Advent calendars from Good Gifts |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both our advent calendars are true to the message of Christmas. Every day, a window opens to show another little gift with disproportionate impact: seeds for a poor farmer; lifesaving medicine; a bowl of rice; a ball for a child with no toys; culminating in a warm hat for a cold baby. Each version has different gifts and helps more than 24 lives giving interest and pleasure. |

Knit for Peace Country House Party Newbattle Abbey, Edinburgh March 14th – 17th 2018 |
|
|
Combine a visit to the Edinburgh Yarn Festival with a chance to visit Edinburgh and its surroundings. Non-knitters welcome! Newbattle Abbey was founded as a Cistercian Monastery in 1140, with the Reformation it became the ancestral home of the Lothian family. In 1937, the Marquis of Lothian gave Newbattle Abbey to the nation to be used as an educational establishment. It’s now a training college for mature students. Set in 125 acres of park land, both the building and its grounds are listed as items of outstanding architectural and archaeological importance and the reception rooms (in which we’ll be holding some of our evening meetings) have been described as the most beautiful in Scotland. |
