Rome, Italy
My first daylight walk around the hotel left me in a bit of architectural shock, and I mean this in a good way. It's just that I'm not so used to 15th century villas as I'm ambling down narrow streets. My head was on a swivel as I tried to take it all in. Eventually, I learned to take it all in stride, but those first impressions will stay with me.
Use your imagination while choosing among 20 different colorwork charts to create your masterpiece sweater. This unisex design (shown oversized on Kim and more fitted on John) is worked from the top down and also features a short row, ribbed shawl collar. Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted was a perfect yarn choice for this dreamy pullover.
If you have even had to collect your own bait for fishing you will know there is a real 'art' to it... so this gentleman out dragging for blood worms is my 'Artisan of the week'...
He drags this bag of fish frames over the sand as the waves recede & the worms pop their mouths open, up through the sand, to try & catch the scent so the baitman as quick as he can, pokes his finger right down beside the worm & gently pulls it out of the sand with it's head firmly pinched between his thumb & pointer finger... this is a very tricky operation as you don't want the worm to break or go back into the sand, as they are very long worms... he then rinses it in the sea water & pops it into a belt box he wears at the front of his waders...
I don't know if he was doing this for his own fishing trip or to sell them but it was so interesting to watch him being so patient. I have tried doing this when I was younger & I was hopeless at it...
My girlfriend was taking photos of the young guys surfing on their boards & I asked her to take a photo of this guy for me as he was quite some ways away & my 'up & shoot' camera is not good enough for such a shoot...
Thanks Embraced www.flickr.com/photos/59552002@N07/ ... do check her photos out... you might even see yours truly there... ha ha & I know she would love to hear your comments too...

I never know where the line is drawn between an artisan or a person who is so versed with their iPhone it takes your breath away… they are so quick & experienced with their iPhone you can look upon them as an artisan.
This was brought to my attention this week when I went to my Home page of my Flickr account, where they show you a greeting in another language… over the years I thought I have seen about all that I thought were possible… naaaaaay, you can always learn something new…
'Ha i'… lolspeak language… What is that? What country speaks that language? you say – I know I did… then when I was telling my hubby it hit me, lol, ‘laugh out loud’, speak… umm so after a bit of looking around the internet I found it is like text talk, chat talk, internet talk… There you go, it has a name… ‘lolspeak’…
We have learnt something new today… check out these sites… en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lolspeak
& en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolcat & even the Urban dictionary…
It amazes me how well some folks are at writing like this – not knowing it really had a name – I have found those that don’t spell really well, can write & read in txt really well, whereas fewer with spelling difficulties find it impossible to read… Seems to me if you hve learnt or understood how to spell or write in how a word 'sounds' you can really get this lolspeak 'down pat', as we used to say... ha ha... goodness knows how you say that now...
What amazes me or should I say scares me, is that I can usually read it quite easily… ummm… now what is that telling me… lol
This gentleman, who's name I forgot to ask, is on of the 2 guys who run the artisan gin distillery Jin Talog.
They were selling their fine product, a Gin made with just Juniper Berries, at the National Botanic Garden Wales Winter Food Fair

Hand-made crackers have an unusual beauty that I like, and utterly easy to make and adapt with different seeds or toppings. Give the best cheeses a fine stage to perform on. Coming up in the @guardianweekend magazine this Saturday: a two recipe special!
