Hi All
I've received the following information from Mercè Rovira i Regàs in
Catalonia which I thought some of you might find interesting:
Arenys de Mar, our main Lace Museum, will retake its International
Biannual Fair this year, due to the best pandemics situation in
Catalonia. April 22-24.
Our Duke and Duchess of Cornwall visited Honiton today and the Duchess was
given a piece of Honiton lace by Pat Perriman MBE and she talked about Queen
Victoria and her interest in the Lace industry.
