Late breaking addition to my birthday goodness. My friend Madeleine who I worked with in Amarillo is English, and she had her mother sent me this wonderful yarn for my b-day, hooray!
She also included a postcard from Bath, which is someplace Chris and I are planning to go in the near future. Assembly rooms, the Crescent, Sally Lunn cakes and of course, lots of Jane Austin goodness.Yesterday outside the kitchen window I saw my first robin this spring! He stayed put long enough for me to take a picture through the window, but as soon as I opened it he went away.
He is a bit camouflaged in this pictures, but he is sitting on the rail near the center of the photo. I saw him again this morning though hanging around my bird-feeder, so it seems to be working! There is a great website for identifying birds in the UK and I plan to make good use of it this summer. I've already seen about 3 species hanging around in our neighbor's back gardens that adjoin ours, it is shaping up to be a good summer.
Today is the woman's head race on the Thames, and our roommate Sally and Patrick's girlfriend Sarah (of cake face stuffing fame on this blog) are racing. We are going to go down to the water and watch them, pictures to follow!
Yay! Do you have plans for that yarn?
