Lazy August Days

August seemed to be our month for getting out and about.  Firstly, our visit to the alpaca farm, kindly hosted by the farm owners.  For some, this was the first time they'd seen the fibre on the hoof.  For all, I think it was a lovely evening to be spinning in the late sunshine, surrounded by countryside and some rather curious alpacas.  Many thanks to our kind hosts for allowing us to come and play.
 
Our second outing was to our Guild friend's farm, where we got to ply and play in a lovely farmhouse. Anytime our host would like some house sitters, there is a list ....  thank you for having us.  Everybody brought goodies to eat at both outings, so we went home well rested and fed.  Speaking of which, what first appeared to be Tutankhamun's packed lunch turned out to be some natural dyeing in progress.
