Today we went the other direction along the coastal drive.
We stopped at a yarn mill in a little town called Belfast, they produce machines for spinning, carding and felting of wool. The machines are computer capable and they have a huge weaving loom, bigger than any I have ever seen.
The mill is located on a huge piece of farmland and the mill business must be pretty good. They had a gorgeous home and the land was lovely with sheep, goats, cows and a large pet pig.
The mill is family owned the mother and one sister run the mill and the twin sister runs the tea house. The men folk run the business of shipping machinery all over the world.
Dorothy bought some wool for our niece Rebecca who has her own spinning wheel. Also bought some already spun to make some scarfs. They sell wool from all kinds of animals even dog and cat. Weird but unbelievably soft.
Then we went to look at "bottle village" It is in someones back yard, someone with too much time on their hands or an alcoholic built little houses a school and a church out of empty liquor bottles.
We stopped at a cool little place to eat, every table and every chair were different it looked like a yard sale exploded, but our lunch was really good.
Tomorrow we are heading into Cavendish to stay for a few days, we have seen everything here and now we can't drink the water, it has to be boiled they even brought bottled water to us.
We bought lobsters cooked them and put them in the freezer, guess we will have many friends when we get home.
