First off, Happy Birthday Nanny Ashby! (my one remaining grandparent), 99 today! Also happy Bastille Day.<\/p>\n

On my travels out and about today I spent some fun time at Fibre East<\/a>. I had a lovely look round at everything and had a go on a Spinolution Bee<\/a>, and a great wheel! I was not too bad on the Bee, and pretty rubbish with the great wheel, but it was good fun and has spurred me on to have a proper go at longdraw on my wheel. The best bit of the day was all the lovely people. It was so nice to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a while and meet new people too (hello Margaret!), and also to put faces to names I have been chatting with or buying things from on the internet.<\/p>\n

The weather was a bit squelchy and there was a bit too much mud for me, I am a big wimp! But luckily it wasn’t torrential rain during the day and it actually stopped raining and warmed up by the time I headed home. Thank you for the tips Anna on driving in the mud, I got out of the car park with no problems. My shoes are drying out in the porch, although I was impressed that my feet stayed dry, and my trousers are in the wash as I write. I hope the stand holders didn’t get their stock too muddy, there were some very wet bits of the marquees.<\/p>\n

We have been catching up with the cyclists this evening, but are still only part way through today’s coverage. I have finished spinning the singles of merino \/ silk. Tomorrow I shall ply it.<\/p>\n

Today’s coin is a 50p. Well done to David Miller for yesterday’s win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
