Hi there, nice to know you will be at Bristol. The Friday evening

Please try to convince your husband to go to the convention. The convention
in 1989 was the first one that my DH went to. We spent the weekend in the
Rockies then proceeded to Denver. All the female chit-chat at registration

Hi,
I know I picked up a flier at the Weston-super-Mare fair about the Bristol
thing, but I never actually got any further with it, despite it being in my

not far to travel to meet other lacers if I'm free that day.

Legs are bigger than you think, and the longer the lace the better.
I like the garter best which is already assembled, with the elastic, and then
the lace is attached along an edge. Three yards? And be sure the bride has a

Thank you for my parcel that arrived today.
I do like the look of the flowers in the address book.
The nature is so different from ours.

I do like the fragrance of the perfume and the bath gloves are
really good.
