I guess by now many people will have realised that I’m the shy bobbin collector! I’ve offered my help to many people who needed pictures of bobbins for various reasons - I’m always happy to help if I can.
When 25+ years ago a chap from the other side of the world contacted me about old bobbin research I thought (sorry Brian!) - what a weirdo and that’s putting it nicely! But I thought I’d go along with him - chances to exchange news, views and info on old bobbins were few and far between. Then of all things he wanted to visit! I mean he was in Australia for heavens sake! Ok so I thought I’d still go along with it, I was just one of a number of contacts he had in this country. So while Jean was off doing her own thing my husband and I entertained Brian, I ’fed’ him bobbins by the score while he photographed them. Actually we had a great time. And as they say the rest is history, we’ve corresponded on and off now for many years collaborating on various projects on East Midlands bobbins - sometimes I despair at his typos but he’s so enthusiastic as I’m sure you're all aware!!
