In 1975 I was looking for a career that would fascinate me for the rest of my life. In a way, weaving chose me!

About Me
3 comments:
I've been to that mill. It is an amazing place.
Oh my - Quarry Bank is half an hour's drive from where I live. Sorry I missed you!
And I missed you on the 2nd as well - if you drove from Cromford to Glossop then at one point on the route (whichever of the two main routes you took) you would have been 5 mins drive from my home. I feel right out of touch with my weaving friends, how did I miss finding out you were over?
I need to re-think my life if being a weaver is not part of who I am now and claw back what I have let slip.
