Beach Forage at Tammys

11th August 2013 - Backdated Post

Went to Carnoustie at Tammys invite to go beachcombing with some of the Dundee Mooters. It was a really great day - gorgeous weather, beautiful beach (with tons of shells and even hagstones!) and after a lovely long walk we headed back to Tammys house where she'd prepared delicious lentil and bacon soup for us all. I'd contributed a lovely crusty loaf (courtesy of Tescos) and a couple of cakes mysteriously appeared too. It was a reminder of times in Glasgow with potluck lunches and pagan happiness, a fresh page with a new place and new friends. It was very good.

Sunshiney Spinning

I've spent the last two days out in the garden spinning. I wanted to get my Leicester Longwool rainbow batts spun up before the end of the month and I have! Two whole batts, spun! And it has been so nice to be sat in the sunshine, no music or excessive noise, just the drone of the bees and the background chatter of the birds. Today my neighbour's curiosity overcame her and she came over for a chat and I brought down some of my spindles to give a wee lesson. She didn't really have the patience but was very chuffed at the little bit she did spin!
