Besides the "demonstration pillow," I'm quite sure that Pat didn't give the writer (journalist?) the geography that the writer mentioned in her visit to Honiton. Guess she thought it added color. Firstly, Honiton, Devonshire is not anywhere near the North Sea; it is about 13 miles from the English Channel (Lyme Bay), and I question the "making fishing nets" statement. Anyway, the article is quite good. Thanks for sharing the link, Clay. Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA who lived in Chesham, Buckinghamshire and left a part of her heart there.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6 &objectid=10720596 I spotted a few interesting misconceptions... but otherwise it was a good article. Most amusing was the fact that the writer says, "Honiton lace is worked on a "demonstration pillow" filled with barley straw." I will be interested to see whether lace is part of the royal gown next week. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
