I think you may be very lucky that you've had this wonderful experience Jane because I have heard that there are some problems with next year's fair. Apparently there has been a change in local government of Catalunya (i.e. the equivalent of their local council) and the fair may not be held any more. I've been wanting to go for many years, but the time is right for me only now. I tried to go last April, but the people who had to come with me could not for various reasons and when I contacted the people from Gozo, they promptly contacted the organisers to see if I could be accommodated but it was not to be. The Gozo school promised that my teacher and I would definitely be first on the list to go next Easter, but then we heard this news. Well (sigh) I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Do you have some good photos to share. Karen in Malta

I would be pleased to pass on details to her if anyone would like to contact me. My own visit to Spain in April was greatly enhanced by the details given me by Carolina la Guardia and Jenny deAngelis through Arachne; I'm currently held up by my technology from writing a proper report on it, but inside knowledge made a huge difference, and I'm most grateful to both of them. The visit was fascinating, and to see thousands of lacemakers lining the sea front at Lloret de Mar for the Catalunya lace day was tremendously exciting. Never thought I'd be lucky enough to see it, so it was a trip of a life-time for me, and I'd like to pass on my thanks to Carolina and Jenny. Something that interested me last night was that none of my students knew Arachne; so I'll take a print out in to the next class. My purple OIDFA bobbin arrived intact; thanks to all concerned.
