10 Days and counting…
Our 3 week holiday starts in 10 days. Bright and early on the morning of 12 August, we will be driving to catch a ferry to France and then off on our adventure. Car camping with a family of 5 for 22 nights. The sort of famly vacation that will either go down as one of the greatest ever or the most gruesome of disasters. Probably there will be some measure of both. A rambunctious 5 year old riding with a teen sister each side… I just need to thank whatever deity is responsible for the most heavenly of creations – the Ipod. Entertained and contained. They can run around like wild beasts when we get out of the car (so long as we are not withing 50 meters of a museum) but in the car with faulty Air Conditioning driving through Belgium,Germany,Swizterland and Italy … yup, like I said “entertained and contained” .
Been really busy working on fleece and spinning and knitting. Very productive actually. But as luck would have it, our camera died. Totally kaput. Thankfully, a new one is on its way to us and will be delievered by a friend of mine from Oregon in Germany. It is so much less expensive to order one in the states than it is to buy here. It was so lucky that we were planning to meet up with my friend and her son on their vacation. Until then we will have to use the girl’s camera.
That also means that I don’t have any pictures of all the work I have been doing recently. It really is a pity too because I have been doing some really cool stuff. Dylan and Kiah are surgically attached to their cameras and it is nearly impossible to get time with one. When I get the new camera (an SLR! Woot!) I will takes loads of really lovely pictures and share them with everyone. It will be worth the wait, I promise!
