Tomorrow is back to work and time to face reality. So for tonight I thought I'd share just a few more photos.
This was the start of the sunset on our last evening at Arduaine, the sky changed so rapidly the camera couldn't keep up and I just kept saying I didn't want to go home.
We had made no plans for where to stop on the journey back. Matt drove until he felt tired and then set the Tomtom to find a hotel. We ended up with this
Matt is shattered but still proudly showing off his "Pollysocks"
I finished the unpacking today was was rather amazed at how much yarn I had managed to acquire - I really do not remember buying all of this (and there's a hat on the needles from some handspun that's not even in the picture!)
Wonder what I could have bought if I'd planned the trip properly!
Posted by Yvonne at November 5, 2006 07:58 PMThe photos are simply beautiful, Yvonne! I keep telling people here that the skies of the UK North are something special, but I think it has to be something that needs to be seen to be understood. I've had yarn-buying blockouts at time. Ask the boyfriend about the primary striped worsted weight sometime... :)

Posted by: juliet at November 7, 2006 11:22 PMlovely haul! great photos too. Tell Matt that pollysocks must be worn or they'll pine away...
we just got a tomtom recently.. they are really great...we don't get lost as much and I don't get stressed trying to figure out which yellow road we're on.

Posted by: minnie at November 6, 2006 02:07 AMI'm trying to see the shawl pattern too. Amazing how this stuff jumps into the suitcase, isn't it? Very nice! (That's the yarn, patterns, hotel and views)
