I have my daughter and son-in-law staying till next Thursday so time for a little sightseeing. Indoors it would seem as the weather has decided to become winter so today a trip to a nearby woolen mill to watch machines spinning, weaving and turning all powered by hyrdro electrics. Finished by the usual visit to the shop to try on hats, gloves and scarves and wrap ourselves in rugs - none of which we brought as they were far too expensive - then to a cuppa and cake which weren't.

Have now got all my outfits ready for The Asylum minus the pin striped bustle I was getting from someone on Etsy which has failed to materialise and who has yet to answer my mail. We shall see. My thoughts about being too hot have rapidly changed and I'm now considering winter coats as cannot imagine swanning around courtyards in the temperatures they are at the moment! I am also anxiously waiting for the confirmation email to arrive from the organisers - no doubt mine is going to be the one bouncing around the ether!
