Spent most of the last month applying to Fairs for the Autumn/Winter Season. I have only just seemed to have stopped selling at them last year.

I am hoping to get the (at the moment) redundant circular stocking machines out of the attic and see if I can attract some more knitters once I have got them up and running.. After that I thought I would ask anyone who wanted to have lessons to come and learn.

Also trying to lose weight most of the time this is a losing battle but Nellie, the border terrier, Poppy, the labrador and I are walking and walking. It is my sort of weather up here cold frosty and sunny - love it. Of course when I get in I have to not eat chocolate!!

I have also been looking after poor Nicholas Craig's new knee - It is going slowly. I am getting him to do his exercises and it is working which is wonderful. He will soon be walking round with me. I am not sure how much I will enjoy that as I quite like the solitude. Northumberland in February when it is like this is wonderful and it snowed today as well. Just hate those wet dank days.
