There's a Fibre Frenzy running in my village hall on the weekend of June 8/9/10. Hosted by me, and with teaching by me and Sally-in-Wales, amongst others. There's a thread about it here: https://forum.downsizer.net/about68982.html

It is also a wonderful location to run foraging weekends from.

She has an outdoor bread oven.
She provides the most sensational cakes, B&B and is all round lovely.
