Birthday Gift

When we returned from Canada at Christmas, Max commented that our house was not as "cosy" as those in Canada. I think part of that is the tile floors everywhere. Since then I have been looking for a rug for the living room to help "warm it up".......
On my birthday Tim and I spent the day exploring some shops that I have been wanting to visit. We went to a welding duka and ordered a table for the deck and to a woodworking duka to order some frames for photos. But we also went to a carpet factory and ordered a rug!
This is a sample of our rug. It will go beautifully with our Maasai red walls and our orange tile floor -- how's that for colour?

We were very pleased to then be able to meet Florence and Morris who will wash the wool and dye it.

Tomorrow we will visit the factory again to see how Catherine is coming along with our rug. She thinks it will take about 10 days for her to complete the rug.
