Hi Margot -
May be a bit heroic for a day trip - Barnard Castle is a long way from
London (approx 3 hours each way by train with a 15 mile road link at the
end).
The museum web site certainly looks interesting and they are giving talks on
the collection on the second Tuesday of each month so might be worth trying
to coincide your visit with that. Lovely part of the country to spend a few
days in. Maybe there is someone on the list who is more local than me who
can give advice on where to stay etc.

Subject: [lace] Blackborne Collection at Bowes Museum

I leave for England next Tues. and am setting off on a lace tour of
Normandy the next day. Then back to London for 4 weeks. During that time
I hope to make a day trip to the Bowes Museum. I'll let you know all about
it when I get back towards the end of Oct.

Has
anyone gone to it? I am anxiously awaiting reviews because it would take
quite
a lot of scrambling, husband persuading, and even perhaps compromises on
the
features of a new car, in order to get there by April 29th. Sept 9-April
29th are not my favorite times for visiting England.
Please, please, someone go there and then provide an honest assessment!
