Nice new wool

This is what the postman brought. Two jumpers-worth. From Cucumber Patch who deserve a compliment for speedy service. I am interested in what you said Helen, I wonder how we all managed to get the wrong end of the stick. It is sad when a brand we have trusted for so long finishes, and it is immensely cheering that this is not going to be my last consignment of scrumptious Jaeger yarn.

Nature notes: The heron is sitting on the roof of next door's shed. He is just too far away for me to zoom in and take a photo so you will have to imagine him. I know what he is doing - he is considering the goldfish in their pond, but since it is netted over, even if he manages to spear a fish he will not be able to get it back through the netting. That would be a waste of a goldfish, so I think I had better go and slam a door to encourage him to go away. While I do that, please imagine him lazily flapping away, sighing as he goes . . .
