It's been a while, November round up.

 I'm sorry that I've been missing for a few weeks, we've been busy and somehow I never got round to updating the blog.

So, where have I been ? mainly out and about with my camera.

We have an arboretum in Nottingham and I spent a couple of hours with the local U3A photography group capturing the autumn colours and well fed wildlife.

W visited Papplewick Pumping station and were entertained by a Japanese drum group....

whilst we hunted down krampus.......

before finally catching them in the cafe. ( had a great conversation with them )

The next trip out was to Chesterfield where we got battered by a storm, we did however pop into the church with the twisted spire and a spinning wheel in the stained glass.

The rather large motorhome parked next to use did a very good job acting as a windbreak at Poolsbrook campsite near Chesterfield.

It was a little bit breezy !

I took a trip to the Knitting and Stitching show with some friends, forgot about photos until we stopped for coffee, Beautiful building :-)

Some crafting has been done, I'll show you in the next one as now I have to pack again just in case we get the urge to move on haha.

Speak soon xx

Guild weaving day

 Last Saturday was guild weaving day although for me it was a bit of a struggle first thing. I woke up, checked the time with Ian who told me it was twenty to seven on the heating clock ( which is 10 min slow) No panic then until I picked up my phone and found out that it was actually 10 to eight !!

It appears that the heating clock had switched to daylight saving time a day early. The next hour was a mad rush to get up, shower, sort my stuff, realise that my inkle loom will no longer fit in the bus luggage compartments on the new bus, grab knitting and e- spinner instead and catch the bus into town.

Why so early? well, my Guild day starts with coffee and breakfast in town as my treat.

Anyway, I forgot to pick up my ear buds and thought I had forgotten my wallet so had to detour to the bank to pick up some cash for the charity sale table,

Nottingham seems to be torn between getting ready for Christmas and Halloween.

After breakfast ( I do like to sit and look out of the window ), I got stuck in a traffic jam, stuck at the rail crossing, and diverted from the normal bus route,

 I eventually arrived at the Guild meeting a little late.
Most people had already set up and there were plenty of looms to have a look at and have a go on.

I may have acquired a new to me loom as well but more about that in another post.

Speak soon x
