Sorry to say that no sewing has been going on in this household for a bit. It is currently what used to be the tatty-picking holidays and the kids are off school. I don't know if anyone goes tatty picking any more - my friend Debbie and I used to pack our cheese and onion sandwiches and head off at 6am to be selected or rejected (for being too spindly) by the local farmer. It was the traditional way of making cash to buy cowboy boots, or whatever the latest thing was.
So, what has been going on in the Knotted household? Well, a trip to a gallery, where even the view out of the window looked like a painting:
A walk in the woods:

And a visit to a wedding "Over the Bridge" (Sprog 1 asked her father if he was going to wear his "quilt", thus confirming our status as a Scottish sewing family) which involved a stay "South of the Bridge":
I love the way every view is dominated by it.

Sadly these days there is not nearly enough time for this:
So. What is natty picking?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit Scotland some day, thanks for sharing pics!
I have the same question as Becca, What is natty picking?
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so lovely, I always wanted to visit Scotland and your pictures make me want to go even more.
Enjoy your break from sewing.

ReplyDeletewe southerners get an extra week before half term - no tatties down here, unfortunately. You live in the most beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI remember tatty picking although I never went myself my cousin did! Love the photos of the bridge and I really want to cross it some day. Can you believe I have never been to Scotland?! Hope you won't be too tired today after your early morning wakefulness.
ReplyDeleteyou've made a wee fife lass quite homesick! Great photos
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I love that kind of weather much more inspiring than wall-to-wall sunshine! Have never picked tatties, our middle son and his wife went grape-picking yesterday in Oxfordshire! Obviously a different class of picking in that part of the world:)
ReplyDeleteFab photos and fond memories as it's a while since I picked a Tatty :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt comment by your little one - totally adorable, and beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI've done that 3 in the morning thing before! Great photos!
