Saturday brought me to Kenilworth from Chawton; today I travel to Chichester to attend the open day at West Dean College tomorrow. I've spent a wonderful two days with Lucy and Rachel, Lucy who I met in Chicago in 2004 at the International Congress of Dietetics.
On Sunday we went to Rose Woodford's textile arts studio in a neighbouring village (http://www.rosewoodford.com/); what a joy it was to chat textiles over tea and to have a personalized tour of her gorgeous works.
My advice for anyone planning to travel by train in England, don't go on a Friday after work or on a Saturday. The train trips I did at these very busy times were quite simply terrible. Not enough cars, had to stand the entire journey crammed in with many others (who took the opportunity to chat on their cell phones the entire way....arrrghhhh!). NOT the pleasant train travel I had imagined. I'm trusting today's trip on a Tuesday mid morning will be much more the thing!
Next stop, Chichester...tomorrow, tapestry fans...West Dean!!!!!
