Received a lovely Milanise Heart today from Laura in Tasmania. Cheered
me up, it's frosty and foggy. Most unpleasant! Still struggling to get
finished for the family!
A Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year to all Arachnes.

Sue in a damp, cold, drizzly East Yorkshire,
Lorelei posted that she compares learning bobbin lace to woodcarving. I
compare learning bobbin lace to chess. In one chess lesson you can learn the
basic moves and play a simple game of chess, but it takes a lifetime to master

Dear Susan,
Thank you so much for these two websites. I am trying to keep a list of lace
places to see, and Cogne is a new one. The Le Puy website is new to me,
although I have been there. It is a lovely website with lots to see. I saw it
in 2007, and I can attest that at that time the

I agree Rebecca. My husband is a good chess player but has never learnt

Nice - Lyon is four and a half hours if you get a direct train, five if you
change at Marseille, Aix or Avignon.
The days of the absolute punctuality of French trains are in the past; my

Arlene's question was:
Anything possible to see as a day trip via train/bus that a
not-so-brave traveler who does not speak French could possibly get to?
I am afraid that my true feeling about this is that the answer is no,
especially now that Susan has told us that Lyon is 4 1/2 hours
I do both bobbin lace and play chess, yes they are similar. Both require
you to think/ do problem solving in similar ways. Think ahead of your
current move, work out where you are going next and plan the next phase.
