Day 14,15,16 not a lot of spinning

 I did , in fact, spin every day but not a lot ! here's the wheel after Fridays spinning, and after Saturday it looked pretty similar as it was hot and have you ever fallen asleep spinning? In total I spun 60gm on one bobbin and about 50gm on the other when we returned home on Sunday.


What we did do is head out about 40 miles into Derbyshire and pitch up on a campsite for a couple of night.


The main reason was so that Ian could try out his new bike on the Tissington Trail.


I took things at my own slow pace and walked along the trail to the village of Tissington. I honestly didn't think that I had been there before but soon realized that I had but probably 35+ years ago.




The village is very picturesque with a large duck pond and a Tudor Hall dating to 1609



Opposite Tissington hall is one of the two wells in the village used for well dressing. 



I had already passed one of the smaller wells on the way to the duck pond.




As I headed back to the trail I spotted some rather nice iron work, an engraved table and a familiar person pulling up on his bike, just as I was buying a drink and some flap jack ( timed that wrong as , of course, he wanted the same ) and made my way back to the campsite,



Remember that I said that I had left my cross stitch project in the van? I managed to pop a few more stitches in.

Yes, I have fallen asleep spinning before. It's so soothing to me that it lulls me to sleep quite often.
You visit such lovely places. With all those beautiful things to see I wouldn't get much of anything done.

I love Tissington. Our Art group go to Derbyshire every year for a couple of days. Went to Tissington a few years back. Beautiful place. Weather looked lovely for you x
