Last post before I leave the country for exotic lands.

So, its 2pm in the afternoon, I just have to do one trip to the post office and we are all done, I am feeling a little disturbed, normally I would be pounding on the doors of the post office at 5.30, crying "you don't understand, you have to take the Wool' but not today, those 16 hour days have paid off. My head hurts and my body aches, but I am not feeling stressed, gees, there is no balance in my life, LOL. I am however unbelievably excited, I will be blogging the whole way through, I expect allot of it will be comedy blogging but you-lot seem to enjoy that anyway, and there will be allot of photo's I promise as my traveling parter is taking their laptop.



I was walking into town this morning (lost 1/2 a stone by the way in the last 3 days was struggling to get in my skinny jeans, and so ditched the van, and seems like bread and butter, oven chip butties, croissants, and an hours brisk walking a day is the secret to being 9.5 stone. I am quite relieved, seeing as I am going to be wearing last Summers clothes, and I can't afford to buy any new ones)



Back to the point of my thought trail on the way to town, - I was remembering 3 years ago, when I used to walk to work in the university, and I walked I would plan my new life, the one I knew would come eventually, with the ability to do something I love, to have my own house and to see the big wide world, and be succesful and very happy,and I used to get so excited. This morning as I was walking, I was thinking, wow, its all here, I have what I always wanted, a little more sleep wouldn't go amiss, but you know, its amazing.



So now I need to set my determinations for the next year, 5 years,  10 years, and the next 50 years, Gulp!!!!



Ok the schedule is; Germany first for Handelbeit (I cant spell it) then onto Peru, so I will let you know what new yarns are in store via Europe for you in the next year or so, its great to go and get new ideas. I also want to exhibit one day at Handelbeit, but its big, huge business, so I need to go and check it out and do some research first. There, I am meeting a few yarn producing friends from various countries, so that will be lovely to see them, and then Land of the Alpaca's here I come, I will actually bring home some yarns for blog prizes, and which will be prizes for answers to questions about my trip ;-)



I can't find my wool news anywhere, but I will try and find it and add on one or two of those articles later on.



I am so looking forward to blogging about my trip :-)



Happy knitting guys.
