Update

I am getting so frustrated not able to get on the allotment because of rain, there is so much to do!  I took a trip to Abingdon instead today to top up my ribbon stash. They have shops there called Masons  and along with craft supplies they have a good old fashioned fabric/haberdashery shop & a wool shop.  I buy many of my supplies there & if the weather is good a walk by the Thames is added, not today though it was back to the multi story car park & return home.
