The Woolery has been on our radar for a number of years. We got the Ashford Traditional Spinning Wheel from them by mail order in late 1999. Since then we’ve gotten spinning and weaving supplies from them either by mail order or at their booth at SAFF in Asheville. Today we parked the T@B at a campsite at Kentucky Horse Park, stopped by to pick up Phil in Lexington, then headed to downtown Frankfort to visit The Woolery live anyin person! The plan was to learn all we could about rigid heddle looms. Now Karen is the proud owner of a 16″ Kromski Harp with stand, a second heddle kit, and two extra heddles. It’s a folding loom that can travel with us when we hit the road.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
