I'm so glad you had a fab day out, it shows in your photo's which are stunning.<BR/> Re the wool jumpers, always use an acid dye on wool, you can also use a cold water procion MX dye, a company called Kemtex based in Chorley sell them in small quantites, it's good for fleece as well, you can dye the fleece without felting it,as you are using warm not hot water, plus salt and soda ash it's cheap and works.<BR/>Can't wait for the cup cakes xxxLynnSea Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465151079231928631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974731630916833829.post-73149312863008399862007-08-24T03:21:00.000+01:002007-08-24T03:21:00.000+01:00You are so lucky to live close to such a wonderful...You are so lucky to live close to such a wonderful place.

I was intrigued by your comments about the trains. Having only new experiences with your trains, not old ones, I didn't know that things were new. I actually spent quite a few times traveling by train as a child, not something common in the US, and I have really fond memories of them. I loved using the trains in the UK and was surprised to at your comment that you hadn't been on them recently. I sort of got the impression apparently that all you Brits used the trains regularly. I know I would if we had such a great system.<BR/>Moving on - by high street shops, you simply mean the shops on high street? Any high street? Why do you dislike them - too touristy? Too busy? And what are "lanes"? Well, aren't I the question girl today.Laumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311615016374555526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974731630916833829.post-85864016613832938822007-08-19T15:27:00.000+01:002007-08-19T15:27:00.000+01:00Wow looks like a fun filled day in Brighton!I am l...Wow looks like a fun filled day in Brighton!<BR/>I am lovingthe name of the cake shop, how fun and the cakes lok divine.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439815155539818834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974731630916833829.post-53670811289737440362007-08-19T14:39:00.000+01:002007-08-19T14:39:00.000+01:00Ginny I love your photos and stories!
