Brief Summer Interlude.

9/7/2019

 
Hello, once again !

First of all , thank you to all who attended the Quirky Workshops "Summer Solstice" owl workshop on the 21st June , and those who came to make some fine hares a couple of days later  at the same venue . Again , we had a super time , and if you haven't already done so , have a look at some of the  splendid  results on the photo page  from both the above days .The next workshop is  the Herdwick Doorstop , on the 28th of July at Quirky Workshops again .

I had planned a short  break in the workshop schedule so I could get caught up with a few things including trying to get something into the galleries , and also to visit our family and particularly to spend some time with our Grandson who's approaching his 1st birthday . 

We've  just returned from an enjoyable week with our Daughter & family. The weather was fine and we had a couple of nice days out with them , including a visit to the local air field where the sounds and sights of the light aircraft held  young Jesse's attention for the afternoon (and Richard's). Richard & I had also planned , while we were down there , to walk  part of the  "Cuckoo Way " , which follows the tow path of the Chesterfield canal  from the point where it joins the River Trent  North of Gainsborough back to our Daughter's , a distance of about 30 miles I think . We took the train to Gainsborough and booked a couple of B&Bs as  overnight stops for the return walk  , which took us through some picturesque countryside and interesting towns like Retford, which was quite pleasant and which we'd never visited before , also Worksop  where we stayed on the outskirts  , and never really got a look in the town centre .  We only had 5 miles to do on the last day , but due to Richard's Achilles tendons becoming stiff  we thought it wise to get Heather to pick us up to avoid aggravating the situation . Despite the fact we walk a lot locally including the fells , Annie ( at Quirky Workshops ) had  actually warned us that walking long distances on the flat  when you are not used to it puts constant pressure on the same parts of the feet and legs as opposed to ascending and descending  hills . With hindsight , trainers or his  soft boots may have been better than the leather hiking boots with hard soles , as my feet were fine , but we really enjoyed the walk,  I did feel a little unprepared, next time I won't be!

Lastly, we were contacted a week or two ago by Kathy Cartmell who runs the on line publication Qerky Art Magazine .(nothing to do with Quirky Workshops) . Kathy asked if she could  write a piece in the July edition which is all about woolly crafts, and is out now, about Annis's Hand Felted Creations, how we started and what we do etc  . This , of course was really appreciated . If you are interested in crafts of all kinds you can visit. www.qerkyartmag.co.uk/qerkyartmag/ and perhaps check out the magazine .

See you Soon !
