Le Tour de Fleece 2011: Day Eleven

More beautiful scenery as the cyclists go through the Tarn region, although rotten weather for the finish. It has been cold and grey here but luckily not wet. I haven’t been to this area of France but it looks lovely, another place to add to the list of nice places to visit.

It was spinning group at Seale today so the spinning progressed well. We spin in the Manor Farm Craft Centre Tea Room which was not quite as busy today as it sometimes is. They make lovely homemade soups and cakes so I had tomato, celery and lentil soup for lunch and carrot cake and tea for a treat afterwards 🙂

In amongst all that eating I did manage to spin a bit more on the alpaca/merino:

I think the colour is growing on me.

Today’s coin is a Japanese 100 yen.

Tomorrow I get to play the fun game where I see how much yarn I can pack onto the bobbin (its a game that never gets old 🙂 ).
