We're now entering the second week of our stay in sunny Scotland and Eric's Mum is still in hospital. The doctor has now told us that there's no way she can go home again, so we are trying to make arrangements for a nursing home. Not good news, but we know she'll be looked after a lot better there.
The good news is that my spinning wheel came with us this time - didn't have to hide it in the boot as Eric suggested I bring it. I managed to put quite a bit of stuff through my drum carder before we left home, but have brought the old hand carders just in case I run out. I'm currently spinning Brewster Bob (he's the cutest alpaca at La Maison des Chameaux, in fact, he's the only alpaca at La Maison! - sorry Brewster, but you are cute anyway!!) Also brought a bag of llama (from Tallulah), a bag of camel, and some red and blue merino which I need to spin to finish my sweater dress.
Spinning activities happen in the morning, hospital visits in the afternoon (we don't go in the evenings any more as she just gets too tired) and cooking and knitting in the evening. What an exciting life we have here!
Tomorrow night we're going to the local village pub where some friends are putting on a traditional music night. Pete, our friend who has a traditional music shop in Stonehaven, has promised to bring a guitar for Eric so he can play a tune or two. That might come as a bit of a shock to the audience though as he's a rock and blues man! Should be an interesting night.
