Crochet night and Kippers

 Last week Ready Steady Knit went out and about. With my loyal band of helpers I packed up a basket of goodies and went to join the ladies of The Hearth Craft group at Horsley for a crochet night. A great night we had too - sharing skills, drinking tea and eating cake.

 But I have been out and about this week too. On a rare day off we went to Howick Hall on the beautiful Northumberland coast for a walk in the gardens.

 With all the wet weather , the bog garden was in full bloom

 But not appreciated by everyone!

 Then we went to the nearby fishing village of Craster which is very picturesque

Where we bought some kippers from the world famous smokery to take home for tea.

Happy Quilting and Happy Hooking too.
