Leckford Festival

David and I were lucky enough to get tickets for the Leckford Festival. It was a great day out.

There was time for serious knitting

the terrific tractor tour onboard a Leckford trailer where we took a ride around the estate to learn about the marvellous mushrooms, amazing apples, cool chickens, wonderful wheat and other tasty foodstuffs that are produced onsite

a wander round Longstock Nursery, which sells a wide range of plants and shrubs, and is also home to the national collections of buddleia and Clematis viticella.

A visit to the Longstock Water Garden is a MUST

It is a haven for plants and wildlife.

We departed Leckford around 5'ish and

stopped off at The Mayfly for an early supper.

More opportunity to knit

Going Sailing

Tomorrow I leave for my overnight sailing trip.

I take socks with me to pass away the overnight stay at The Tulip Inn. I let the men sleep on the boat and join them for breakfast early the morning after!

I loved my Tiger socks so I thought I would do some Zebra and Tropical Fish socks aswell.

The Parrott, Ladybird and Flamingo ones look fun don't they?

See you later in the week.

Happy Knitting
