I thought dyeing yarn was hard work, but I know better now.  It is harder being photographed!



I was under the impression that it would be mostly wool that was being photographed, so I hadn't dressed for the occasion, and given I was busy dyeing wool when the photographer, Angie Catlin, arrived I'm afraid I was dressed for warmth and anti-dye splashes rather than for fashion and style!



Two and a half hours later, and with more photographs taken of me than have probably been taken my whole life, a cup of tea was in order:

Angie was pretty struck on our location and surroundings, and I think she would happily have stayed for longer, but it was off to Nairn for her for her next assignment.

So an exhausting, but relatively painless, day.  I just wish I'd ditched the apron before Angie arrived!  Where is a stylist when you need one?
