Helping paws

Down at the mill, and even though the raffle is over signed books are still selling well, both at the mill itself and online, so we sent Her off to sign some more and also sent instructions to the mill cats, to help Her out.

 

Tired after all the hard work, Heddle rested a while and checked that the books fit in the box.

 

Wool and dragons and cats

At Middlemill there is a mill, with a stream running past and a big water wheel. Sometimes otters swim by. Inside the mill it smells of wool and at the mill two cats work, keeping mice from eating wool and sitting on the rugs to be sure they are comfortable. Heddle and Bobbin. Both have eyes like dragons.

In the mill the looms hammer and clank and you can watch the weaving and see some of the old machines.

Amongst the wool and the sheepskins and the other beautiful things are now signed copies of Her books for sale. You can order them by email, or by phone and you can see more of the mill at their website.

When She signs books She always draws a little picture too. Each one is different.
