Major Oak We had an absolutely wonderful day wandering around the bowyers and archery shops of Nottinghamshire - bow shopping. While we were there we stopped off at Sherwood Forest.   Next month, Mr. and I have booked in to do a willow basket weaving workshop at The Basket Case . We had a bit of inspiration at the Archery Have-a-Go in Sherwood Forest. They had some beautiful wicker ground quivers.  Mr. decided to "Have-A-Go" even though he's been an archer for over a decade and already been to three archery shops that day to try out their bows! Boys and their toys! Spotted Robin Hood while we were there too...

We had a lovely weekend with a day trip to Lincoln; where some scrumptious wool was bought and some wool wash. Plus a very large chisel of some sort for Mr. which I'm sure will get plenty of use on the lathe. I started a new project; as my current one's aren't particularly car friendly. It's going to be a scarf and it uses King Cole Galaxy DK in a very zingy pink! Sunday was a full day out in the sunshine at Horncastle for their Family Fun Day. Our archery club ran a Have a Go at archery and we were non-stop all day. Lots of interesting people and nice sunshine.
