"Where did you say you were going tonight?" my husband asked. "You're going to the theatre without me?"
"I'm going to Theatr Clwyd in Wales to listen to a talk about sheep," I told him, for the umpteenth time. I knew he hadn't been listening on any of the occasions that I'd told him about it - it really wouldn't be his idea of a fun evening! Oh, but it certainly was mine! 😀
It was mid-September and Anne of the Yarn O'Clock yarn shop in Mold had arranged an evening's talk and workshop with Zoe Fletcher. Known as The Woolist, Zoe has recently been awarded a Doctorate for a practical, research-based project which involved collecting information on the 72 - yes, you read that right - 72! - pure breeds of British sheep. Or, as Zoe says, she's now a Doctor of Wool!
