"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

I have a new baby

I have a new baby.....
Raced up to Bendigo yesterday to collect her, 450km round trip, am still recovering. Picked up a very dear friend along the way and we had lunch in Bendigo. Two birds with one stone so to speak.

My new baby, the spinning wheel is still parked in the boot of the car, have had a quick look at her and she is soooo pretty, although she is in desperate need of some TLC.

I had such a lovely day!

That is......Until I got home to a flood in the laundry.........Hot Water Service!
