We are now Back Home. Did loads of shopping in P'boro yesterday, and I got some lovely balls of Rowan 4-ply soft in chocolate, which I am marking down for another vest top. I think I like them, and they're good under coats and that. Got some little pressies, including a couple for

I am similarly puzzled why the Gwyl Gerdd Dant is always billed on S4C, and is on the idents, and is, in fact, on all official publications &c. that I've seen, as Gwyl Cerdd Dant.

I couldn't find an umbrella swift at a price I was comfortable asking my parents for, at the time (found one after they'd bought this, of course). Still, I like this design, as I've seen umbrella swifts people have had that have become harder and harder to put up as time wore on.
