It was Sarah! The only disappointment was....that we didn't get a tour of the house! I was rather peeved at that personally...the gift shop was open :) but we couldn't go into the main part of the house! I guess that means I'll just have to visit again right? :)
DeleteWhat a spectacular property -- it must have been a fabulous weekend! Anne, I've lately "rediscovered" your blog (I was a long-time fan of She Ewe Knits) -- it's wonderful, thank you for sharing your stories with us all. And I have to add that I love my own Aga and highly recommend them!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth! You have an Aga? I didn't realize we could have them here! I am very envious :)
DeleteOMGoodness. I am so very jealous! Lucky you. I live so far away and cannot get to any of these wonderful workshops. Thank you for sharing with us and look forward to lots more.
ReplyDeleteJanette - it just happened that we were going to be in the UK, I saw the workshop listed...it fit in with our visit.....and I went. The reason we were going to the UK actually fell through....so I am glad I had this to enjoy, otherwise I might have been rather annoyed :)
DeleteThe cottage looks lovely. I wish I was there! I hope you had a good time playing with the wool!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time Dawn - I'm just writing up Part II now!
DeleteI want those blue transfer platters!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could find some if you tried Kristen! You must have quite a collection of china! Where do you put it all?
DeleteSo lucky Anne.......what a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteThanks Esther....I'll have to go back some time for the house tour! Unfortunately the house wasn't "open" and they didn't offer to let us look around :)
