Hi everyone and welcome to a the new followers. Hope your keeping warm. Ive been busy spinning and trying to catch up on jobs round the farm that cant be done over summer. Plus means on days when its over cast and im not making a lot of power (solar-powered has its ups and downs. Off grid can be a challenge) I can do all the jobs that need doing when powers low. This also means its a day of rest for my hands and mind. Im still spinning a minimum of 3 days a week. I also have a few days teaching coming up and cant wait to see my wee friends. Im now full for may and mid June. Lots of wool booked in which is great but the spinning can be slow on the old tredle wheel. So I apologise in advance for it taking a bit longer than over summer when I can spin for 10 hrs a day or while children are at school or busy creating master projects outside.
Have a wonderful night

As the rain starts and a good rumble.

Well just a few finishing touches and the trailers almost done (well shop part anyways). Bathroom and heating system is almost finished. After this weekend ill be looking for carpet to put down ( if anyone has any garage or hard wearing thats not needed ) and then finish the kit out over next few months between markets and other events. Then October is the start of the show season. So will hopefully have it all finished by then.

Im so truly grateful and appreciated your support
