Bonfire Night

Yesterday was bonfire night, with bonfires and fireworks going off all around us which was wonderful for all the local children.  A real community affair even the local school got involved.  However not so good for my two dogs who cowered under the table shaking and barking for two solid hours, nothing we did would calm or console them. 

On a more positive note three years ago yesterday my beautiful Grandson Bertie was born.  It was unfortunate that we were unable to be with him to celebrate but from all accounts he had a wonderful day, bless him.  He had previously celebrated at Thomas Land which was idyllic for him as he is a big fan.

I spent a couple of hours sorting out my yarn stash and winding some of the gorgeous wool used for making Harris Tweed that I brought back with me from the Isle of Lewis/Harris from my trip last year.
I used three strands to make a thicker yarn to use to crochet some headbands.  The colours are a lot richer than the photo is portraying.



The yarn reminds me of the natural colours of the moors and evoke some wonderful memories.  The winder was a vintage buy from Renningers Mount Dora bringing back some more wonderful memories of a past holiday to Florida.  A couple of wonderful productive hours well spent.
 
How did you spend bonfire night?
 
See you soon.
