Crafts in Camp

2013 New England, Road Trip, South Carolina, States

Last year as we began planning for a new camper and a great long rambling trip this summer we also planned for activities in the campsite. Santa gave Karen a folding spinning wheel and Steve brushed up on his whittling skills. Today we carried through on that part of the plan. We set up camp again at Kings Mountain State Park. We’re hoping that the refrigerator for the camper will be installed tomorrow. But this afternoon as we waited for the ranger to make his rounds we sat down to soothing activities. Steve’s bear is progressing and Karen has finally gotten her hands into some roving that fiber friends of hers obtained at a fiber event back in June. It’s good!

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
