We had a busy Fibre East at the end of July, the new venue was really good, the weather was good and we met lots of our internet customers which is lovely (it is nice to meet in person). Unfortunately I didn't take any photos.
This weekend it was Hovingham Market (again no photos, I forgot) I spent a couple of days last week making some new lines including peg bags, beach hut cushions, note books and keyrings. It was a busy market and I'm going to have a busy week before Danby show on Wednesday 14th August making more things.
As this week is getting ever busier I decided to have a relaxing evening in front on the TV, I was happily multi tasking, winding a ball of yarn, watching Only Connect and playing along on my laptop. Next there was a knock at the door and a neighbour had popped round to say four sheep had escaped and were in some cottage gardens. One greedy guts put his head in a bucket for food and I caught him quick, Jemima leader of the flock jumped over the fence back into the fields leaving her two adult lambs confused and still in the gardens. These two just wouldn't go where we needed them to, this is where I get my secret weapon out Chazza. Chazza is an old very tame sheep and he was easily persauded to eat some sheep mix on our side on the fence next to the two escapees. His prescence had an instant calming effect on the two sheep who were still wondering where their mum has gone and with a bit of encouragement they popped back through a gap in the hedge I had just removed a hurdle from. Sheep are funny creatures some will jump anything others won't jump at all and I didn't really get that relaxing evening watching TV.
