Hi Folks

Did I mention I was going to Wonderwool??? Well I did go and what a great time I had. I could spend all day telling you all about it but I dare say quite a few of you went anyway.
So off I went in the company of the fab Anjie P, Shirley and Erin (Shani couldn't come because of work and we missed her loads). We had a lovely journey to Builth Wells - with a minor detour through Monmouth (such a lovely town), so nice we went there twice.
We stopped off for a fresh cup of tea and coffee in what was a former car showroom now a cafe. Lovely drinks but they really must do something about their fridge, which did a pretty good impression of a banshee, despite having had a good kicking earlier on. As ever, we made somewhere popular - other people came and spoilt the show. Time to move on.
We arrived at the show in good time, parked in the disabled car park (very close to the action) so at least I know I'm good for something. Everyone should take a crip when they go somewhere.
We got inside the show and went our separate ways. I thought I would see them quite often, but only caught up with them twice.
First off, I met Jon Dunn from Easy Knits and bought some handbalm Vanilla Latte well at least I smelt nice. No honestly it's very good. I did the rounds taking in all the stalls and then went round again doing a bit of shopping. I met Longdraw James @ Woodland Turnery while I discussed a faster whorl for my Timbertop wheel. In fact I met so many people old friends and new I would be here all day naming them. Suffice to say I had a good time. I didn't overdo the spending so I've got a bit left over for later.
What else has happened. I sent away for some CVM Romeldale from Lilac Ridge Farm WI USA which has arrived (see photo) it is lovely and soft and springy. Also I ordered some Manx Loaghton top from Dickies. It too is lovely and soft - so much nicer than the fleece I bought years ago and threw on the compost heap as it was sooo coarse. Since Wonderwool, I have done some dyeing with Kool Aid dyes bought while I was there (see photo's) Jamaican Very Berry Coulis and Citrus Zinger. So now I've caught up on the goss and will have to get down to some hard graft to spin my stash.
I hope everyone is ok and I'll speak again soon.
