My main reason, on the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli, is to thank the Australians - one of your forebears saved my grandfather's life there. How? By giving him a drink of water.
I don't know the details, sadly he was killed in a car crash weeks before I was born. I do know that he had had to cope with one cup of water a day before then. That was for him to drink, wash and shave and also everything for his horse. I also know that, from then on, he couldn't bear to hear a tap dripping or see water wasted. If it hadn't been for that wonderfully generous Australian, my family wouldn't be here. Thank you. For the lace content, I acquired a handmade christening gown recently. It has many inserts of Flanders type lace. The gown has obviously seen some wear but I don't think it is especially old. The lace looks handmade to me. My question is - is there machine made lace that looks like Flanders? Regards, Helen.
