Beatrix Potter and the Herdwick Sheep
Beatrix Potter and the Herdwick Sheep Last night we watched a program about Beatrix Potter and her deep connection to the Lake District. I had forgotten about the work she did to help the Herdwick Sheep thrive. As a child I knew about Beatrix Potter, but she wasn’t my favourite author. And largely I…

Generosity
This is a scarf woven by a friend and gifted to me. There is no one who appreciates a hand woven gift as much as another weaver, especially if it is something different than they might usually weave. As usual with such gifts, it went into my teaching box as an example I wanted…

Hunkering Down for Winter
Still no snow to speak of, but we have been having hoar frost that sparkles and glints when the sun manages to come out. The past 3 weeks (approximately) was filled with a bunch of personal maintenance appointments. I seem to be running out of options for making life more ‘comfortable’, and now I…
