Okay, almost everything is packed, and I have constantly been climbing over boxes, bags and other stuff flying around for the past 2 weeks, taking care not to break my neck on my way through the house....SIGH....it's complete chaos at the moment and I still have loads to do before I can empty the house, pack up Sam and take off across the water to Germany.

May I say how completely overwhelmed I have been by all the people who have contacted me over the past week to wish me well for the move and to send me heart warming thoughts ever since I announced my change of country in my ebay store and on my website!? You guys have no idea what your messages mean to me, they have given me such a boost indeed!!!! So thank you very very much for thinking of me and for being so kind...it is ever so touching....!

So before I finish my last blog for this month I would like to include some more photos of "Long Meg and her daughters" druids circle at Little Salkeld, where Sam and I went for a nice walk last week when it stopped raining for just the right time!! ;o) Oh I can never get enough of Cumbria, the Pennines and the wild wild natural beauty you find there. Hm, let's see how long I will be able to stay away from my heart's delight...I reckon it won't be too long :o)

Below you see what waited for us at one of the gates that we actually had to walk through.....we changed our mind and climbed some stonewalls instead....

When I saw this really pretty hen at the watermill in Little Salkeld I immediately saw a new colourway for a wonderful natural yarn design in my mind. Her colours are gorgeous, aren't they?

Apart from packing all my stuff for the move I was also very busy finishing 3 more custom orders for handpainted and handspun yarns, and yes, I forgot to take photos of most of the beauties....SNIFF.....I so wanted to show them on my blog too before they went to their new homes! One order was for 7 large hanks of handspun and handpainted Merino slub yarn for a very sweet dreadmaking artist in the States, and the colours came out so very well, I was really proud of those hanks. Well, they are gone now but here is a photo of a set of 5 handspun white Baby Camel Down & Silk Lace Yarn, 55g/340yds, veeeeery time consuming and labour intensive, and sooooooo rewarding when I finished them. They have now gone to their new home in the US:

As far as I know these gorgeous beauties will be turned into a fine autumn lace shawl. Fantastic!!

Okay people, let me get back to work, I am still trying to finish a new Bluefaced Leicester yarn before I pack up my last box of wool and load the spinning wheel into the van. Everyone take care and you will hear from me again once Sam and I have crossed the water. My ebay store will remain open for that time and I will start mailing all paid orders from Germany on October 1st.

SPEAK TO YOU ALL AGAIN VERY SOON!!!!! ;o)
