looking south

i had some time out


while travelling southward


dyed [and lived]


learned [and made] something new


stacked a rock or nine
and
 after various adventures


i am now on the South Island
very happily settled in with the lovely Keylock family
in their green and gorgeous valley
where class begins again in the morning

because the workshops in Scotland [August 2013] have very nearly filled
i am now able to announce
there will be a three-day class in Gloucestershire, UK
August 7,8,9 [please visit the workshops page at my website for contact details]

it had been discussed some while back however as the Textile Centre at Newburgh had asked me first i agreed they should also have first opportunity to publicise their classes

i'm particularly pleased that all is going to plan
because it means i can stay on and be a student in my friend Sandra Brownlee's class

      BEING here is a balm [although for a moment i had a Monty Python thought "a balm? it'll kill him!"...you may like to google that]

    Such a pity I can't be there, India - I am in Invercargill at the very south of the South Island.

    On this cold, dreary, grey winter's morning in the Pacific Northwest, I cannot tell you how how loudly I exhaled when I saw that first photo. Isn't it grand when things tend to stack up perfectly?

    Not sure, but think I see kangaroo paws at the bottom, or something akin.

      beloved by Tui birds who sup nectar from their lovely cups

    Hello traveler.. it has been awhile since I have been here at the blog world... I am sure you have traveled all over.. but here I see you are in Scotland.. my artist son Matt married a girl from Scotland so I have been to Edinbough... loved Scotland very much as I am sure you do too.
    have a wonderful class.

    And I now see that Scotland is in August... I will be leaving the same comment then ha ha. No, now I know that 'heading south' means New Zealand.. which also sounds wonderful.
