And, prior to that (thanks to Google!), Pat Read and Pamela Nottingham were also recipients! So, this seems to bring the total to four.

This is not a first, but is still a wonderful recognition! In 1997, Elsie Luxton was awarded this honor for her work in Honiton Lace. There may have been others prior to that, but it would have been "before my time"!

This is brilliant news - I'm so pleased at this recognition.

Is it a first?
(That is, that someone has received an honour for something to do with lace - making it, teaching it, whatever.)

A very happy new year to everyone,
Linda Walton,

where we've just noticed that the airliners lining up to land at Heathrow have been recognising the New Year by flying with their landing lights on - more than a dozen orange fireflies drifting through the night sky!).
