter insists on calling you 'mate'?
I wasn't his 'mate' in any sense of the word and if the carrier service that Amazon Prime use was better organized, I wouldn't have been travelling to Basildon in the early hours of Saturday morning to collect a book that Royal Mail would have stuffed through the letter box..

Saint Valentine's Day

Beautiful roses from my so romantic other half who puts up with my ever growing stash of fibre, needles, yarn, spindles and now wheel without a murmur...

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Jasmine was born a week ago but I saw her today for the first time.
I now have three beautiful grand-daughters.

Details of the great spinning course at Urchfont Manor and my new wheel will come later.

And Louiz, thanks for all your helpful comments; can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog
