An excellent sunrise with Black Mountain, clove scented candles, sweetgrass and a peace pipe. Pink Champagne poured over fresh stawberries. Full English breakfast, served al fresco at the new picnic table. Probably the best solstice weather we've had for at least ten years.
I have the day off to enjoy at my leisure and Wimbledon starts this afternoon. I ordered two new packs of yarn yesterday from two of my favourite suppliers and the granny stripe blanket is coming along nicely. Progress slowed a little when I got back to work full time, but there's no rush.
The spare room is sorted for now. I can finally get at all my stash and the yarn I bought at Wonderwool is now safely boxed and out of the big sitting room much to the relief of himself, and me to be honest. I am still short of some pale green variegated from the Natural Dye Studio for the triangle blanket and they just don't seem to be doing any, but I have plenty to keep me going with the granny stripe and then the blanket for the mock Lloyed Loom chair I bought for the bedroom.
Well it is now far too hot for me to sit outside and we got a free trial for week against our old EverQuest accounts so I will leave you with a couple more pics.

The grand old man, he's fifteen now, if he were human he'd be a hundred!
MERRY SOLSTICE ALL
