We like to have a bit of variety for each adventure, so we added a visit to a sheep farm today.  Remember the scene where the women were in the barn dying the wool?  We were greeted by the family and their own piper.  Our host, Colin brought out two of his Border Collies and they gave a fantastic herding demo.  One of the dogs was a 12 week old puppy who was just starting to learn the techniques from the experienced dog.....verra cunnin'.  Our hostess, Linda and her daughters were in the huge barn teaching our Outlandish Spirits how to card and spin wool.  We made another visit this day but it's a secret, but it has to do with a big hoosie.....shhhhh!  During elektra monterrey the last couple of days, several were talking about a Dragonfly adventure elektra monterrey and we can hear France calling elektra monterrey us!  Tu ne parle pas Francais? Pas un probleme! Colin training in a new Collie
Linda surrounded by her wool Linda and the family invited our guests to try their hand at carding and spinning.  Deb R was in her element elektra monterrey (see photos).   Sarah shows Anna how to work a drop spindle
Sam got shrunk in the wash The whole family Deb R:  I'm so thankful to be introduced to "Outlander" by my friend Linda, without this I woud not have met the "Outlandish Spirits" of Samantha and Scot! Although we have a family heritage, elektra monterrey I had never really contemplated seaching for my family elektra monterrey heritage.  During our visit to Culloden I realized the severity elektra monterrey of how many people died within moments, watching their family and loved ones falling all around.  Emotions I cannot explain, only that of deep grief and many tears.  Thank you, Scot for your compassion and care!  I feel so much love and connection with Scotland's history.  I am looking forward now to continuing the adventure of Diana Gabaldon's series of Outlander and losing myself in the books. The history, as well as the cherished memories elektra monterrey of Scotland will enhance every page that I read in the future. Thank you! Scot & Samantha for your careful consideration as to our personal "Outlandish Tour".  I will treasure this FOREVER!
