Having been away from home for the past week, I have returned with a change of heart over the title: the magic carpet has floated off to be replaced by Grandma's Yarns, which I hope will have the kind of ambiguousness I am looking for. This Blog will indeed contain yarns of the recounted and story kind but it will also be closely connected with those of a more fiberous nature; in other words, it could be said that yarns of all types will be spun here......
Frustration has set in somewhat, at this early stage, with template issue and I will be grateful to anyone who can cast light on how I make the typeface the same size throughout an entry, since it doesn't appear to be in my first entry. I am perhaps making things somewhat more difficult because I am uploading from an App (BlogGo) as well as from a computer. Since this whole thing is new to me I am feeling my way somewhat: strange results may sometimes occur, especially as I attempt to collect my images together from diverse sources and try using them to illustrate my 'yarns'.....
From last Tuesday until earlier today, I was in North Wales; first of all at Portmeirion and then, Llanberis. As anyone who is familiar with that part of the world knows, the weather can only be depended upon in one sense and that is for its uncertainty. However, we had some of its best and its not-quite worst: three beautiful days out of six isn't a bad total, really.
Portmeirion: Clough Williams-Ellis' Italianate village. He wanted to "Cherish the Past, Adorn the Present, Construct for the Future". Here follows a very brief introduction, for now......
