Cornwall , slightly spinning related.

 Hi

We had been back from Bridlington for a week before we packed our bags and headed down to Cornwall. This time we rented a small cabin on a campsite for five nights then moved in with friends for a couple of extra nights so that we could attend the local pub quiz ( our team won)

Not many photos of Cornwall, weather wet, windy but not too cold. We visited the Tate Gallery at St Ives,

walked down to Marazion

and generally sat and watched the sea.

Eventually we were driven inside Helston Museum of cornish life to shelter and there I encountered some more fibre'y' things.

Starting with spindle whorls

Then a very interesting spinning wheel, I would have loved to get to grips with this one. !!

I would also like to sort out this sorry mess and the labelling.

We are finding that many small museums house community quilts and this was no exception.

we are now back home, washing machine on almost constantly, planning the next couple of trips and prepping fibre (more about that next time)
