No, I didn't go, nor to the Royal Highland - still can't face the crowds  :(

There is NO planet B - what are YOU doing to save our home?

Do something today that your future self will thank you for - plant a tree

 Love your soil - it's the lifeblood of your land.

We went, took our Gotland fleeces for the Natural Fibre Co. to take back down south with them to have spun as my spinning is not up to sellable condition and there's 26kg of it  :spin: :fc: :excited: . Also sent 27kg of Suffolk and Blue Faced Leicester to be blended and spun into aran. can't wait.


Back to Woolfest, a lot of the same stalls as last year, a few new ideas and I didn't think there were as many people there as last year  :thinking: , but hubby thought there were ??? . Excellent stalls and loads of lovely stuff.

So many ideas, not enough hours

It's a bit far for me to do in a day and I didn't want to stay overnight.
