Spindle at Cage Brook

Spindle at Cage Brook
Originally uploaded by Elen Sentier

Spindle Tree gets her name from the fact that her wood has been used for making spindles for spinning for a very long time, probably since humans discovered spinning and her strong wood.

She also has these beautiful pink flowers that open up to shoe brigth orange centres - an amazing counterpoint, pink and orange, that works beautifully.

We may have some spinning workshops at the cafe - keep watching here for news.
