Here we 'enjoy' a temperate rain forest climate. It is most obvious in the winter but maybe that is because there are no leaves on the trees. I gathered this in January.<br /> The colour is difficult to describe, too dark for mushroom, maybe brown purple is nearer. Sat beside something that is bright pink it does not look brown. The bottom pic on my monitor is very close to the colour. In fact almost identical.<br />Hope this helps you,<br /> Mary Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985899348414225241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479175305237455838.post-89763178291129144232014-05-03T07:53:22.618-07:002014-05-03T07:53:22.618-07:00Hi heather I am not sure if I going to run an actu...Hi heather I am not sure if I going to run an actual workshop weekend again, but I hope to move myself into a small workshop this month where I will demonstrate spinning most mornings and take classes that are pre- booked.
