I just got back from Carlisle where the last day of the Continental Market was coming to its end, and I wanted to catch at least a couple of loafs of freshly baked sour dough bread from the Polish bakery that always has a stand there. The bread is just as delicious as German sour dough bread (oh how I miss German bread!!!), and I always buy a few loaves and put them in the freezer. The French were there with their yummy feta filled peppers (they simply are better than the ones prepacked from the stores), and I also bought a handmade bar of glycering shampoo bar with bergamotte and rosemary essential oils...hm...I have never used shampoo bars before, I wonder if it's going to work with my long hair, you sort of have to rub that bar along the hair to make it foam. Let's be excited ;o)

First thing I saw when I got tot he market place was a group of people with dozens of beautiful and majestic greyhounds - these dogs are rescue dogs from the racetrack...if they get the "useless" mark they are out and usually get shot or put down because they simply don't bring in the money. I love dogs very much, I am the type of person who will never ever want to live without a dog (or two...or three...) in the house, I simply enjoy their company too much, and it is so practical as they can be taken along on vacations, or run beside the bicycle for exercise if you are lazy for a day, or, if they are too small for that type of running, they can sit in a basket attached to your handle bar!  Anyway, I chatted to two of these people for a long time while cuddling a very very gorgeous greyhound girl....YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW CLOSE I CAME TO SAYING "HEY, I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME"!!!!!

This is the website, which is packed with information about greyhound rescue:

and this is Thomas, the dog of the month. Is he handsome or what!!!?

Who knows, I may end up with one of them, perhaps Sam would like a playmate?

Right, before I dive into my yummy sour dough bread with stuffed feta peppers, here are my lates handpainted Bluefaced Leicester wool rovings, which I finished last night....YES, NO CINNAMON THIS TIME...;O).... They are all displayed in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com . I hope you like the colourways!

Everyone have a very peaceful Easter time!!!
