May

May brings fresh green leaves and  blossom, sunshine and showers and longer days.


Mahonia can always be relied upon to bring a splash of colour to the spring garden


The exhibition 'Kaffe Fassett A Life in Colour' at the London Fashion & Textile Museum is well worth a visit. It is on until the end of June. You will be stunned by the kaleidoscope of colour. There are over 100 exhibits including  shawls, jackets, throws, patchwork quilts and hats  ....
 



 The exhibition shop sells books, fabrics, yarns, kits and jewellery
