In the UK they say “brilliant” instead of wonderful.  I’m having a brilliant time here in London.  I met with my U.K.publisher and visited their offices in Surrey.  Today was the Stitch and Craft Show in Olympia, which was fabulous.  I was surprised at the number of people acquainted with me and my books and was delighted to find the auditorium where I spoke to be standing-room only. 

At the Craft Show I was surprised to find possum yarn (a blend of wool and possum fur) and immediately purchased several skeins.  I was first introduced to possum yarn when I visited New Zealand and have been searching for it ever since.   More so than knitting, the hottest thing at the show was needlepoint.

Last night I was treated to the play The Sound of Music.  I’ve seen it many times, but this production was truly brilliant.  It was so well produced that I had tears in my eyes many times. 

Tomorrow I'll be on the Eurostar (underground train) on my way to Paris for a few days of fun.  I’m so looking forward to that!
