Poor old George, the nice horse who is featured in my Blog header had to be put down yesterday, he was very old and blind in one eye, a thoroughbred, had been a showjumper in his heyday, but spent his latter years in the company of Shanti, and little Oscar, a Shetland, and he outlived them all. Miss you George.

Antique Dutch Flax Wheel
My antique Dutch flax wheel was brought over from Holland and sold here in the U.K in an antiques market. It has an integral wool winder and a distaff with blocks of peat/solid moss to hold the fibre. Little bone or ivory finials. It is working but a little tricky. 18 inch wheel, smells like a church interior.
