Claire, we are very much at the planning stage of this at the moment, but it sounds like a "possible" :o) certainly worth an " if possible, yes" one, I would LOVE to come to California and meet some local "crafters" too if they are on offer, i have met Chanteyranger briefly when he visited London and would love the opportunity to visit his "National Park" that is a Ship!!!! and did you say you are near Wine Country?!!!!(I do not know California at all)
Megan, I dont know whether to be apprehensive or excited by your offer!! but one of these days I hope to meet you and Dauvit too and even to meet again that grumpy auld git that you hang about with up there in the "frozen North" I am currently freezing my butt off waiting for the "man" to fix my heating!!
