The picture above shows Kimpton Church in Hertfordshire, nestled in an absolute swathe of yellow flowers. The countryside around Kimpton is always beautiful, but it was especially so on that day, and the heady aroma filled the air as we walked around.
Kimpton itself is a small, pretty village which throws its doors open to the public at the beginning of May for MayFest. The church is bedecked with paintings in a well‐attended art exhibition and there are lots of other events too. We enjoyed the traditional maypole dancing on the village green the last time we attended. And of course the cream teas are always welcome on a warm day. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Now the yellow scarf I was working on in my last post is pinned out on a blocking board and I will be posting the pattern for this very soon. Look out for the Kimpton Scarf & Wrap pattern coming shortly!
Happy Knitting!
