Title: Hello from Mid Wales ...
Post by: wrigglefingers on April 10, 2015, 12:21:47 pm: Hello Folks I'm Jill or Shep.

I've moved to mid-Wales from my narrowboat in Coventry with my beloved Norwegian Forest cat, Viola. I've finally given up teaching teenagers after a year of being the supply head of a dysfunctional core department in a failing school. I thought I might be a wiser, saner if poorer person if I did. And I was right! I now teach folk fibre and fabric skills, cook for every one and have time to listen and talk. It's great although I still can't quite get rid of the sense that I should be doing marking ….

I was the one struggling to spin but managed a bobbin full of my blended wool. I'm still spinning but now using a double treadle which I find much easier.

Post by: mab on April 12, 2015, 07:15:50 pm: Hello from another down in Carmarthenshire :wave: . As I once lived on a sailing boat with my German shepherd dog in Brighton, I'm wondering if you're getting used to all the space out here.

Just off to google Norwegian forest cat...
