Last Saturday I went to an event at my LQS (local quilting shop). A tour group -- 15 quilters and their partners -- had booked a cruise together and set up their own program, independent of what the cruise ship organized. They had quilting sessions on board, a quilt design they were each adapting to include snapshots from the trip, and their on-shore excursions were to quilt shops. Our LQS had sent out emails to local quilters for a show-and-tell session and a special morning sale. So now it strikes me: what about a laid-back bike "cruise", visiting the best LBS's, doing the best local rides ...? RM isn't likely to move her shop to California, or Wales, or Norway. But maybe some TE'ers could put together a train cruise and visit the shop.

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
