Can anyone tell me about Pitsligo Lace? I met a woman, who said her son
had learnt this bobbin lace in Scotland, Pitsligo. He doesn't live in
Parkes so I haven't any other information other than the mother thought
it originated from a Flanders lace.

A bit difficult to do a randomised control study on the roo whistles!
As to food allergies etc, how many of these people with allergies were
not breast fed? Considering since 2nd World War the incidence of

Dear List,
This thread of red shoes reminds me of a shoe poem my husband learnt as
a child. All I can remember is:
Black shoes, flat shoes, stamp them on the mat shoes.
That's the sort of shoes they'd buy!
The young person in the poem wanted some strappy pointed toe shoes etc.

One school project that I thought was beautifully drawn, in the light of
day was a disaster! Not to mention the kero and soot engrained hands

Due to working I did not see any of Camilla's hats, there was some
discussion on Lace Digest about her hat having French lace on it. In
