Many months ago Loren and Karen agreed to trade handiwork. Loren agreed to make a hand crafted silver bracelet in exchange for a hand knit sweater. It took a while since Karen hand dyed the superwash merino yarn before undertaking that knitting and Loren made the fine silver wire and twisted it into 9-ply before tying it into an intricate turk’s head knot. Both pieces promise to be treasured by their recipients for years to come!
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
I witnessed part of the knitting, both gifts are truly amazing.
