Okay, hands up who noticed....
No-one? What a surprise!
Yep there's a new bit at the side, photo gallery
So far I've put the new pictures from Spain in there, others (many from this week) will follow eventually.

Saturday 7 June 2003
I got back from Spain on monday night. I was tanned, refreshed and I had a bag full of goodies. Five days later and my tan is peeling, I'm shattered from doing a night shift last night, and most of the bag of goodies has been eaten, drank, or given away.
The holiday was great, I slept, sunbathed, and generally relaxed. I explored a lot, shopped a little, read a little, swam a little and crafted a lot. Large sections of cross stitch were done (I'm working on a Collecting Shells) And several pieces of crochet were done, then undone, then done, then undone, etc. I bought a crochet kit with the most bizarre instructions I've ever read, it looks like a geometry lesson, there are a few written instructions (in Spanish), but the pattern is made up of lots of different symbols, and each symbol represents a different stitch (crochets, double crochets, trebles etc). It's wierd! I'll have to take a little photo to show you what I mean, putting a little bit of a pattern up won't breach copyright will it? The kit includes 200g of size 5 crocheting cotton, and a pattern to make either a top, or a hat and bag. It cost €10.19, which is about £7.50.
Okay, 3 things.
Unsurprisingly I went a little snap happy, so expect a bunch of photos to be posted somewhere soon.

- I'd never be able to get that much wool at that price here.... never mind a kit with 3 patterns and a hook in there too!
- It was being sold in a Supermarket! How come I can't find a decent craft shop, yet in Spain you can get your craft supplies in your local supermarket!
- The world is an unfair place.
