I visited this Hare & Hounds yesterday:

I probably should have been here long before now, it's in Shudehill and I've been past it dozens of times since I started my Hare & Hounds quest.
A pub in the centre of Manchester possibly isn't a likely destination for a ramble, and when I set out from home I had no idea I going there. I thought I was going to the craft shop on Oldham Street to get some supplies - but it was a hot muggy day and by the time I got there I felt very grimy and dehydrated. A quick refreshing lager was just the ticket!
Of all the Hare & Houndses I've visited this one certainly had the most atmosphere, in fact it was a bit bonkers (in a good way). It was a shame I didn't have time to linger longer, but I still had nearly seven miles to walk to get home again. I will be visiting again.
Back to the craft shop. It has a name something like Azkaban, but it's not that, that's the prison in Harry Potter where the Dementors live. The craft shop is a happy place and I was getting some bits for one of my other hobbies. I am making a rainbow in installments. (My life isn't all beer and hill-walking, you know.)
Yesterday's provisions were needed for the chartreuse portion of the rainbow.
My rainbow, my rules.
Are we going to see a picture of this rainbow creation of yours dear Crab?
ReplyDeleteIs this another knitted creation, or are you doing a different sort of crafting?
We need to know these things.
Hello my dear Pork Chop! Yes, one day there will be photos - once I've got around to taking some, that is. The rainbow isn't knitted, it's sewn.
ReplyDeleteYou are a talented Crab my dear. I can't sew or knit. I shall look forward to seeing your rainbow. Does it have a purpose, other than being decorative?
