What can I say?

What can I say?

I'm sorry to have been neglecting my blog for so long. What can I say other than I've been busy! Next weekend finds me in Dundee visiting Fluph wool shop for a trunk show. If you are within striking distance of Fluph please come along. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there, and visiting Dundee which, as I mentioned in a previous post, is where my Mum used to live.

A very formal photograph![/caption]

Mum still has vivid memories of the city. My great grandmother lived just off Perth road, and Mum remembers walking up Blackness Road, where Fluph is located, to visit her. I hope to get a chance to take some photographs to send Mum during my visit. I'm sure there will have been big changes since she was there, but some things may still look familiar.

Here is Mum walking 2 of her own children at Broughty Ferry - it looks FREEZING! Here's hoping Dundee is a little warmer next weekend:

And here's a taste of some of the yarn which will be going along with me to Fluph

I look forward to seeing many of you next weekend.

Lovely photos. Yes, I remember how little girls used to be dressed in cold weather - lots of layers on top, wool coat, possibly a hat - and bare legs with short skirts that got chapped and chilled. Brrr....

Lovely colours. That bottom right is very like my Dryad!

It's probably not so, but I almost feel as though I remember that freezing day on the beach!

My Granny and Grandpa lived on the Perth Road - quite far out, next to Lawrie's Garden Centre. Mum was born and bred in Dundee, until she married Dad, and they moved to Aberdeen when he went to University. Mum's in Perth now, and I think it felt a bit like going home for her when they moved there.
