A Knitted Cowl and A Lovely Day Out
Hi Folks, Hope you are all well and enjoying the last few sunny days. As you know Annie took me out to lunch yesterday as part of my Mother's Day gift, and of course I did not know where I was going, even all my guesses were wrong. However, staying in Ayrshire we visited the village where our national bard was born, yes, the wonderful Robert Burns, known in Ayrshire as Rabbie Burns. We had lunch in the Brig O' Doon Hotel and after some fabulous food and wine, we went for a walk about in the stunning gardens. It certainly brought back lots of memories for me as young woman I sang lots of his songs at concerts and suppers. A most Wonderful day and we both enjoyed some precious time together. I have added some pictures along with the second cowl I knitted for Carolyn, Annie got the first one and had it on before I took a picture, it was knitted in Sublime Tweed wool and Llama mix. Both wools were from Love Knitting. Hope you enjoy seeing the area that we are lucky enough to call home. Hugs Rita xxxx

Lovely photos Rita - what a fabulous day out. The Bigadoon Hotel!! I have been in the musical (twice!) but never been anywhere with its namesake! You look lovely.
The cowl looks wonderful - I will have to check out the wool. I am knitting dolls at the moment! I will try and get a picture in the next couple of days - lots of fun!
Hope you are getting some better weather than here - it is very cloudy so we will probably miss the eclipse tomorrow although I think it will get dark!
Take care Jennie x
