knitting or spinning in unusual places

At the moment, I seem to come across online discussions where in public you can knit or spin quite often. The best pic I have seen is by Starathena, here she is blogging about herself knitting on a "Splash Mountain" ride at Disneyland! (Inclucing photo)
I'm quite moderate compared to her, I only spin while going to the grocery store and in the park, in the waiting room.... my knitting isn't that portable at the moment, because the socks I'm making need a lot of chart following and concentration.

People usually turn their heads when I'm spinning in public, especially children think spinning is cool.

My current vision of a relaxing walk is me, with a good or my best friend, walking through the countryside on a sunny day and I've got a spindle in my hand, and I'm spinning some nice yarn while talking and laughing...

Today I met a farmer who I got to know many years ago. He's got sheep and maybe, when he doesn't forget about it, he'll get me some wool of his sheep! He's got some left from last year. This year they didn't shear them yet because of the bad weather. He said, they won't shear them at all this year, probably.
Anyway, I'm curious. I hope he remembers it :)
