a special person

Since I started blogging

almost five years ago 

(uhhhhhhm ... that long already ?)

I've "met" a lot of nice people,

starting of course with Jude and her warm circle

of slow-stitching friends,

and also others e.g. after my on-line felting course of Fiona Duthie.

But because I read German easily too

I "met" others in Germany, Austria and Switserland.

Meeting people in Blogland is fun

and it's wonderful experience
to make an exchange with someone :
so you send and get a surprise, 

really on your doormat ;-)

But  it is even more fun

when the possibility occurs

to meet in real life !

The very first time that we arranged that 

was three years ago with Gabi (Filzkram)

drinking coffee

and admiring her wonderful studio.

This year it turned out that we were having our family holiday

very near to where Birgit (Olann-Wolle) lives.

We've had contact before so it was easy to take the step

to arrange a meeting.

It was (again) no surprise 

that I was going to meet a wonderful person.

We had lovely warm (hot even) weather

so had coffee, and later lunch, with  Birgit and husband on the terras.

(and talked a LOT )

We toured around the garden, with the neighbour's young cows,

which are used as lawn mower,

Birgit's three sheep,

we  looked at her vegetable plot,

and  even picked some raspberries ... 

Then we went inside (it was really hot then)

and I showed the things I took with me from home

which I thought she would like to see "with her hands"

(uhuh ... that's the way textile-lovers lóók !) 

But there was someone else :

Älfi  (one of Birgit's three (in fact four) cats)

came in and found his rightful place

on my "Sun and Moons"

Oh my,

that day was much, much, much too short !!!!!
We could have talked for many more hours

(so we agreed on seeing each other again  ;-) !)

THANK  YOU  VERY  MUCH  BIRGIT !

(and Kai)

For this wonderful day

and for being such a lovely person !
