            Not much to say!  I enjoy crochet, spinning, reading, walking. I love the idea of information exchange from around the world, that's why I'm here.

                    It's supposed to be Spring here in Australia.  Well, it is, but we are still getting frosts in the morning, and the temperature is still dropping to close to 0°C(32°F) overnight.  To me, that is far too cold.
