Title: Wonderwool
Post by: Lesley Silvester on February 10, 2015, 09:19:36 pm: Is anyone doing Wonderwool this year? I gave it a miss last year but really want to go this time. I'm considering doing a night's B&B so that I can go on both days, or maybe on the Friday so I can have a full day there on the Saturday.

It would be good to meet other TASers who will be there. Two years ago I met Bionic with her OH and it was lovely to have a chat. They were also very kind and helped me get my purchases (lots of) back to the car and get my scooter in. This time I will have a hoist to get the chair in so I have no ulterior motive in suggesting a meet. ;)

I will let you know nearer the time, meeting up would be good!

Louise, I hope you can make it. Let us know and we can fix a meeting place/time.

Sally, I didn't go last year as I still had so much from the previous year. I still have a lot of stuff from then but I have to go again.

Post by: Dogwalker on February 12, 2015, 09:54:25 pm: Saturday if I do go I think.

I've got one ewe I bought inlamb that I'm not entirely sure of the expected date but could be around then so will all depend on her.
I'll have a word tomorrow morning and tell her to have it Easter weekend with the last of the other ewes. :roflanim:
