Autumn

Autumn is nearly over and winter is approaching fast. I could not resist taking a photo of this puddle with its fallen leaves and the reflection of the tree in the background it really cheered me up 

Brantwood house - Ruskin Lace

Sadly I have not managed to do anything else to the little birds but I hope to get them out this afternoon to play with their shape.

I went with I S to the Lake District where we visited Bantwood house the home of John Ruskin . Sadly no photos were allowed but they did have a display of Ruskin Lace to look at . Ruskin was inspired by Cypriot lace to develop the Ruskin Lace as we know it. This created a cottage industry for the Coniston ladies which in turn helped the local flax industry. It is a beautiful house with magnificent views over the lake .
