I mean, I'm not old enough to retire, am I?
NO, I'm young enough to explore my options and talents :-) seriously, first day of official retirement from my job and thanks to the current situation I've already been off work for 8 weeks or so.
I've lost nearly a stone, feel loads better, moving easier and also found that that things that are important to me don't actually cost much .
The final festival that we have booked for this year was cancelled last night, we have a campsite booked in August which we are hopeful about as its attached to a large country park so plenty of space to walk around.
So, last week, what did I do ?
Lace making.
I'm very nearly at the bottom of the bookmark, I've not been working on this much as I had a fleece delivery that needed my attention.
Spinning.
I know I said that I had to use what I had but another 4 black bags arrived and after sorting very strictly I was left with these. Ian kindly picked them up fresh from the farm costing £2 each ! I don't like buying without seeing but it was worth taking a chance for this price.

| Blue face Leicester x swaledale |
 |
| Balwen x texel |
 |
| 2 x balwen |
The two white ones are really nice, the brown ones are iffy but I will get something from them hopefully. Really not bad for the money !
Last weeks spun yarn.
 |
two more ryeland, the coloured one is the balwen/texel Each skein is 115-120 gm |
Baking
 |
| scones, Scottish oatcakes |
 |
Ginger cake, very similar to Lyons in taste and definitely improves after a day or two. Sticky fingers :-) ! |
Flowers
