Once again, there’s been a long gap since I last posted - I have been on holiday though, and we were pretty
busy before we went – so that’s my excuse.
During the last month, we’ve performed in two Charity concerts
with our G&S Operatic Society, in Ormskirk and Liverpool – both went down very well and, after a final lunchtime one this
weekend, we will be having a Summer break before getting down to learning the music for our production in March 2015 - ‘The Mikado’.

We had a lovely family barbecue, towards the end of June,
to celebrate my husband’s, our grandson’s and our son in law’s birthdays. We were blessed with a beautiful Summer evening
and the food and company were wonderful.
Just before we went on holiday, Liz and I went up to
Cockermouth to Woolfest. It is always a
great day out – lots to see and lots of inspiration. There was lots of lovely fibres and felt,
spinning and weaving equipment and, what really struck us both was that, on
many stalls, people were using a variety of drop spindles – we’ve never seen so
many different kinds. Mostly, I managed to restrain my spending, but
I did buy some wool dyes (surprise, surprise) and a couple of wooden
stamps.
Finally, we went on holiday to Pembrokeshire – it is the
most beautiful, tranquil place and never fails to inspire me. The weather was so good, this year, that we
mostly stayed on the beach relaxing. We
did go on one walk where we saw lots of birds, butterflies, moths, wildflowers
etc. and stopped to watch some fishermen gutting their catch.
As soon as we came back Liz and I went to a craft fair at
a church in Woolton – a new venture for us which is likely to become a regular
monthly fixture. In preparation for the Summer Arts Market St. George's Hall l made some 'chicken bags' and some ipad and iphone cases. As usual, it was a very enjoyable weekend, lots of lovely crafts, brilliantly organised, and some lovely customers. Can't wait for the Winter one.
