Beautiful, beautiful bluebells
Bluebells, one of my favourite flowers
The private school - venue for the fayre
Part of the orchard
And here I am busy spinning away with my friend from the Guild, who has taught me so much in the past, it was lovely to spend the day together. She was spinning flax into linen thread and here is doing a little weaving on an inkle loom, while I am spinning the wool. We were in the great hall by the fireplace, a lovely spot.
Proof of me spinning at the event
I also must share this picture of an old Sweet Chestnut tree on the drive towards the school - it is huge and some branches are being supported now. Check out the size against the vintage bus to the right! There were some of the taller trees in the grounds blown down in the 1987 storm in the South, they are still lying in the grounds and were very tall.
I LOVE tall/big trees, they make you realise how small (in every sense of the word) we are.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a picture of you.
