Wash Day

20/4/2019

 
I received a  couple of Swaledale fleeces from a local farm a few weeks ago and They've been waiting in the garage for the weather to improve , so I've made  use of the dry spell to get them washed and dried ready for use .

April Update .

Hello again .
This is just a quick update as I return  from another thoroughly enjoyable workshop over at
 Artison   in North Yorkshire . Thank you to  Gaynor & Sue  at Artison , and to everyone who came along to the workshop and made it such a great day ! A special thank you to all on this occasion  due to the fact that some of  the class lost the first hour or so  due to being caught up in the aftermath of a traffic incident which brought the  A 1  to a halt heading South . Hopefully no one was hurt , and it's a sobering thought when inconvenienced by situations like these , that someone else is obviously having a much worse day than you are .
When the ladies did arrive  though, they pulled out all the stops ( or in our case, needles )  to make up for lost time which helped  us to overcome the situation  and produce a nice flock of Herdwicks at the end of a lovely day . I am looking forward to the trip back again shortly , for the Hare workshop on the 5th May .  There are, as usual a few images from the day here .
After we'd loaded the car and said farewell to Gaynor , we headed back to Ripon where we stayed overnight , before heading further on down the Great North Road  to stay for a pleasant couple of days with our Grandson , and of course his Mam & Dad !

Spring Time .

 Spring has arrived !
Our resident blackbirds who have made our garden their home  have fledged their  their first young of the season . For the past three years or so we have been putting out meal worms  and the female bird has  taken to flying down and "asking" for them when she sees you appear in the window  Her & her mate raised three broods last year and judging by this years early start , they have ambitions for this year too . Richard also had his first sighting this year , of the osprey on  Bassenthwaite lake yesterday too .
We are now well under way with the busy 2019 workshop schedule , having just completed the third one yesterday . They've all been at Quirky Workshops  so far , beginning with the hare class on March 1st  . Next was  the Herdwick Doorstops on March 27th , and the one yesterday April 7th was something new for this year , The Bunnies , which went very well  . As usual each everyone attending made each class a really enjoyable experience and contributed to the relaxed , and fun atmosphere , and once again it was fantastic to be re-acquainted with some familiar faces from previous occasions and to welcome  some new ones . Thank you all  ! have a look on the     workshop photo page   if  you'd like to see some photos of those days &  the great results  .
This Weekend, I'm looking forward to heading back  to  ArtisOn  at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, with the  Herdwick doorstops . I'll be posting some pictures as usual , so keep an eye open  . If you're going along , I'll see you there !
Best wishes .
