Reading emailfirst thing in the morning may not be such a good idea

For some reason my eyes lit on the signature line of this email first:

"Your dealer in addictive substances."


Which is all a roundabout way of saying, that after 25 years of wanting to spin I've finally ordered a drop spindle, roving and book, and the email was my order confirmation.

(I'm sure I've mentioned before how when I was seven, we moved in one street over from a spinning wheel shop (it's not there any more, but it used to be in some woman's front room, and last time I googled it I found a page from someone lamenting its closure). Since then I've been fascinated by the whole idea. I'd not long started knitting, but I don't think I related the two ideas in my head.)

I don't remember any spinning wheel shop?

It was run out of someone's front room, just south of the alley on Furnace Lane
