Liking all things custard, I was immediately drawn to the Kindle book by Susan Alison, White Lies and Custard Creams. I tried out the first chapter and can report that it’s superbly light-hearted. It’s only 97p at the moment so I think I could stretch to that and finish the book. I must confess that I’ve formed the bad habit of downloading samples to my Kindle rather than buying entire books since they’re just the right size to read at night. I guess I’m not alone.
Once the rain had stopped this morning I found some colour inspiration from nature. Admittedly, these flowers in the War Memorial garden are cultivated
and they’ve taken a battering from the recent bad weather. The three colours are a combination just waiting to be transformed onto a silky yarn.
Down by the river I found darker contrast of red and green on a mature mountain ash. The wind was blowing
but my iPhone did a pretty good job.
Then it was back home to skein my recent efforts at multi-coloured hand-dyeing: a violet/fuchsia mix and a pink/grey/natural. This is so much fun!
